In an interview with Kayfabe Friends Commentary, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley discussed various topics, including his health, stating that he walks better today than he did fifteen years ago.
This is what Mick Foley said, “Not too bad all things considered. 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 would say. 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.”
On donating to the Cauliflower Alley Club:
“I think if you would have polled a lot of the guys in the business, you know, the old-timers, as to how I’d be doing at age 60 — I don’t think they’d tell you that I would be getting around as well as I am. So I feel really fortunate. I feel like I want to give back.”
On getting the Mike Mazurki Award:
“I’m so grateful because I know my style wasn’t for everybody, but somehow I’ve been accepted and respected by different generations. And I’m really grateful for that. You know, that I can walk around at age 60 — I wear a title belt as a fanny pack as of a week ago. And I get to walk around in sweatpants and no socks because people out there made that a reality for me. Not only by supporting me when I was wrestling, but in conventions and doing my thing on the one-man shows. The older I get, the more grateful I’ve become.”
