During his appearance on “Busted Open Radio”, Steve discussed his regrets on never getting to wrestle Hulk Hogan. Austin took responsibility for the match not happening. Here is what he had to say:

I’ve always been a Hulk Hogan fan. 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 over-sized 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.

Absolutely yes. 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 buzz saw mode, and he was a little bit more on the entertainment 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. ☠️🐍🍻

Austin credits @HulkHogan with being able to work a crowd better than anyone , and says a clash with Hulkamania "could have and should have happened." 🤔💪 pic.twitter.com/HTS9C0AEBa
