WWE<\/a> legend Mick Foley has suffered a concussion and feels lucky to still be ‘walking around’ after a horror car crash.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old Hall of Famer<\/a> has shared a photo of himself posing next to his car which looks totally wrecked with the front destroyed and windscreen smashed.<\/p>\n

‘TOUGH DAY FOR MICK,’ he wrote in a brief statement on Facebook<\/a> alongside the picture. ‘I have no idea how I am still walking around after this accident.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘I\u2019m in the hospital now, and I\u2019m sore from my knees to my neck, including a minor concussion.’<\/p>\n

Foley posed next to the wreckage on a field, with a fire engine visible in the background.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet known exactly how the crash happened, or if anyone else was involved.<\/p>\n

Foley, who hasn’t wrestled in over a decade since the 2012 Royal Rumble, has been open about the lasting impact of his daredevil style<\/a> in the ring.<\/p>\n

The so-called Hardcore Legend is famous for putting his health on the line countless times in the name of entertaining the fans, and he suffered numerous concussions throughout his career.<\/p>\n

His daughter Noelle recently admitted she always hated his I Quit Match with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and watching it was so traumatic that her brain has simply blocked out any memories of seeing her dad wrestle.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t have one singular memory of my dad ever wrestling. Part of me thinks because it was traumatic to me,’ she said on Dark Side of the Ring.<\/p>\n

‘How could these 11 shots change my dad’s health<\/a>? If you were to get 11 head shots, a normal person probably could have died. it’s sickening, honestly.’<\/p>\n
