WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was hospitalized on April 1, 2025, after being involved in a car accident and suffering a minor concussion. Despite the scare, the hardcore wrestling icon reassured fans via social media that he walked away relatively unscathed. He posted another video on Wednesday, offering an additional update on his current condition.
Foley, known for enduring extreme physical punishment throughout his legendary wrestling career, was surprised at the small amount of damage he sustained. He knows that things could have been a whole lot worse.
While it was admitted that this may have seemed like an April Fools’ joke at first, Foley’s accident was very real. However, in true Foley fashion, he maintained his trademark positivity and humor and said he wouldn't be missing any of his upcoming shows. He thanked all the fans and some wrestlers for their support.
Foley said in his video message to the fans:
"Hi, everyone, it's Mick Foley. I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for your well-wishes, your positive energy, your prayers. I had so many people in wrestling reach out to me, I just was sending some texts with The Undertaker a few minutes ago... Triple H reached out. It's been a pleasure, really, to have some of the biggest stars in wrestling, and Al Snow, reach out to me. That never gets old."
He added:
"I want to be honest though, I'm banged up. I feel like a truck has run over me. I'm propped up against about seven pillows, but looking at that accident, looking at that car, I don't think anyone would predict that the guy in that car would come of it with soft tissue damage. It's pretty- I don't want to say miraculous- but I'm feeling really fortunate right now. I will not be missing any of my dates. I'll be in Texas this weekend. I'll be traveling to New Mexico, Arizona, and of course, to WrestleMania, and again, I just want to thank everyone and reassure you that it was not an April Fools joke. I'm very grateful, very sore, but thankful for all of you. Have a nice day."
Fans are thankful that Foley wasn't more seriously injured.
