10 Dream Steve Austin WWE WrestleMania Matches We'd Rather See

10. Hulk Hogan

Balk/throw pitchforks at the writer penning this piece.

Is anyone suggesting that Hulk Hogan is the ideal opponent for Austin in 2022? To quasi-butcher the man's catchphrase, hell no. Hulk couldn't physically do it, and it's hardly like 'Stone Cold' will be working like he did in his prime either if he does return.

Still, this is very much 'one that got away' for wrestling fans. WWE fancied doing it back when Hogan returned to the company in 2002, but Steve was in a different place mentally at the time and wasn't sold. So, two of the biggest megastars in industry history have yet to lock up mid-ring.

Note the "dream match" idea being presented here. Austin vs. Hogan would qualify as one of those, and that's true regardless of individual thoughts about Hulk. Vince McMahon would bloody love to have this box office smash on his hands these days.

Put those pitchforks away, please.
