Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan had been two of the most important wrestlers in WWE’s history. They’ve given the WWE universe countless memorable moments. However, they never had such a feud against each other. In the latest episode of Grilling JR, Austin’s friend Jim Ross revealed how the Hulk Hogan and Austin’s feud may have jeopardized the success of the Attitude Era.

Talking on the podcast with Conrad Thompson, Ross stated, “I never had great confidence that match whatever happened within have a long enough program and storyline to crescendo it and peak it at a pay-per-view. And we were not in that mode at that point in time. You know, you don’t if you’re going to rebuild a legend like Hogan, and I use that rebuilds this because I don’t have a better term in my head, right.”

Ross added, “You don’t want to relaunch him [Hogan] simply with a plan in mind to beat him. You know, you’re gonna beat him and sooner than later, but everybody loses at some point in time. And it’s imperative for the storytelling to have most sides of the issue, little Jeopardy and all these things.”
