    Reason Why Stone Cold Refused To Work With Hulk Hogan In WWE
    WWE

    Despite being two of the biggest stars in not only WWE history but wrestling history as a whole, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan never worked together in WWE, and we now know the reason why.

    On his Grillin’ JR podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross has explained why Austin refused to work with Hogan in WWE:

    “Austin had it in his mind that Hogan’s style and Austin’s style were oil and water. He just didn’t feel the chemistry. Austin was never about having good matches. Austin was about having great matches. He knew better than anybody else in the world who he could work the best with. Hogan wasn’t on that list. Steve could be wrong too. I’m not saying that Hogan and Austin couldn’t have a good match. Look at the match Hogan had at WrestleMania 18 with The Rock.

    “Steve is a stubborn guy and he just didn’t feel it. That’s what we are trying to explain in meeting with these guys is that there is a new sheriff and town and his name is Stone Cold. It is not Hulkamania anymore. But if we could use Hulkamania in a bitter way, in an angry way, maybe we could get a WrestleMania out of it. That was the idea but it never came to fruition. It didn’t happen because Steve didn’t push for it. I believe Hogan probably would have gone along with it because it would have been a great payday and he could have worked with Austin.”

    Speaking of Hulk Hogan, it has actually emerged that 17 years after his last WrestleMania match in 2003, Vince McMahon wanted Hogan to wrestle and win a match at this year’s ‘showcase of the immortals’. You can find out more details about that by clicking here.
