Hulk Hogan vs. Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 25? Options

[SJN1279]

Is there a bigger match for perhaps the biggest Wrestling show of all time? I think it could finally happen.

Jim Ross recently participated in an interview with Bubba The Love Sponge. Below is a highlight recap originally posted by a reader named Jim at PWInsider.com:

Bubba asked if JR thought Hogan and Vince could make up and do something for WM 25. This began a long discussion about a Steve Austin vs. Hogan match at WM 25. JR said he didn't think it would happen, but would like to see it. JR suggested a finish in which at the end of the match Miz & Morrison would run in, cause the double DQ, get beat down by Hogan and Austin, and then Hogan and Austin would drink a beer.

- Shortly after that Hogan called in. Hogan and JR exchanged pleasantries and then Hogan went on to tell JR that he didn't like his proposed finish to the match. He said that a match of that magnitude and historical significance needed a definite finish for the fans. Hogan went on to say he would have no problem putting over Steve if the match took place.

- Bubba wondered how much trouble JR would get into for talking to Hogan because of his relationship with CCW.

- Bubba said he is going to try to get Steve Austin on the show and had his producer put in a request with WWE to get Vince on the show in an effort to put this match together.

I read earlier today about Hogan saying he'd face Stone Cold, win or lose. And that surprised me, the way Hogan never seems to wrestle unless he'll be the winner. I'm all for the match.

People forget that in WCW Hogan used to lose all the time. Also when he returned to the WWE in 2002, he strongly put over: The Rock, Kurt Angle, and Brock Lesnar. The Hulkster has done his share of jobs in his career, but if he didn't put his foot down from time to time, Vince would have taken advantage of him.

If this match happens in Texas, I think Hulk needs to wear his Hollywood colors because he will be the heel in Austin's homestate.

JR just said recently that apparently Austin is never going to wrestle again, doesn't want to risk the physical damage it could do to him ... rings even more true if you put him in the ring with Hogan who can barely move himself let alone work safely with someone else.

How much damage could Austin take in this match? All he has to do is survive a leg drop, cause that's the only move Hogan knows how to do.
