10 Wrestlers Most Likely To Be Steve Austin's WWE WrestleMania 39 Opponent
10. John Cena
It was thought for a time that WWE would never be able to replicate the magic that was Icon Vs. Icon: the Rock and Hollywood Hogan's masterpiece at WrestleMania X8.
Bathed in noise before either man did anything but stare at the fans and soak in the awe-struck reaction, watching the Rock's eye tremble with nervy anxiety was something else. The most powerful strain of nostalgia had flapped the unflappable.
And then he instantly rewrote the script and the purest of magic was cast: luxurious, timeless, simple pro wrestling of the grandest magnitude. Half of it looked like sh*t, realistically, but you looked past it and rode the feeling.
WWE has the opportunity to bottle the lightning because Steve Austin and John Cena are the other two era-defining megastars who were never meant to wrestle.
Is it a waste of a different opportunity? Should WWE book Austin and Cena - if he's available - in different matches, thus allowing emerging talent an enormous platform?
Neither Austin nor Cena needed such a dream match to get over because that isn't how talents get over. It's a showcase, not necessarily a career-making moment.
So why not make the ultimate WrestleMania Moment instead?
