As noted, WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley wrote a blog on social media this week informing fans that he needed hip replacement surgery that because he is currently without insurance, would cost $60,000 to pay for out-of-pocket.
The current WWE RAW General Manager asked that fans not donate to any campaigns, however one particular Go Fund Me campaign was started and was up to $600 before all of the money was refunded to the respective donators and the campaign itself was closed down.
Foley addressed the Go Fund Me campaign on Twitter after it was closed down. “The Hardcore Legend” wrote the following tweets about the topic:
Thanks to everyone for their concern, but PLEASE don’t set up any fund-raising sites for my hip. Donate to groups who truly need the help.

I know Abby, the lady who set up a fund for my hip replacement means well. But please don’t donate any money to any funds for my me. Thanks.
