Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses: A Life in Wrestling is a two disc DVD set that looks back at the wrestling career of Mick Foley. It was released on January 20, 2004.

Original Release

Disc One

*WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Cactus Jack vs. Big Van Vader ("WCW Saturday Night", April 17 1993)
**Since WCW had a strict policy on blood not being shown on television at the time, the appearance of blood was edited out of the original broadcast. Blood was shown on the DVD thanks to an unedited copy of the match that Foley owned.
**This match is missing the original commentary by Jesse "The Body" Ventura, due to an early 1990s lawsuit involving videotape royalties filed by Ventura against the WWF.
*Chicago Street Fight for the WCW World Tag Team Championship: Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. The Nasty Boys (Spring Stampede, April 17 1994)
**The match finished as the first runner up in Pro Wrestling Illustrated Match of the Year voting.
*Cactus Jack vs. Sabu ("ECW Hostile City Showdown", June 24, 1994)
**On the DVD, Foley said that fans might have been disappointed with the match since they expected to "see someone die."
*Cactus Jack vs. Chris Candido (Smoky Mountain Wrestling, November 18 1994)
**This was the only match on the DVD to take place in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
**The chapter includes a pre-match promo from Cactus Jack.
*Texas Death match: Cactus Jack vs. The Sandman (Extreme Championship Wrestling, February 4 1995)
** Foley does not consider this match one of his best, due to the fact that The Sandman suffered a concussion early in the match and thus is clearly dazed and confused throughout the match, seemingly forgetting the rules of the Last Man Standing gimmick. Foley did not even pick it for the DVD.
*Cactus Jack & Raven vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer ("November to Remember", November 18 1995)
*Cactus Jack vs. Mikey Whipwreck ("ECW Big Ass Extreme Bash", March 9 1996)

Schiavone sarcastically said of Foley's victory "That will put some butts in the seats." Following the comment, many fans switched over to Raw to see the championship match, resulting in many lost viewers for Nitro's main event which was the infamous "Fingerpoke of Doom" match between Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash.
