Months after car accident, WWE legend Mick Foley provides health update

Months after a car accident, WWE legend Mick Foley has shared a health update. The hardcore legend has endured a gruesome in-ring career, which has taken its toll on his body.

The accident left him with a minor concussion and minor injuries. However, on this occasion, Foley had a positive health update for his fans.

Speaking on the Kayfabe Friends Wrestling Podcast, Mick Foley was asked how he was feeling. The WWE Hall of Famer said he was better than before, despite being a little sore.

"Not too bad, all things considered. I don’t have to wonder when I wake up what I did for a living. You know, I’m sore. But I’m not as sore as I thought I’d be. And I’m actually, thanks to the hip and knee replacement, then, you know, I did lose 99 pounds. I’ve gained some of it back on, but I’m still walking better than I was 15 years ago, I would say. I actually once in a while pass people in the airport when I’m walking. So I’m doing better than I thought I’d be doing,” he said.

The former WWE Champion was involved in a car accident in April, and Triple H and The Undertaker reached out to him. Thankfully, he was able to walk away from the incident without any major injuries.

Mick Foley had plans for an in-ring return earlier this year

Mick Foley last competed in the 2012 Royal Rumble match. Since then, he has made sporadic WWE appearances in non-wrestling roles.

Last year, Foley had planned to come out of retirement for one final death match to celebrate his 60th birthday. But he had to withdraw after suffering a concussion during light training.

At this point, it appears unlikely that we will see him as an active in-ring competitor anytime soon.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
