Hogan vs Austin
As the years past the once dream match scenario of the biggest star of the golden age vs the biggest star of the attitude era looks less & less likely to ever happen (Especially considering Hogans back) if however hypothetically speaking both men could still 'go' who would you like to see go over in a match between the two? & why?

Re: Hogan vs Austin
From what I've heard Hogan has said that he would be willing to do the match and would be willing to put Austin over.
Now how much of that was just the usual Hogan talk in the run up to a Mania like he always used to do prior to TNA I don't know, but I have also heard that the beef is more with Austin cannot abide Hogan.
Austin commenting on Twitter about TNA:
“Flair with the brassnucks to the balls…truly the dirtiest player in the game…still. Hogan to the ring…time to change the channel.”
Hogan though has said this previously about Austin
"Austin has been in the business about 18 years and he was on top for four. I wrestled main events for 25 years. I could pull my dick out and I might be on top for four years - it's called 'cheap heat.' Somebody who stays on top 25 years has to have more than that. It has to be in your spirit."
It was all meant to happen at Mania 18 but they apparantely couldn't agree on a finisher, yet Hogan then went on to lose cleanly to the Rock while Austin beat Scott Hall.
Austin also refused to lose to Lesnar saying that it wouldnt have benefitted anyone on free TV and should be on a PPV (though that then didn't happen and again the Rock stepped in as replacement, and Hogan also got squashed by Lesnar as well).
Both though obviously had huge egos and both felt they symbolised the WWE, Hogan for taking it mainstream, Austin for being the biggest merchandise seller in such a short time.

Re: Hogan vs Austin
Here's an Austin interview piece regarding Hogan:
"He's just a bitter, insecure guy. I give him all the credit in the world, because I've watched a lot of his career unfold and the Hulkamania thing was one of the biggest things ever. But believe me I've been around the entertainment business since the back end of 1989, and if there's one thing you're going to find out it's that if you've got thin skin you're probably in the wrong business. So there's not a damn thing Hogan can say to rile me up or charge me up. I'm secure in the career that I've had and everything I did. It makes me laugh when he's got to do that, because I really think it makes him look like a chump."
Don't know as well if you've ever seen these old ECW promos involving Austin?

Re: Hogan vs Austin
I would hate to see that match, it would stink up the palce. Both are in no condition to put on a decent match anymore. Would love to see Hogan get stunnered though! Give me a hell yeah
