WWE Attitude Era legend Mick Foley is often regarded as one of the most brilliant hardcore wrestlers of all time. The Hardcore Legend has entertained his fans over several years and remains equally popular. He is often remembered for his spot in the Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker at the 1998 King of the Ring. Moreover, Foley is also known by several names, such as Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love.

Hulk Hogan, on the other hand, was the top star and face of the company during his era. Hogan made his debut in WWF back in 1979 and stayed at the company for a one-year stint. He then returned in 1983 when he rose to his prominence. Also stated as one of the fittest wrestlers during his time, Hogan did showcase an impressive physique.

An old video resurfaced recently, where Hogan appeared on TSN off the Record with Michael Landsberg and flexed his physique while body shaming Mick Foley for his choice of staying at home instead of training.

In the video Hogan says, “I would probably say, I trained more in last week than Mick Foley has trained in 30 years.” He further said, “You know, I went ahead while Mick Foley was sleeping and eat cheeseburgers and M&Ms while I was in the gym working out for 2 hours a day, working out for 30 years.”

This statement was not well received by Mick Foley when he appeared at the show at a later point in time. He was bothered and hurt by Hulk Hogan‘s statement. Foley stated that he was more hurt, not by what Hogan said but by the tone in which Hogan said it.

Foley further stated how he thought the whole situation to be a result of his book ranking higher than Hogans. He said, “I am hoping that he was taking out some of that frustration on me. I would like to think that he thinks higher of me than that in reality.”

Foley, however, had a very interesting approach to the whole scenario.He responded, “If Hulk Hogan were to have wrestled me in his career, then he would sound more less like a whiny girl in a porno film, saying, ‘Not so fast and not so hard’ because he didn’t like the contact.”

Although both Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan are one of the greatest of their era, Foley was undoubtedly hurt by Hogan’s statements and he made sure he makes it known to the host.

Though things have now changed, and both the wrestlers respect each other. Mick Foley in his recent podcast spoke highly of Hogan but insisted on the fact that though Hulk is a good guy, he has spoken a few bad words.
