During a recent episode of Foley Is Pod, Mick Foley talked about refusing to take a chair shot while he was co-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live. The middle of the chair would have been gimmicked to hit him, but the rim of the chair would not have been. Foley cites the rim of the chair, the inexperience of the unnamed person planning to hit him, and being busted open by Terry Funk, an experienced wrestler, under the same circumstance. Foley co-hosted five episodes of the show in 2005.

Foley has had some extreme moments. Check out some of what he has done in the ring:

Opinion: I can’t say I blame Foley for not wanting to take that kind of a chair shot in this situation. If something goes wrong, he has a medical issue to deal with and that isn’t something that needs to happen. No one is going to question Foley’s toughness in wrestling but there is a difference between being tough and being dangerous without needing to be in the first place.
