The fact of the matter is Flair called Foley a glorified stuntman, because it's true. I love Foley, he's just about my favorite sports entertainer of all time. I used the term sports entertainer because Foley isn't really a wrestler, he's a guy that would punch and kick and run and act and give his body up, and in the prosess put on some good matches, but he was never reall a wrestler...
People like Flair, Race, Steamboat and Hart are wrestlers, Foley is just a guy with a willingness to get hurt. The reason Flair, and a lot of old time wrestlers, are bitter towards Foley, is because he gained more popularity for the sport then did Flair or Hart. The don't like the idea that people think of Foley as a wrestler. Flair thinks of himself as a wrestler first, and entertainer second, Foley wasn't that way, he knew he was an entertainer first.
