Hulk Hogan Strongly Disagrees Steve Austin Was a Bigger Legend Than Him

Hulk Hogan continues to grab the headlines going into SummerSlam this weekend — after upsetting the wife of the Ultimate Warrior, Dana, after playing up the backstage reconciliation with Warrior at WrestleMania 30, despite failing to reach out his family after he died, Hogan has implied “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is delusional if he thinks he was a bigger legend than the Hulkster. In a Q&A session with Yahoo Sports, Hogan had the following to say on Austin’s comments:

 


 

“I think that’s in his own mind. My career was twice as long as his. I’ve been a main eventer since 1978 when we sold out Shea Stadium. I just totally disagree with him. I know he had a good run when he was in the Attitude Era. I don’t know how long the Attitude Era was — four years, eight years — I don’t know how long it was. That’s where we totally disagree. Maybe he and I should lock up and figure this thing out. That would be a nice match.”

Hogan, who also seems to be angling for an in-ring return, threw out the name of John Cena as someone he’d like to potentially wrestle:

“Well, things have straightened out really well for me after nine back surgeries. Doctor would say in four months you will feel OK or six months you will feel OK … well that’s not true. After these back surgeries, it takes your body awhile to regroup, especially when you’re 60 years young. It’s not like you’re 21. So, the back is cool. If I had to wrestle anyone right now on the current roster, it would be John Cena. That would be a dream match for me.”

On WrestleMania 30, Hogan also claimed The Rock and Steve Austin’s appearances were news to him:

“They do things at WWE sometimes because I’m what they call a “veteran.” Vince [McMahon] trusts me and he doesn’t let me in on all the secrets like at WrestleMania XXX when I’m out in the ring and here comes The Rock and Stone Cold [Steve Austin]. It could have been an explosive situation. I didn’t know what these two were up to, but Vince thought that was really, really funny.”
