10 Wrestlers Who Ruined Their Bodies For The Business
2. Mick Foley
The back of Mick Foley's 'Have A Nice Day' book detailed the eye-popping list of broken bones, torn muscles and general injuries the then-Mankind had experienced as a wrestler. It must be seen to be believed, but it isn't an updated version - ol' Mick suffered a few more painful moments before retiring for good.
Foley has been called a "glorified stuntman" by peers like Ric Flair, had his physique bashed by top stars like Hulk Hogan, and even been told to just f*cking calm it a bit by bosses like Vince McMahon over the years. Despite all of it, Mick worked on his own terms, and became a legend to fans for that dedication.
His body is in tatters mind.
Mick still hasn't sorted out every physical problem that reminds him every single day of the bumps he sustained. Hip replacements, various surgeries and more will never top anyone's amazement that Foley still puts one foot in front of the other!
