Movie Reviews of WWE - Mick Foley - Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops
Movie Review: Have A Nice Day, Mick
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is structured so Mick Foley can speak on his years in the WWF from late 1999-2000 where he became Commissioner after retirement. Foley speaks on his on & off camera relationship with Al Snow, the Rock & Sock connection, his last two matches as Cactus Jack against Triple H, the story behind his WrestleMania 2000 main event match, what his purpose of being the commissioner was along with the story behind the "cheap pop," his on camera chemistry with Edge & Christian, and his on screen relationships with Stephanie McMahon, Stone Cold, and Mr. McMahon.
DVD Extras are five matches that Mick choose as his favorites & are well worth the price of this DVD.
WWF Champion Shawn Michaels vs Mankind (Mind Games 1996). Mick regards this match as the best one of his career & I can not argue that. Awesome match between these two as this was one of the few times you would see HBK really aggressive in his offense along with Foley's crazy daredevil style. This match is so good that WWF stated this as the best from 1996.
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Mankind (Raw Is War 1996). Believe it or not, this was one of the best Raw matches of that time as this was just a wild brawl that was out of control that the referees could not break the action along with cameos from Paul Bearer, The Executioner & Undertaker.
Empty Arena Match: WWF Champion The Rock vs Mankind (Halftime Heat). This is one of those matches that show just how great of a heel The Rock truly is as he talks a ridiculous amount of trash that it is hard to keep from laughing at times. This was entertaining as they battled all over the arena, used everything that they could get their hands on & check out the sequence from the kitchen to the office room for entertainment. Vince McMahon doing commentary also adds to the match.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Dude Love (Over The Edge 1998). Mick's favorite match as the Dude Love character & my personal favorite match of 1998 (although there were many). The atmosphere was electric & resembled an ECW arena & this is what you expect it to be. Good wrestling in the ring & just a wild hardcore brawl outside of the ring with Vince McMahon as the referee (along with changing the rules) & cameos from Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco & The Undertaker.
Kennel From Hell Match: Hardcore Champion Al Snow vs Big Bossman (Unforgiven 1999). The way to win this match is to escape the steel cage, then the Hell In A Cell with rapid dogs in between the two cages. Foley just put this match for comedy reasons as he & Kevin Kelly call the action & just trash this wrestlecrap of a match. Horrible match, enough said.
Overall, this is a great DVD set to get & considering that I got this for a dollar, while others are selling it cheaply, I strongly recommend to any Mick Foley fan.
Summary of WWE - Mick Foley - Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops
Whether assuming the persona of his Leatherface homage, Mankind, or the mythical Cactus Jack, or the tie-dye clad Dude Love, wrestling legend Mick Foley forever changed the WWF in his 15-year career. This loaded DVD--perhaps the finest compilation on one wrestler the federation has ever released--attempts to explain why. Actually, what makes this so entertaining and informative is that it's the now-retired Foley who walks you through his career (and in the best sections, candidly deconstructs his most famous matches). Regardless of his numerous personas, the one constant throughout his career was a geeky, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that dominated even his most violent, grueling matches. Fat, hairy, and sporting a large, gap-toothed smile, the happy-go-lucky Foley proudly admits that he ushered in the Uber-Nerd into the WWF, and gave dorks around the world a role model.However, his odd ring antics--such as Mankind's signature move of stuffing a sock down the throat of an opponent--and backstage slapstick behavior were only part of the Foley story. As a wrestler, few were as hardcore. Whether falling 20 feet onto tables, getting raked across the face with a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire, or getting pile-driven into a floor full of tacks, Foley pushed his unfit body to ultimate extremes. Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops highlights some of his more brutal matches, including the classic Street Fight with Triple H, which may stand as the bloodiest match in WWF history. Owners of the DVD also get five of Foley's favorite handpicked matches, making this a must-own for his fans, or fans of wrestling anywhere. --Dave McCoy
