The wrestling legend posted a picture of what was left of his car on Instagram in a post titled 'TOUGH DAY FOR MICK.'
Foley explains, "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." Considering the state of his car, it looks like he got off lightly.
The 59-year-old was WWE royalty in the 90s. He joined the WWE in 1996 and retired in 2000. During his career, he wrestled as Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love and even fought The Rock in a ladder match in 1999. While he retired in 2000, Foley couldn't stay away from the ring forever and made a surprise appearance at the 2012 Royal Rumble.
Just a year later, the WWE inducted Foley into the 2013 Hall of Fame. Per People, the former champ toyed with the idea of returning to the ring once again for his 60th birthday in June 2025. However, per ITR Wrestling, Foley stated the match would not be happening due to health reasons. However, when asked about a potential cameo in the Royal Rumble in the future, Foley reportedly said, "I wouldn't say I'm not entering the Royal Rumble," leaving fans to speculate.
