Read Wrestler Mick Foley's Heartfelt Tribute To The City Of Orlando
Former pro wrestler Mick Foley has paid an emotional tribute to the city of Orlando following a chance encounter with a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting.
In a heartfelt Facebook post, the semi-retired sportsman — now a best-selling author, actor and comedian — revealed that he hadn’t been sure what to expect when visiting the city on business this week.
“I wondered if I could ever find joy in the theme park capital of the world again,” Foley wrote on Saturday.
Read his full tribute here:
But Foley ended up attending a memorial for the victims after randomly bumping into Christopher Hansen, a survivor of the massacre, at his hotel.
“And in doing so instantly connected to something bigger than myself; a sense of community and spirit of healing,” he wrote.
Foley, who went by a slew of aliases during his decades-long career in the ring — including “Cactus Jack” and “Mankind” — wrote that in the wake of the horrific June 12 shooting, where a gunman killed 49 people, he “won’t ever be able to look at Orlando the same way again.”
To him, it will never again simply be “the theme park capital of the world.”
“Instead, I will look at Orlando as the place that took the very worst that hate could dish out — and bested it through the sheer force of love,” he wrote. “It’s a city that refused to be defined by the formidable forces of intolerance, ignorance and fear — and instead chose a path of acceptance, inclusion and understanding.”

James Foley's Mother Speaks Out: "We Have Never Been Prouder of Our Son"
The mother of American photojournalist James Foley—reportedly the topic of a brutal beheading video released today by the militant group ISIS—spoke out Tuesday evening to praise her son and request mercy for the remaining hostages.
Foley’s mother, Diane, posted the message on the “Free James Foley” Facebook page around 9:30 pm.
We have in no way been prouder of our son Jim. He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian folks.
We implore the kidnappers to spare the lives of the remaining hostages. Like Jim, they are innocents. They have no control over American government policy in Iraq, Syria or anywhere in the planet.
We thank Jim for all the joy he gave us. He was an extraordinary son, brother, journalist and individual. Please respect our privacy in the days ahead as we mourn and cherish Jim.
US officials have not however confirmed the authenticity of the video.
A National Safety Council spokeswoman stated in a statement that, “The intelligence neighborhood is functioning as speedily as feasible to establish its authenticity. If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family members and friends. We will give more details when it is available.”
