Stone Cold Steve Austin recalls back so many memories for so many people. Stone Cold had lots of great WrestleMania moments that will go down in history as some of the greatest ‘Mania moments ever. Stone Cold could have had one more huge ‘Mania moment as well.
On the recent After The Bell podcast, Hulk Hogan opened up and stated that his “goal” after feuding with The Rock was to face Stone Cold Steve Austin and put over The Texas Rattlesnake. While that looks great on paper, do Hogan’s personality and Stone Cold’s really mix well? You be the judge on that one.
Hogan stated: “My whole goal was to have that run with The Rock and then focus on Stone Cold. Because, as a heel, I could’ve put him over everywhere. If they could’ve put the belt back on me, he could’ve chased me – and like Stone Cold says, ‘If there’s money to be made, let’s make it, brother.’
Hulk Hogan continued: “That was my goal. It was to get him in that Hulk Hogan zone and make him realize – he’d been beat up pretty bad with his neck and a bunch of stuff – I just wanted him to realize the way you go to the ring, the way you feel, was the same way you’re going to feel after working with me on the way back. It’s going to be nice and easy, but we’re going to tear the house down.”
