15 Off Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

3. Stone Cold & Hulk Hogan (Briefly) Go At It

Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan never had that one-on-one dream match that would've done monster business on pay-per-view. Fans weren't the only ones left disappointed by this: WWE were too. Years after Austin retired, the company produced a 'what if' video package to hype such a match.

Hidden in there was one of the few times both legends interacted in a WWE ring.

In 2002, after Raw went off the air, Austin ran in to smash Hulk with a sudden Stunner. There's something mind-blowing about this for fans of a certain age; Hogan was in his old red and yellow gear, meaning this was one of the few, or maybe the only, times that classic Hulkamania and Stone Cold got physical.

OK, we're bending the rules of this article a little to show this, but it's worth it. WWE kept this Stunner secret for years before slyly putting it in one of their hype vids.
