Thanks to the following report from friend of WWEDVDNews, Evan McFarlane, we can now share some more information on the new Mick Foley documentary, and screenshots too.
For All Mankind: The Life and Career of Mick Foley is available to pre-order now for April 16th release over at Amazon.com and WWEShop.com.
Firstly, here is a list of confirmed personalities on the interview list –
• Mick Foley
• Jim Gray (Mick’s childhood friend)
• John Imbriani (Mick’s friend)
• Dominic Denucci (WWF wrestler in the 70s & Mick’s wrestling trainer)
• Shane Douglas (Speaking about being Mick’s wrestling training partner)
• Michael Hayes
• Vader (Speaking about he and Cactus’ matches in WCW)
• CM Punk
• Paul Heyman
• Terry Funk
• Joey Styles
• Jim Ross
• Triple H
• Shawn Michaels (Speaking about the Mind Games match)
• Mick’s daughter
• William Regal
• Big Show
• Judith Regan (Founder of ReganBooks, which published Foley’s book)
• The Miz
• The Rock (Footage from Epic Journey of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson when talking about the Rock & Sock Connection)
Some further insight into the content and format of the documentary –
Standard WWE documentary narrative (moving from childhood, through full wrestling career, to comedy career at the end).
Plenty of WCW, NWA, ECW and other organisation footage within.
About 13 minutes spent on Mick’s childhood.
Hell in a Cell at King of the Ring 1998 gets about 15 minutes of coverage and Mick himself doesn’t actually comment on the bumps, as it’s mainly Terry Funk & Jim Ross.
10-15 minutes looking at Foley’s commissioner role (showing main highlights).
About 10 minutes at the end is on his commentary run.
Blood, swearing and WWF references remain intact and with no blurs.
Low-quality footage of Mick tearing his ear off in Germany is shown in the doc.
There’s no coverage of Mick’s TNA career, as they basically stop talking about it after his match with Edge at WM22.
Additional fun tidbits and other juicy stuff –
Mick goes on record of saying he didn’t like his WrestleMania 20 match, that coming back in 2000 to wrestle was one of the worst decisions he ever made, and how after the infamous Hell in a Cell bumps Vince McMahon came up to him and said he doesn’t want to see anything like that ever again. Foley considers the time period of his role as WWF Commissioner the best of his career.

“For All Mankind” will also be released this month to UK/Europe at WWEDVD.co.uk, and it follows on to the Australian licensee WWEDVD.com.au in early May.
If only they had Dean Ambrose as one of the people interviewed for the documentary…..
…… yeaa? lol
I wish they waited for Sting to leave TNA. I know due to his loyalty, who knows when he’ll actually stop although I can’t see it going on much longer.
Sting stated Mick put him on the wrestling map so its only fitting he be interviewed. They also could have gotten new comments from Rock instead of just footage from The Epic Journey.
Hope Orton and HHH are part of the documentary too as Mick Foley played a great part in their success. Vince too just to hear him comment on all the hilarious stuff between the two towards the end of 98 on RAW.
So no Steve Austin or did I miss something?
What can The Miz possibly share with us, thats of any interest, about Mick Foley???
I hate when they take footage from others DVDs >:(
I bet wwe will make daniel bryan shave the beard now because of the james holmes similarity. watch
Ok we get it
Daniel bryan i mean
James holmes the theater shooter looks like danile bryan.
I hope Shane Douglas does not sign to wrestle with WWE and he sticks with his Extreme Rising event… You Kevin Nash came back, Booker T, New Age Outlaws… let the new guys have a run for change
There’s a better chance of Chris Benoit showing up on RAW tonight and having sex with Michael Cole on the announce table than there is of Shane Douglas ever wrestling in WWE again.
Extreme Rising is all but done. They cancelled their 2 shows for WrestleMania weekend because ticket sales were non-existent. The Staten Island, NY show was in a 250-300 seat venue and they couldn’t even fill half of that.
Any chance they have these at the Hall of Fame this weekend?
Sounds great. But they rarely mess up a biography, so it’s expected.
DVD looks great. I’ve been looking forward to this release for a long time now.
So glad Kofi Kingston and Matt Striker are not on that interview list!!
The Miz fills their annoying roles quite well though…
No Brooklyn Brawler either!
I am watching this with friends Tuesday night! Should be great
I can’t believe they got Shane Douglas for this. I can’t wait to see it.
I agree, considering his bitterness towards WWE/Vince and last year he was actually at ringside on RAW causing heat and “sticking it to Vince” by promoting his Extreme Rising event.
