Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan Becomes One of the Greatest “What If?” Matches in WWE history. The duo wrestled only once when both were in WWE in the early 2000s via a tag team match involving The Rock, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall on Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania X8. Austin went on to wrestle Scott Hall at that event, while he faced Rock Hogan in a clash of icons. Both sides talked about why the match never went well and Jim Ross gave his perspective on the situation last time Shui JR Audio notation. He explained that Austin was wary about working with Hogan after seeing how “The Hulkster” worked with The Undertaker in Judgment Day in May 2002.
“Austin didn’t have a match with Hogan because he didn’t want to have the Undertaker match,” Ross said.h/t Wrestling Inc.). “Hogan has been hit, beaten, and had multiple back surgeries. It’s funny when people say ‘What are the really important things to learn in professional wrestling training?’” Well, you have to learn to take a nice flat back bump because about 98% of the things you see end up with a flat back bump. So, you’re able to do a flat back bump, which sounds very simple, and it is, but a lot of guys don’t spend time in That said, they’d rather spend more time on Tope Suicidas and s – like this rather than how to sell or how to get a firm back.”
Austin confessed to Steve Austin Show Back in 2019 he regretted not playing Hogan’s match. He said at the time, “I was in such a different void when we had the same window of opportunity. Sometimes I kick myself in the ass. I was so confused at the end and I was in a bad place. It never should have happened. I think if we could Entering a room, you and I, and we just talked. [When you came to WCW]I remember, I’m coming, and here comes the biggest attraction in WCW’s working history and I’m thinking, “Wow, here comes the most important attraction and now I’m second on the ladder.”
“I’ve always had this grudge against you because you were the man,” he continued. “How am I going to get over [you] When I can’t even get past the status of the intermediate card? It was a competitive grudge. [When you came back to WWE]If we’ve ever entered a room before, we’ve probably worked together. This is one of the biggest regrets of my career outside of not appearing in front of Brooke [Lesnar]. I wish I could work with you on a show.”
