Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Hulk Hogan
I know this is often debated when people say it was originally for Austin. Others say it was originally for The Rock. Well this article clears it up it was originally for Austin.
From wwe.com
When Hulk Hogan returned to WWE under the black and white colors of the nWo in 2002, fans began to salivate at the thought of The Immortal One finally clashing with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Each competitor represented distinct eras in the historic timeline of WWE Hogan as the driving force behind WWEs 1980s pop culture boom and Austin as the brash mouthpiece of the uncensored Attitude Era. They were the two most important Superstars of WWEs two most important periods and it was a clear match made in heaven. But it never happened.He was open to having a match, me not so much, Austin said on a recent episode of WWE Hall of Famer Jim Rosss podcast. I thought the styles would clash. I didnt think it would be that great of a match. With The Texas Rattlesnake unwilling to agree to the bout, The Hulkster ended up facing off against The Rock in a now legendary encounter at WrestleMania X8. But that bout, billed as Icon vs. Icon, could have easily featured The Texas Rattlesnake instead.I guarantee you, if my head had been at a little different place, then by all rights, a [match] should have happened, Austin told JR. Physically and mentally where I was at, I could go. I think Hogan probably would have been a step or two behind that. That wasnt acceptable to me, and I didnt want to slow myself down. I say that with all due respect to Hulk Hogan, because he had a hellacious run. That was my thought process back in the day. I didnt think we could deliver.
