Noelle, Mick Foley’s second-oldest child, dreamed of becoming a wrestler, but a concussion ended her dreams in the early days.
Mick Foley may not have been as popular as other big names from the Attitude Era, like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin or The Rock, but he was still one of the most influential figures of that time.
Highlights
- While Noelle always dreamed of becoming a wrestler, she revealed on social media that she’s been struggling with Craniocervical Instability.
- This condition was caused when Noelle tore nearly ten ligaments during a theme park ride, which sometimes made her head feel unstable.
- Her eldest brother, Dewey Foley, was also interested in wrestling, but instead of performing, he wanted to work behind the scenes.
Mick Foley has been married to his wife, Colette Christie, since 1992.
They hit it off and decided to spend their lives together, and now they have four children: Dewey, Noelle, Michael, and Hughie.
The entire Foley family and Frank the Clown appeared in the Holy Foley documentary, highlighting Noelle and Dewey’s attempts to break into the wrestling world.
While Riding The Mystery Mine Coaster At Dollywood, Noelle Suffered with Craniocervical Instability
Noelle Margaret Foley, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, was born on December 15, 1993, making her 30 year-old.
She’s an actress who has appeared in shows like WWE RAW, Ring in the Holiday, Wrestling with Wregret, and more.
Noelle also featured in her father’s TV series, Holy Foley.
While she’s always dreamed of following in her dad’s footsteps and becoming a wrestler, she recently revealed on social media that she’s been struggling with Craniocervical Instability.
This condition was caused when she tore nearly ten ligaments during a theme park ride, which sometimes made her head feel unstable.
Noelle explained in a blog post for Concussionfoundation.org that she suffered a concussion after repeatedly hitting her head against the headrest during a roller coaster ride.
In a 2022 social media post, she shared that the incident occurred on September 11, 2019, while riding the Mystery Mine coaster at Dollywood.
“Today marks three years since my concussion. Three whole years, like that, doesn’t even seem real. I’ve never made this public before, but on September 11, 2019, at approximately 1:15 p.m, I got my concussion on the Mystery Mine coaster at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I never thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to get an injury and ruin myself on this roller coaster.’ I can’t do any of the things that I once loved. All of the things I once loved just cause me pain. I just truly hope that Dollywood and Dolly can do something. Just to make things right and to make sure that nothing like this happens to anyone ever again at their park.”

As a result of the injury, Noelle was also diagnosed with hyperacusis, a condition that makes her more sensitive to sounds than usual.
Outside of acting, Noelle enjoys pop culture, travel, and food.

At the same time, she isn’t stepping away from wrestling, as she is dating Frank the Clown, a well-known wrestling manager.
Only Noelle’s Elder Brother Was Into Wrestling Facet For A Few Years
Her eldest brother, Dewey Foley, was also interested in wrestling, but instead of performing, he wanted to work behind the scenes.
He eventually became part of WWE’s creative team and contributed to the 205 Live brand and NXT till 2022.
