Mick Foley is on the road to recovery today.
The WWE Hall of Famer and former Raw General Manager underwent successful hip surgery, posting on Facebook on Wednesday that the procedure was finished and he was recuperating with the aid of his daughter, Noelle, who was disguised as Buddy the Elf.
Here’s a link to the post:

Foley also posted the following on his Facebook page which reflected the beating he took over the course of his career as a hardcore legend.
My mind wrote a lot of checks during the course of my career – and more often than not, it was my right hip that paid the bill. I always realized there would be a price to pay for having the privilege of taking flight on so many occasions – and I have been paying that price for quite a few years. I had my right hip replaced on Wednesday, and I hope it is the game changer that so many claim it is. It certainly would be nice to lay down at night…or wake up in the morning without the constant reminder of all those checks I wrote in my younger days.
As it turns out, what I did was never flying – it was falling with style. But it’s funny how falling feels like flying..at least for a little while*
Thanks for all the kind words, prayers and well-wishes. They are much appreciated.
