WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was hospitalized after being involved in a serious car accident on Tuesday. Fortunately, it seems that despite the severity of the crash, Foley is going to be okay.
The Hardcore Legend shared an update on Instagram, revealing the damage to his car and providing a glimpse into his condition. Foley admitted that while he was suffering from soreness across his body from his knees to his neck and dealing with minor concussion symptoms, he felt incredibly lucky to have walked away relatively unscathed from the crash. The image he posted showed a heavily damaged vehicle, illustrating just how intense the impact had been.
In his social media post, Foley expressed his astonishment at still being able to walk after the accident. “TOUGH DAY FOR MICK!” he wrote. “I have no idea how I am still walking around after this accident. I’m in the hospital now, and I’m sore from my knees to my neck, including a minor concussion.”
Mick Foley’s wrestling career
Speaking of Foley, the WWE legend is a three-time WWE Champion and also earned the reputation as one of the toughest competitors in wrestling history. He became a legend for enduring brutal, painful moments in the ring, particularly his infamous 1998 Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker.
Back in 1994, Foley’s throat was tied up on the ring ropes during a match against Vader under the WCW banner. Foley was choking and had to force himself free. He ended up losing part of his ear in the process.
Despite the extreme physical toll his wrestling career took on his body, Foley has always been known for his toughness and resilience. While this accident was unrelated to wrestling, it once again demonstrated Foley’s incredible ability to survive and endure, adding to his legendary status in the eyes of his supporters.
