During the talk, Bully Ray asked Austin what he thought about the legendary wrestler, and Austin was quick to praise Hogan.
“I’ve always been a Hulk Hogan fan,” he said. “If you watch that guy at over 300 pounds in his prime, 6’6 – whatever it was – the way he would sell; can you imagine trying to get heat on a baby face, you know, and you could get heat on him and he would sell it. He was like an oversized Ricky Morton, Bully. The way he could work a crowd or his sense of work in a crowd was second to none. You talk about his work all you want to, he did work that a big would do. His relationship with a crowd, his ability to read a crowd: second to none.”
When asked about the possibilities of the pair working together or if they could have had a match together, Austin was emphatic in his answer. “Absolutely yes,” he said. “If we’d done it way back in the day, but I was so damn hard headed and worked myself into a shoot, and stylistically, I thought it might have been a little clash because I was caught up in buzzsaw mode, and he was a little bit more on the theatric side, which is perfect. But competitively, I was in a place that the match never happened. But absolutely, could we and should we have.”
There's no bigger crowd reaction in pro-wrestling than when the glass shatters and @steveaustinBSR hits the ring. ☠️🐍🍻
