To answer the question of the OP who cares if this is good for tnA or not. This match would not happen in front on 500 people in the impact zone. This match would not take place in tna period! Are you serious? Did you actually think hogan was talking about this taking place in tna? Hogan damn well knows that this match can only take place in the big leagues and probably on the grandest stage of them all. So who cares what tna thinks. Will this match ever happen? Probably not. I would like to see it though. It obviously won't be the most technically sound match. Neither man has been known to be technical though.
Exactly right, I will admit that the Stone Cold Stunner is obviously a lot more volatile and fancier looking of a finishing maneuver. But let's be honest here, honest Thesz Press, closed fists and Austin's elbow drops are right up there with the big boot, powerslam, second rope 10 punch and clothesline. Both men are formulaic it's their personas that supersede their wrestling talent first and foremost. So let's not kid ourselves and say that Steve Austin doesn't have a pattern either.
But it would attract a lot of attention, IF DONE RIGHT. we know wwe as of late has been known to mess these situations up pretty good. Just look at Bret/Vince.
That's what would count, and let's be honest, I don't care what people said about the Bret Hart feel good comeback, there was a lot of time wasted in having him wrestle even in the capacity that he had. Again I said it in other posts, Bret Hart had his physical retaliation years ago in Montreal, there could have been a better storyline to have him get revenge on Vince, just my opinion. But bottom line is no one seemed to bitch when Bret Hart was main eventing (albeit tag team matches mostly) on RAW and PPVs but Hogan a guy who hasn't wrestled in quite some time seems to get a rise out of people just because he says this or that. Again gotta love the double standards. Because let's be honest, what really was the point of Bret Hart beating The Miz for the United States Championship? Seriously now...like we really needed to see that, right?
And to the above poster, so what if hogan jobs to Austin? if the payday is good I don't think even hogan would care. That's business. And at this point I don't think the fans would wanna see the fossil hogan dropping the immortal leg drop and getting the 1 2 3.
Now this is someone who has hit the nail on the head here. Let's put it this way people, I love how people want to pull the politicking card with Hogan every time he came back to WWE to wrestle. The bottom line is this, those who think that are dismissing Vince McMahon's business savvy. You folks by buying into all the rumor bullshit hoopla are basically telling me and other posters that you don't think Vince has control over his promotion. If Hogan lost to The Rock, Triple H and Kurt Angle...I can't see why he wouldn't have ever lost to Austin either.
It's as simple as this people, Vince knows that Hogan should only lose when it matters. I.e. (The Rock, Triple H, Lesnar, Angle - all fairly I might add). Do I think it was a disappointment that Randy Orton did not win at SummerSlam 2006, you're damn right. But his career is more than alive, Hulk Hogan did not BURY him. Then as far as Shawn Michaels goes, well let's put it this way, they were both legends in that match, and as much as I like HBK...it just wasn't to be for him to win.
But then again maybe just maybe Hogan has some voodoo curse over Vince. Who knows crazier things could happen right? But on a serious note, for those that want the mega star match with two young and relatively healthy performers...just remember April 1, 2012 when we have The Rock and John Cena go at it. Despite my feelings on John Cena, you can't doubt how intense he is in that ring and with the Rock making his comeback for that event it's going to be something to see.
