Mick Foley shares update after car wreck: ‘I’m feeling really fortunate right now’

Posted: Apr 3rd 2025 By: Joseph Currier

Mick Foley is counting his blessings after avoiding catastrophic injury in a scary car wreck.

The 59-year-old hardcore legend shared a photo on Tuesday showing himself standing mostly unscathed in front of a badly damaged car. Foley wrote that he was sore after the accident and suffered what he described as a “mild” concussion, but he was lucky to have avoided further injury.

He followed that up with a video today thanking everyone who’s reached out to him. Foley said it’s almost miraculous that he only has soft tissue damage. Though he’s still banged up from the accident, he plans on making all of the upcoming appearances he has scheduled.

“Hey everybody, it’s Mick Foley. And I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for your well-wishes, your positive energy, your prayers,” he said. “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. Been a pleasure, really, to have had some of the biggest stars in wrestling — and Al Snow — reach out to me [laughs]. That never gets old.

“I’m going 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, and looking at that car, I don’t think anyone would predict that the guy in that car would come out of it with soft tissue damage. It’s pretty — I don’t want to say miraculous, but I’m feeling really fortunate right now. And I will not be missing any of my dates. I’ll be in Texas this weekend. I’ll be traveling to New Mexico, Arizona, of course on to WrestleMania.

“And, again, I just want to thank everyone [and] assure you that it was not an April Fool’s joke. I’m very grateful, very sore, but thankful for all of you. Have a nice day.”

Foley is set to turn 60 years old this June. He was originally hoping to come out of retirement for one last match in celebration of this milestone birthday, but Foley announced last year that he was calling off those plans after suffering a concussion during training.

While appearing at the For the Love of Wrestling convention this February, Foley said his health is doing “pretty well” all things considered. He has lost a significant amount of weight with the help of weight-loss medication.
