He said, “I think I could have had (a good match with Hulk). Whenever I’m asked at the live shows who’s the one guy I wish I could have worked with. There’s two types of people in this world, Conrad. The type that admit it’s a big deal to be in the ring with Hogan, the type who pretend it isn’t and it was a big deal.”

Foley further stated how he had the opportunity to cut promos with Hogan and how great the experience was. He said, “I think, two promos, and it’s pretty awe-inspiring to be standing face to face with him.” 

Mick Foley would then express his disappointment of leaving TNA Impact a few months earlier. He claimed that he might have been booked in a match against Hogan if he had stuck with the promotion a few more months. Both these wrestling icons are now long retired. The duo is nursing injuries which they received during the peak of their career, and we wish all the best for their health in the future.
