WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather is speaking out for following the terrifying car crash that left his truck totaled—but miraculously left him without a single scratch.

After initially posting a photo of the wrecked vehicle on Facebook, The Godfather followed up with a video to personally assure fans he’s doing just fine. In the clip, he explained that the accident happened in West Virginia during bad weather conditions.

“Hey guys, I just want everybody to know that I’m OK. I came out of this without a scratch. It’s just really bad weather here in West Virginia. We started hydroplaning. I wasn’t driving, but we started hydroplaning and went into a three truck roll. But it’s going to take more than that to take me out. But thank you everybody for the concern. I just want to let everybody know I’m OK and I’m still smoking.”

His calm demeanor and signature attitude helped ease the nerves of fans who were understandably shaken by the severity of the crash. The original post showing the demolished Ram had already generated massive concern, with many fearing the worst.

“I definitely believe in the safety of the Ram. Rolled three times and both of us walked away without a scratch.”

This update comes on the heels of another recent car accident involving former WWE star Nixon Newell, who revealed she had to step away from wrestling after a wreck of her own. Both stories serve as reminders that no one is immune from life’s unexpected turns—even wrestling legends.

The Godfather’s message makes it clear: he’s still standing, still grateful, and still himself.
