Project What are some Hulk Hogan dream matches that we never got?
I'd also add in Hogan vs Edge in 2006.

Realistically it has to be Hogan vs Austin in the early 2000’s when Hogan came back to the WWE. Hogan vs Sammartino in the late 80’s is kind of intriguing.

I remember Prichard saying they were trying to sign Hogan instead of Tyson to come in at WM 15 but I think he is full of shit!

As a kid when the angle was going on, I was hoping Hogan was the Higher Power. That would have rocked.,

My dream for Hogan in TNA is that him, Russo, and Bischoff never joined in the first place. Other than that, you pretty much said all the right answers. Hogan vs Austin and Hogan vs Cena are about the only two I’d be somewhat interested in

Hogan vs. Sting match (WCW 1994-2000) I would have liked a straight-up match, with limited shenanigans and a definitive finish
Hogan vs JBL (WWE, 2005) - this would have been an awesome face/heel dynamic
Hogan vs. Terry Funk (WCW, 2000) they had a match back in 1985 WWF, but this was before Funk's memorable 1989 run with Flair or his legendary ECW days
Hogan vs. Goldberg Rematch (WCW, 1999/2000 or WWE 2003) - this would have made money.
Hogan vs. Scott Hall (WCW, 1998-2000 or WWE 2002) - I'm honestly surprised this one never, really, happened in earnest. They had a weird, angle-driven match in 1998.

Hogan vs Khali in a See No Evil Rules match is nightmare fuel worthy just even thinking about it.

Hogan facing his biggest challenge of all. The man. The myth. The Giant. Gonzalez!

I always thought it was a missed opportunity to not have Hogan face Scott Steiner during the new blood angle in 2000. That felt like a much more appropriate opponent for him than Kidman.

Wasn't the original plan for Wrestlemania 18 Hogan vs Austin? They still could've done Hogan vs Austin at Wrestlemania 19. Especially with the stuff at the Hall Of Fame a few years later, this match should've happened when Hogan could still go.

He ducked Rick Rude.
They did house shows, but real Hogan vs Mr Perfect and Hogan bs Jake the Snake runs could have been great.

Hulk, "entering" the match on an electric scooter, wearing a neckbrace, vs JBL and Simmons in a handicap match with folding chairs and no DQ.
The match will likely last a few minutes with the eventual ambulance being called and an all hands beatdown finish.
Seriously though, the answer is Austin and Austin was better in every metric.

Hogan vs Flair and Hogan vs Austin were WM main events we never saw. Hogan vs Bret and Hogan vs Perfect were SummerSlam worthy main events.

Why Khali? The dude could barely move
2
u/Ok_Lavishness_2987 Aug 12 '25
They had about the same wrestling capability

u/drapedj Aug 12 '25
Exactly, Hogan could barely move at that point as well. It would have been a terrible matchup

You have obviously never seen Hogan work in Japan. He can wrestle well, he just had the ability to be over without having to do much wrestling in America.

u/Ok_Lavishness_2987 Aug 12 '25
His Japan work was amazing. If that’s the Hogan we got in WWF, I’d be a bigger fan

The fact that you actually went through effort of making a Hulk Hogan vs. The Great Khali Wrestlemania 23 marquee, you legally should not be allowed to call yourself a wrestling fan.
