Hulk Hogan had a recent radio interview with The Roz and Mocha Show, and he had this to say in regards to why he never locked horns with Steve Austin: When I came back with the NWO in 05 I was ready to go, and it didnt happen. I know he had some health issues and stuff like that, but whats the problem now brother? Okay, first of all Hogan, it was 2002 when the NWO returned, not 2005! And whats the problem now? Well, despite the fact that youre 61-years-old, with a horrible back, who cant safely hit his own finisher, and that Steve Austin is 49, has neck problems, and hasnt had a full-fledged match in over 11 years...well, besides that I see nothing wrong with it. Hogan has been lobbying for another match for months, but its starting to reek of desperation. He was calling out Brock recently, and now wants Austin. Yes, it would be kind of nice for him to have a true final match in WWE so he could go out like his panel-mates Shawn Michaels and Flair (well, before Flair kept going in TNA), but now that hes in his 60s its probably just not a good idea. Maybe a tag match with Cena, where he could have limited involvement and be protected, but anything more than that could be dangerous. Its too bad he cant be satisfied with making six figures a year to tell people to buy the network. It beats having to do Radio Shack commercials you would think.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
