I also think of ANY of us were put under a microscope, even as a Z-list celebrity people would hear about things we didn't want them to... especially if we had millions of dollars and lived that lifestyle. He did put himself into the reality show stuff etc., but the guy was trying to use his leverage to help his daughter get a music career (even though that wasn't going to happen) and any father is going to defend their son and ultimately love them... even if they kill or paralyze someone in an accident. His kid is a DJ now and does alright seemingly, they kind of grew up around entertainment. He does put himself out there however - he makes money doing so.
All the crap we talk, any wrestling fan would mark out to meet or see Hulk Hogan live. My roommate has only been watching wrestling for about a year on a regular basis and actually really liked a main event Hogan had vs. Sting years ago... and the match wasn't high spots and the stuff he's used to watching. It was slow paced and punches/standard moves/weak looking big boots. He was still entertained.
I know he is old and has racked up injuries, but look at Flair and Sting. Hulk Hogan is still a big muscular dude, probably more so than recent years. I wouldn't want him to get hurt but he could be carried in a match and use punches and a body slam. It isn't an insane concept. Just unlikely.
Stone Cold has also said he hasn't spoken to Hogan since the 2k15 roster unveiling, and that he is just trying to stir up another match on social media and Austin has no intentions of wrestling at this stage in his life - and if he did I highly doubt it would be Hogan.
