Mick Foley posted a new video on his YouTube channel, updating fans on his weight loss journey.
In February 2024, Foley said that he was thinking about doing one more match, as it would be a good incentive to lose weight. Unfortunately, Foley suffered a concussion while training and decided against one more match.
"I weighed in a 360 and I was looking to get down to 280 by June 7th and do a death match on my 60th birthday. Unfortunately, training a little bit in the ring, I got a slight concussion and I thought, 'If I got a concussion from that little bit that I did, what I plan do to in the deathmatch would likely kill me.' It wouldn't likely kill me, but I thought there was a great liklehood that if I were to drop the elbow that I always wanted to drop, off a TV truck onto the hood of a car, it seriously could undo all the benefits of having my hip replacement, and that's been a game changer for me. The hip and knee. I thought, 'I don't want to take that chance of feeling numb and having a serious concussion or losing the ability to walk away without discomfort,' which the hip replacement really helped. I started to gain weight because no matter how much weight I gained, I still felt so much better than I had," said Foley.
In March 2024, Foley weighed 360 pounds, and his all-time high was 377 pounds. He goal was to hit 280 pounds by June 7th, his 60th birthday.
Foley weighed in at 279 pounds in the video.
He credited healthier eating, working out by doing DDP Yoga and swimming, and "cheating" for his weight loss, noting that a doctor suggested he use Wegovy, and he took that advice.
"I couldn't walk up a slight incline getting off my plane without having to sit down for 5 or 10 minutes. I thought, 'I'm a heart attack waiting to happen.' If I need a little help, I should take that and say I'm not going to do it all on my own and greatly reduce my chances of doing it," he said.
Foley said he felt good after doing the Nightmare Rumble at OVW.
"I wouldn't say I'm not entering the Royal Rumble, but I'm not entering the Royal Rumble. That's a pretty big leap," he said.
At the end of the video, Foley received a phone call and teased that it was from Triple H wanting to talk to him about appearing in the Royal Rumble.
