Hulk Hogan is one man without whom the legacy of the pro wrestling industry remains incomplete. Apart from his jacked physique, his verbal skills have been ruling the hearts of many. However, there was one time when he got involved in a serious altercation with the WWE Hall Of Famer.
Mick Foley is another man matching the calibre of Hulk Hogan, which inevitably invited a verbal feud between the two. The Hulkster once dragged Foley into his conversation, saying that his training in the last week would probably exceed Mick Foley’s training in the last three decades. Hogan claimed himself to be superior to Mick Foley, who only used to eat and sleep while he worked out.
The Hulkamania is extremely proud of his workout routine and said, “I didn’t have to prosti**te my body and throw myself over the coals and into the fire and glass to make a dollar.” Instead, he chose to train himself and take another path. It was obvious that his words would not go well with Mick Foley and they actually didn’t.
What did Mick Foley say when Hulk Hogan degraded him with his comments?
Mick Foley seemed utterly disappointed with the insult hurled at him. Just like Hulk Hogan, Foley said that he had been in “deceptively good shape.” He pitched the audience to ask other stars, including The Rock, Shawn Micheals and Stone Cold Steve Austin, about his build. Mick claimed that they would agree about his good shape. “But for Hulk Hogan to say that, I think it is a lie, and I think it’s kind of cruel,” he said.
The HOF’er did not stop here and went ahead to diss his opponent. “I think if Hulk Hogan were to wrestle me in his career, he would sound like a whiney girl in a p*rno film, saying ‘not so fast and not so hard,’ ” he added, leaving the audience too stunned to speak.
That comeback from Mick Foley was brutal 💀

He went on and recalled the time when he was at Larry King’s show and the group was watching Hulk Hogan’s match. “It was embarrassing for me to be considered to be in that same profession as he was because his stuff was so obviously weak,” added Mick Foley.
The two stars took massive digs at their opponents almost two decades ago. However, the memory of it still stays fresh in the minds of many. Had the two gotten an opportunity for a faceoff, the match would have been an absolute classic. Despite sharing such a grave rivalry, Mick Foley respects the Hulkster for the charity work he does.
