I think nearly any thread that had Hogan vs. any other superstar in a vote on the internet would have Hogan as the loser any day, so I don't think this means too much.
I'd rather see Hogan win personally if it happened which it never will.

Really people, What kind of "performance" would these guys give 10 years ago that would be any different today??? Oh thats right, Hogan won't be able to do his 450 splash, and no sit out powerbombs for Austin. Please.... Well, ten years ago, Austin might actually be able to bump for Hogan to make the match look good. Now, Austin can't take many bumps because of his neck, and Hogan doesn't bump, period.

Exactly, Hogan takes the same bumps he always has, and All austin would need to take is a body slam. I'm sure a few punch bumps aren't going to hurt him either. People act like 10 years ago it would be some sort of High Impact Steiner Bros match. Really people, What kind of "performance" would these guys give 10 years ago that would be any different today???

If you can't tell the difference between an Austin match in 97 and what he would do today then .... well I don't know. And Hogan was still somewhat MOBILE in 97.

Truly a dream match... ten years ago. Now both guys are WAY too broken down to put on an entertaining match. Thanks, but I'll pass on this match. The crowd energy will be so high for this match that it will be impossible not to enjoy it. Whether your favorite wins or not this will be one to keep you on the edge of your seats. As the match goes on you can't tell me that you won't be psyched up waiting for the chance to rub it in the other guys face as the words "I told you that [your pick] would kick [the other guy]'s ass!" This match needs to happen.

The match would suck, regardless of atmosphere, and I frankly wouldn't care who wins, because if the match outright sucks, I won't enjoy it. Matter of fact, here's exactly how the match would go: Punch, punch, Stunner, Hogan no sell, Hulk up, leg drop. No entertainment value there at all.

This match needs to happen. Speak for yourself. I was told this would be the case for Hogan/Shawn Michaels and that match was a mediocre end to a mediocre PPV. The only good thing was Michaels overselling Hogan's big boot of doom.

My theory is that if Andre the Giant could be an active WWF wrestler until early 1991, then Hogan and Austin can put on a match at WM23.
They wouldn't even have to take solid or spectacular bumps. I mean, look back at Rock vs. Hogan at WMX8. It didn't have numerous solid "wrestling moves", but its remembered for the amazing atmosphere.

But that was another case where Rock could bump around to make Hogan look good. Austin can't do that. All Austin can really do ringwise because of his neck is hit a stunner and punch.

Just end this stupid argument. Some people want to see it, some people don't. No one is wrong.

The match needs to happen because WM needs some star quality matches for a change.
i'm sorry but Cena and Batista headlining WM is a joke when you look back at Pre WWE WMs.
dose anyone remember when WM would sell out because of the card...Not just because??

No, it doesn't. Let two young guys get over instead of giving these two dinosaurs one more incredibly unneccesary ego boost. The young guys aren't getting over. They WWF keeps pushing the young guys but fans aren't tuning in. They would still rather see the stars of the past. If the young guys were capable of getting over then they would be by now.

Pushing them HOW? Jobbing them to established talent at the end of EVERY FEUD?

LOL at Austin getting booed like the Rock. You know it will happen. Rocky Maivia was the most popular guy in the WWF at the time having surpassed "Stinko" But then HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN returned ans showed these guys what true popularity is. That's why "Stinko" Steve won't face HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN. There are still a few people out there who try to claim that "Stinko" surpassed him in popularity and he knows that if they ever face each other the truth will come out that "Stinko" is no where near as popular as HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN.
