Mick Foley Comments on Sting’s Injury in Latest Facebook Post

Mick Foley has taken to his Facebook page to write about the injury Sting sustained during his match against Seth Rollins at WWE “Night of Champions” this past Sunday.

During the match against Rollins, Sting was legitimately injured following a Turnbuckle Powerbomb, ultimately leading to his defeat where he was unable to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Many superstars and fans alike were wondering what Sting’s condition must be, with the “Hardcore Legend” talking about this in detail in his latest Facebook post:

GET WELL STING

It’s an old adage in boxing: the legs are the first to go. Well, in wrestling, the neck may not be far behind. My son asked me about Sting’s injury – how something like a turnbuckle bomb, that so many wrestlers have shrugged off, could be the move that ends Sting’s career I thought about it for a while, and also thought about how many ordinary moves taken late in my career – moves that would not have phased me when I was younger – ended up in injury; concussions that took days, weeks, or even months to rebound from. It may just be, that as we age, we lose the neck strength necessary to keep our chins talked firmly to our chests, in a way that protects us from whiplash like injuries – be it on the turnbuckle, or on the mat. Hopefully, doctors and scientists who study neck and brain injuries, will take a look into this, so that injuries like the one to Sting on Sunday can be prevented . I don’t think anyone is at fault here: not Sting, not Seth Rollins, not WWE But I do think we need to address the reasons why older wrestlers are getting hurt more frequently, doing the same moves they bounced back from easily in younger years.
