8. Hulk Hogan Vs Steve Austin
Arguably the greatest match-up never to happen, thanks to the fan clamour that meets this question every time it is brought up, and the opportunity to see two sides of the American wrestling dream matched up against one another. Austin is the personified anti-hero, bristling with charisma and attitude, and capable of capturing the attention of the crowd through aggression, posturing and an iconic brawling style that matched the seedier underside of the American psyche. Facing off against Hogan, the model, flag-waving American idol, might represent some issues for the company, since they'd potentially lose a market in the process of declaring a winner, but the idea of a battle between the rebel incarnate and the traditional company man would be incredible. Both men are credited with saving the WWE, and the conclusion would have arguably the biggest results, though of course the substance of the fight would be just as appealing. The pair are both brawlers, and though technicals might not be the highest draw of the match-up, their styles are arguably more appealing to a crowd looking for authenticity.
Who Should Win? Austin It's almost too close to call, but Austin's willingness to break the rules would probably lead to victory, while also reinforcing Hulk's good guy image and arguably not costing him too much in terms of his image and appeal.
