WWF: Mick Foley: Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops

My son loves this DVD

Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops is an excelent dvd. Put out in 2001 in covers the "end" of Mick Foley's carrer. The Feature Begins with his "feud" with Al Snow. It then briefly covers The Rock n Sock Connection. Next we have his fued with HHH in 2000. Foley covers the return of Cactus Jack and Highlights are shown of thier Royal Rumble Street Fight. Hightlights are shown of Hell in a Cell from No Way Out as well as his Wrestlemania retirement match. The rest of the DVD covers Mick Foley as Comishiner. Mick sits down with Edge and Christian to talk about some of the funny moments they were invovled in. This is some really funny stuff. The Feature ends with Mick talking about the way he wants to be rememberd. Special features include all of Mick's titantron videos and five hand picked matches. They are; 1. Mankind vs HBK This a WWF title match from Mind Games. Great Match. It was included on the Greatest Hits and Misses DVD but the rest of the DVD makes up for that. Worth a second look even if your own the other DVD 4/5 stars 2. Mankind vs Steve Austin This is a Raw match from 1996. A good brawl between two Icons. 3/5 stars 3. Mankind vs The Rock A WWF Title match from Halftime Heat 1999. This one goes all over the arena and then some. Great comedy match. The Rock really shines with his trash talk. 4/5 stars 4. Dude Love vs. Stone Cold A WWF title match from Over The Edge 1999. This one is also Included on Greatest Hits and Misses. It is a great match and is also worth a second look. 4/5 Stars 5. Al Snow vs Big Boss Man A Kenel from Hell match from Unforgiven 1999. Horrible match but comentary is provided by Kevin Kelly and Mick Foley. They are very funny. They call the match as if it were a classic. Worth the Price of the DVD. Highlight Mick Foley- "Tables are Turned Tables are Turned" 5/5 stars If You are a Mick Foley even if you own Greatest Hits and Misses. You should get this DVD. It is one of my personal favorites the WWE has put out.

This DVD is hosted by the loveable Mick Foley who has become a big fatso, he looks terrible but hosts this hour chronicle of his final year in the ring very well. I just can't get over the fat thing, I mean a wife like that... Anyway the clips are good especially the Triple H battles with the trailers leading up to them being some of the best in recent memory (remember moppy). The DVD extras as always really put this over, HALFTIME HEAT between the Foley and Rock is finally released in its entirety. This is a match that even a non wrestling fan could like. My wife hates wrestling and she was amused by the classic heel the Rock use to be. The two Austin matches are very good but all these fail in comparison to the the classic contest of THE KENNEL IN THE CELL pitting the number one heel in the company for sure the Big Bossman against Al Snow, who is bent on revenge for having his dog fed to him for dinner. This match is so brutal that only the hardcore legend himself Mick Foley could stomach the action and has to be accompanied by Michael Cole to hold his barf bag. Worse yet there are blood thirsty german shepards held by trainers on short leashes whom would surely chew the two combatents to shreds, the crowd goes into a frenzy like never before therefore acclaiming it the match of the decade!!! Foley vs HBK is another great match from Mind Games, but is overshadowed on this DVD by the Kennel match , all around Awesome DVD.

THIS THE DVD IS KIND OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN OF FOLEY'S CAREER AND I KNOW ABOUT FOLEY LET'S SEE I HAVE THE 2 BOOKS OF FOLEY'S CAREER I HAVE THIS DVD EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE BUT WELL THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT THE DVD. THIS DVD INCLUDES SOME OF HIS GREATEST HIGHLIGHTS IN HIS WWF(NOW WWE)CAREER IT INCLUDES STUFF LIKE HIS FEUD WITH TRIPLE H, THE FRIENDSHIP AND HATE TO AL SNOW,THE ROCK 'N SOCK CONNECTION, THE INFAMOUS STREET FIGTH OF ROYAL RUMBLE 2000 (I HAVE IT TO) NOT THE ALL MATCH BUT SOME OF THE GOOD PARTS OF IT,ANOTHER PARTS OF HELL IN A CELL MATCH FOR DEFENDING HIS WWF CAREER AGAINST HHH HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH EDGE & CHRISTIAN VERY FUNNY STUFF, AND THE DVD EXTRAS ARE JUST AWESOME I WAS HOPPING WHEN I BUY THIS DVD THAT IT INCLUDES THE INFAMOUS MATCH: MANKIND V.S. THE UNDERTAKER IN THE HELL IN A CELL MATCH BUT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE IT BUT INCLUDES SOME GREATEST MATCH LIKE: MANKIND V.S. SHAWN MICHAELS (IYH MIND GAMES)THIS IS MY FAVORITE, STONE COLD V.S. MANKIND (RAW IS WAR 1996 ONE OF THE GREATEST MATCHES IN THE RAW HISTORY) BIG BOSS MAN V.S. AL SNOW (ALL THE PEOPLE SAYS THAT THIS IS A HILARIOUS MATCH BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT'S HILARIOUS AT THIS MATCH IT'S SO BORING, THE ROCK V.S. MANKIND HALFTIME HEAT AN AWESOME MATCH, AND DUDE LOVE V.S. STONE COLD KIND OF A GOOD MATCH WELL I THINK THAT'S IT THE DVD IS ALMOST 2 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES LENGTH SO BANG BANG & HAVE A NICE DAY.

What else is their to say about Foley? He's a best selling author, a hardcore icon and probably one of my favorite wrestlers to step through the curtain in any company. In this dvd, it shows his time during his 2000 feud with Triple HHH, his transformation to Cactus Jack and his time as WWF Commissioner. The thing about this dvd that makes it such a bargain is, because Foley is such a smart guy when talking about wrestling and angles, and you get Foley talking about all mentioned above including The Rock and Sock Connection, really funny moments with him and Edge and Christian and who can forget, he's gotta talk about Al Snow? Some of the extras include his titan trons for Dude, Commish Foley, Cactus and Mankind, some of his matches during that time frame and of course the classic bout with Al Snow facing Big Boss Man in a Kennel in a Cell match with commentary by Kevin Kelly and Mick Foley and that alone is worth the admission of this dvd. Pure awesomeness.
