Hogan and Mick Foley, aka Mankind, had a tumultuous relationship since Hogan had rebuked Foley and blasted him out for his physique. This led to Foley and Hogan exchanging some barbs.

Mick Foley explains why he never disliked Hulk Hogan
Foley stated, ” I could never dislike Hulk Hogan because I remember Shane Douglas telling me that every single day, Hulk would be backstage with those Make-A-Wish kids. And they have never been happier in their life. I was like, I don’t care if he doesn’t have the style.”
It is commonly known that both Hogan and John Cena have made significant contributions to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In light of this fact, Foley has always admired him despite his career’s controversy. He notes that despite him being a decent man; he has made a few mistakes.

He added, “But I say what Hulk did with those children. And giving them one of the best moments of his life with those kids repeatedly, the same way John Cena did. Well, that’s Hulk Hogan for me. That man, imperfect like all of us.” In light of this, despite Hogan’s insults about him, Foley has no hatred toward him.
What was Hogan’s disparaging remark on Foley?
During his career, Foley was notorious for taking brutal strikes with ease and without bothering to consider how dangerous they were. He didn’t, however, have a Hogan-like physique. In light of this, Hollywood Hogan on the Landsberg Show said that Foley had never worked out as much as he did the previous week.
