On a recent episode of the Steve Austin Show, the ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ answered some questions from listeners. One of these questions was who Austin wishes he could have wrestled during his career.

Austin says that he wishes he could have wrestled Hulk Hogan. Many fans thought WWE would go with Hulk vs Austin at Wrestlemania 18 but it didn’t happen. Hogan faced the Rock at the event and Austin wrestled Scott Hall.
Here is what Austin said about never facing Hogan:
“I gotta say Hulk Hogan. Because, one of the biggest draws in the history of the business. Everybody thought that match between ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan should have happened a couple years back and never did. Just for whatever reason, I didn’t feel like stepping back in the ring. I think Hogan was ready to go, but I wasn’t. And so, I never got a chance to wrestle that guy, and it would’ve been fun to be in the ring with him, because I was watching an old match on YouTube between Paul Orndorff and Hulk Hogan, and I watched how Hulk Hogan was down there on that mat and he was just selling his a** off. Paul Orndorff was just kicking the snot out of him, and then finally, finally, finally after all this heat, started making that trademark comeback… He started firing up that comeback, the people started going crazy, and I realized that guy wasn’t born on top, he worked his tail off to get to the top. So I’d say Hulk Hogan right off jump street.”

With the reaction that Hogan-Rock received, hard not to think that Austin-Hogan would have matched it as far as crowd reaction goes.
