10 Biggest Stone Cold Steve Austin "What Ifs" In WWE

10. What If The Hogan Match Happened?

It's the image that defined Wrestlemania X8, The Rock, WWE's iconic heel, staring down Hollywood Hulk Hogan the leader of the WCW's villainous faction, the NWO. For as great as an image as it was though, it wasn't quite right. Many fans, even those caught up in the euphoria of Toronto's Skydome knew what the match should have been, the face of WWE through the late 90s, versus WCW's signature heel, Stone Cold vs Hulk Hogan.

Thematically it could not have been more appropriate, but WWE and WCW's respective war heroes simply could not agree on an outcome, leaving Hogan to instead work with The Rock, while Austin settled for Scott Hall.

While the match that fans got was brilliant and show-stealing, leading to a famous double-turn with Hogan embracing the love and Rocky going back to heel-mode, could it have been even better?

Perhaps Austin's overpowering face energy would have prevented the double-turn from happening altogether. Even more intriguing is where the Rock goes, who could face Scott Hall, but also was a big enough star to be involved in X8's main event.

Unfortunately though, thanks to Austin's persistent neck issues and Hogan's age, this match will stay a dream to many fans.
