A 16-foot fall off a cell was only the start of extraordinaire pain for Mick Foley, he suffered a concussion, lost teeth, thumbtacks covering his body, in the end him and The Undertaker created one of the most barbaric matches in WWE history.

That defining moment is discussed in detail in WWE’s latest home video release, For All Mankind: The Life and Career of Mick Foley. From his peers to his bosses and a bonus commentary track Foley recorded with former Extreme Championship Wrestling voice Joey Styles, fans get a different take on the near 15-year match that is still considered one of the most memorable matches of all-time.

The two-hour plus documentary on disc one takes you through a decent portion of Foley’s wrestling career, his early beginnings, WCW, ECW, WWE, and his eventual retirement. Not every angle, moment, match or standout performance is covered because there are just far too many for a three-disc set. However, Foley did have an amazing career and what is covered is still intriguing and different as WWE for the first time ever had Foley’s friend Shane Douglas comment on Foley making it in the business and talking to his kids that are starting to grow up.

Match selection for this set is also unlike most releases as it features bouts that mostly have never been released on home video by WWE. There is his first WWE match against The British Bulldogs but this time provided with alternate commentary. Only shame is that there is only three bonus commentary tracks, but definitely must listen material. Styles and Foley making fun of Douglas and trying to talk about Foley struggle through his match with Undertaker is quality viewing.
