WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has provided a positive update on his physical condition. The 60-year-old revealed in a new interview that thanks to hip and knee replacement surgeries and significant weight loss, he is moving around better now than he did fifteen years ago.
Speaking with the Kayfabe Friends Wrestling Podcast at the 2025 Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion, where he was honored with the “Iron” Mike Mazurki Award, Foley discussed his current health. “Not too bad all things considered,” Foley said. “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 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.”
Foley had been planning to come out of retirement for one final deathmatch to celebrate his 60th birthday, but he was forced to scrap those plans after suffering a concussion during light training. He suffered another concussion this past April in a scary car wreck, though he thankfully walked away from that incident mostly unscathed. The decision to call off the final match was a difficult one, but his health and well-being were the top priority.
