Jim Ross called into the Bubba Love Sponge show on XM yesterday for just some general talk. JR talked about how today’s wrestlers rely too much on writers and creative team and says they should go out of the box and not be so dependent on someone else to get over.
Bubba was talking about Hulk Hogan vs. Steve Austin at WrestleMania 25 in Texas. JR said never say never but he doesn’t think it will happen and talked about Vince still being a business man regardless. Ross said if Vince sees potential in the match and can make amends with Hogan, then who knows. He said anyone who considers themselves a wrestling fan would want to see the match for the historical side of it and the emotion alone.
Hogan called in towards the end of the show and said he hasn’t talked to Vince and like JR said, never say never in this business. Hogan said a match with Austin would break all records and the key would be to building a good program and telling a good story in the ring, which he feels Austin and himself could do very well. Hogan also mentioned he would be very careful with Austin’s neck. When asked who should go over in the match, JR mentioned some kind of screwy finish where someone interferes and Austin & Hogan clean house. Hogan disagreed and said a match like that needs to have a finish or the fans would crap all over it. Hogan said he would not mind at all doing a clean job to Austin at WrestleMania 25 as he realizes the kind of money the match could do and the finish doesn’t matter to him. JR said it would be interesting to see what kind of rumblings start happening at “The Tower” now that this interview had been done.
