Hogan would be willing to.....

[MikeRaw]

Despite what anyone says on the internet, that would be the biggest WM match of all time, especially with Hogan putting Austin over.
They are without a doubt the two biggest superstars of all time, in any promotion, period.
But it's really only worth it if Austin gets to win, because rally, we're all a little sick of Hogan.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Neither Hogan or Austin would job to a current star. I doubt Austin would comeback for one match and lose what would be his last match. His friend Mr. Kennedy would be the only who I might consider Austin would be willing to do so, and even that seems unlikely.

Hogan and jobbing on the same sentence, if not having "is not going to be" in the middle, certainly don't go together.

I'd rather have Austin vs Hogan in a No Holds Barred Match. Just the feel and the hype will make this match, and maybe, just maybe, this two can put out a surprisignly good match

I doubt Austin would comeback for one match and lose what would be his last match.

To be fair, aside from the bullshit, Austin really did lose his last real match at WM 19 against the Rock.

I know it's not very good but that's what five minutes of thought will get you.

Nah, s'all good.... What you suggested sounds workable... I figure anything featuring Austin (especially his first proper match in what 4 /5 years) would be lapped up by most fans... From there anything too complicated storyline-wise would probably detract from the angle....

I'd say your HOF jobber could/should be Steve Lombardi (aka The Brooklyn Brawler)... I'm guessing he's still on the payroll too.

I though ric flair was the biggest wrestler ever? xD, I'll like to see hogan vs austin at wm25, Middle Finger, Stunner...1..2..3.. Drink Beer.....Hell Yeah.

 

[Sparky]

Hogan Lose? i didnt even think that word was in his Vocabulary. Amazing he must be really broke. Personally i would much prefer Austin put over some new talent rather then bringing in Hogan.

What about Hogan/Rock 7 years ago? Back when they were two current wrestlers. I think the fact these two guys are so over the hill, it makes it less desirable. It would be a very poor match imo. Probably some good buildup though.

A hogan loss now really doesnt mean anything.

Some of you people...

First of all, if Austin vs. Hogan doesn't happen, it doesn't happen for one reason. Because Steve Austin is scared of Hulk Hogan. This isn't even debatable now. Hogan has tried and tried and tried to get Austin in a match at Wrestlemania, and Austin wants no part of Hogan. Most likely, because he's afraid that Hogan will completely outpop him, like Hogan did to Rock. So, if Austin vs. Hogan doesn't happen, blame Austin.

Second of all, if a match were to happen between these two, it would be completely epic. People are complaining about the match quality...you all are wrong. The match would be incredible. Everyone gushes over the piece of shit match that was Flair vs. HBK, only because of the hype/circumstance of Flair's retirement. If you thought that was a good match, then you can't POSSIBLY think that Austin vs. Hogan will not be. If it were to happen, then the match would be incredible, and anyone saying differently is wrong. Because match quality is not about a bunch of moves, it's about the story you can tell in the ring. And Hogan and Austin are two of the greatest ever at telling a story.

Finally, people who are FOOLISHLY saying that they'd rather see one of these guys put over a younger star...are you nuts? I mean seriously, have you been dropped on you head several times? Why would you rather watch Austin vs. *insert random midcarder here* instead of Austin vs. Hogan, the two biggest names in wrestling history? That's completely ridiculous. Quit trying to be a "smark", and be a reasonable fan instead. Austin vs. Hogan would trump ANYTHING we've seen in wrestling before, save perhaps Hogan vs. Andre. The match would be on the most historic of levels ever, and you'd rather watch Hogan vs. *insert random dipshit here*. Ridiculous.

It's big money but imo it's useless. Austin would be far better served in a match with a current star who could use a rub. And from what I understand he wouldn't have any issues doing it for the right guy.

LOL, this is a joke, right?

Austin isn't going to put anyone else over. We've seen that time and again from Austin. The only thing Steve Austin wants to do is come out, relive the glory days and get paid for it. People knock Hogan all the time for the same thing they get Austin a pass on.

Hogan and jobbing on the same sentence, if not having "is not going to be" in the middle, certainly don't go together.

Please.

Hogan's layed down for MORE than his fair share of stars. Just because he isn't going to lay down for guys who don't need or deserve it, doesn't mean he hasn't done it.

I guarantee you, that when you look at the people Hogan's put over clean on his way out of the business, compared to the number Austin has put over clean, it's no comparison.

Hogan WILL put over people...as long as it's the right person. And the right person is someone who deserves it, or someone who has earned it. And there are VERY few people who have earned a win over Hogan. And only a few that deserve it. And HBK and Orton don't belong in either category.

Hogan Lose? i didnt even think that word was in his Vocabulary. Amazing he must be really broke. Personally i would much prefer Austin put over some new talent rather then bringing in Hogan.

Again, you compare Hogan losses to Austin losses, and see what you get. Hell, remember the temper tantrum Austin had and no-showed the PPV against Coach (I believe it was Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday). Austin hates losing more than Hogan does, and hasn't earned half the right to do so.

Good post. I completely agree.

It would be quite embarrasing for Austin to be outpopped by Hogan in Austin's own home state. Which would likely happen.

 

[kingovkings]

Id like to see Austin/Hogan Granted they are both old and banged up now. And probs cant do what they did years ago. But the hype leading up to the match the atmosphere during the match will be H U G E. And for some (older) fans from way back lol will want to see these to in the ring together. Hogan will probably out pop Austin but so what Austin will get a huge pop too. I for one would be happy to see two of the biggest names in wrestling get it on at WM 25 H e l l y e a h !

 

[monkeystyle]

Really? The only times I can recall Austin not wanting to put people over were the nWo's run in WWE, in which case he turned out as being right because clearly the nWo was just a flash in the pan and him losing would've meant nothing. There's Jeff Jarrett, and really who can blame him? Jarrett is one of the most boring, overrated wrestlers on the planet who only won a world titles in a company during it's dying days and one that he owns. And finally there was Brock Lesnar. I recall Vince wanting Austin to do a random job for him on Raw, and Austin balked. Personally I believe Austin when he says that he'd do it with the right build up.

Beyond that there was no one Austin refused to put over. So I'm not quite sure where you're getting your facts from. Oh yeah, your ass.

The only thing Steve Austin wants to do is come out, relive the glory days and get paid for it.

I don't believe that is true either. I'm sure he has no problem doing so, but he's also said he feels he has one last match in him, and I cannot see the guy who did lose his last real match having any problem putting someone new over. Now I can't say for sure that's true, I don't know the guy, but apparently you do, or at the very least you know precisely what he's thinking.

People knock Hogan all the time for the same thing they get Austin a pass on.

lol, this is a joke right?

 

[Soulpower]

And finally there was Brock Lesnar. I recall Vince wanting Austin to do a random job for him on Raw, and Austin balked.

THIS! This is one of the main example people use to blast Austin. Vince wanted to have Lesnar and Austin be a throwaway match on RAW (With Lesnar winning), Austin wanted to build the match up properly, so that it would make Brock's win seem like a bigger deal.

Austin was right to walk away, because it was a stupid idea to just give away this match on free tv.

How about Taboo Tuesday 2005, where Jim Ross's job was on the line, and Austin no-showed?

I don't believe that is true either. I'm sure he has no problem doing so, but he's also said he feels he has one last match in him, and I cannot see the guy who did lose his last real match having any problem putting someone new over. Now I can't say for sure that's true, I don't know the guy, but apparently you do, or at the very least you know precisely what he's thinking.

Then how come the only time he makes appearances, it is to come up, give the finger, a stunner, and drink beer? When was the last time that Austin did ANYTHING meaningful for someone in the WWE?

The fact is, the only thing Austin does put the Stunner on current workers. Not ONCE does he even begin to put them over.

lol, this is a joke right?

Not at all. The list of names that Hogan has put over in his career is FAR greater than that of Austin's. And Hogan is a much bigger name than Steve Austin. But, when people talk about Hogan, it's always "he won't job", and yet, no one says that about Austin.

Hogan has put over MORE than his fair share of guys in wrestling, both in terms of laying down, and putting people over in a feud.

THIS! This is one of the main example people use to blast Austin. Vince wanted to have Lesnar and Austin be a throwaway match on RAW (With Lesnar winning), Austin wanted to build the match up properly, so that it would make Brock's win seem like a bigger deal.

Like I said, people give Austin a free pass for the same thing they bash Hogan for.



When it all comes down to it, the only reason we haven't seen this match is because Steve Austin is scared of Hulk Hogan. It can't be denied any longer.

 

[Ed_cena]

I Really think that Austin is more over than Hogan :S

 

[monkeystyle]

How about Taboo Tuesday 2005, where Jim Ross's job was on the line, and Austin no-showed?

Wait, you mean the one where they wanted him to lose to the Coach? Yeah, I don't blame him. And he made it clear that he wasn't going to work the event prior to it. Not on that very night.

Then how come the only time he makes appearances, it is to come up, give the finger, a stunner, and drink beer?

I'd do it too if they paid me and so would you. It's pretty much free money, I don't begrudge him that.

When was the last time that Austin did ANYTHING meaningful for someone in the WWE?

Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean anything. At this point Austin calls his own shots and maybe Vince has asked him to wrestle, but given the fact that Austin has clearly stated he has one match left in him, I can only conclude that if one was pitched, Austin doesn't feel it was worthwhile.

Not at all. The list of names that Hogan has put over in his career is FAR greater than that of Austin's. And Hogan is a much bigger name than Steve Austin. But, when people talk about Hogan, it's always "he won't job", and yet, no one says that about Austin.

Tell me who Hogan has legitimately put over and be objective about it.
