Mick Foley took to his Facebook page to post a lengthy defense of Seth Rollins and the claims that he is unsafe in the ring. Below are some of the highlights and key points.

On Sting’s Injury:

“I speculated that while the old adage “the legs are the first to go” for a boxer as he ages, that in pro-wrestling, it’s the muscles of the neck – so necessary for keeping the chin tucked firmly to the chest during landings – that may be the first to go. This could very well have been the reason why the Rolins turnbuckle bomb, used safely on hundreds of occasions, created a whiplash effect in the neck of Sting, 56 years old at the time of the match. In my opinion, the injury was not Seth’s fault, not Sting’s fault, or WWE’s fault; it simply may have been a case of trying to push back the hands of time a little too far, a little too fast” (Source: Mick Foley’s Facebook).

On Cena’s Injury:

“The broken nose to Cena was just an accident. I broke Goldust’s nose in WCW by accident, while Vader broke mine on purpose (at my request) a few months later. Goldust does not blame me, and I don’t blame Vader”  (Source: Mick Foley’s Facebook).

On Seth being unsafe:

“Sometimes, injuries just happen. It’s part of what we do. Seth Rollins is a safe wrestler. He works an intense, highly physical style, as do most of the WWE Superstars. Those moves look good for a reason; there’s a sense of realism to so many of them – a realism that is absolutely necessary in today’s day and age” (Source: Mick Foley’s Facebook).
