Mick Foley To Donate Proceeds From Upcoming Show To Joe Doering

IMPACT

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has announced that all of the proceeds from his upcoming comedy show will be donated to IMPACT Wrestling star Joe Doering.

Doering recently announced that he’s stepping away from the ring after being diagnosed with brain cancer for the second time

On Twitter, Foley noted that his December 4 show at the WC Social Club in West Chicago will be a fundraiser for Doering, writing:

A SHOW FOR BIG JOE!

I’m happy to announce that 100% of my proceeds from my DECEMBER 4 event in #WestChicago will go directly to @IMPACTWRESTLING star Joe Doering to help him as he battles brain cancer.

RT’s appreciated! http://realmickfoley.com/events

Foley recently sent a message of support to Doering over social media, sharing a link to Doering’s ‘Keep Calm and Kick Ass’ t-shirt. All proceeds from this shirt will also go to Doering.

Following Doering’s announcement, IMPACT Wrestling shared the following:

IMPACT Wrestling star Joe Doering is stepping away from competition to take care of his health. The 40-year-old battled brain cancer six years ago and, at last weekend’s taping at The Factory in Dallas, he informed IMPACT Wrestling management that the disease has returned.

Joe will be undergoing surgery in the coming weeks.

He said: “They told me in 2016 that I would never wrestle again, and I proved them wrong. Guess I’m going to have to do it again. I try to not get too sad or emotional about it. Staying positive really helped me the first time, and that’s what I’ll do again.”

After successful treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in 2016, the 6-foot, 5-inch wrestler was back in the ring within a year. Although that recovery was remarkable, Joe was informed by his doctors the disease could return and that he should remain vigilant.

The two-time IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Champion added: “Please keep me in your thoughts and spirits. I hope to get back in the ring again very soon. To the IMPACT Wrestling locker room: you are family to me and I look forward to seeing you again very, very soon.”

Scott D’Amore, IMPACT Wrestling Executive Vice President, said: “I know our fans and the wider wrestling community will join everyone at IMPACT in keeping Joe and his wife Lindsay in their thoughts and prayers. Joe loves pro wrestling and we all look forward to him returning to action when he’s ready.”

Doering last wrestled for IMPACT during the August 13 TV taping.

We continue to wish Joe Doering a safe and healthy recovery.
