It appears that Stone Cold wasn’t a fan of Hogan’s later work in the ring.
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Hulk Hogan is a singles match we never got to see during Hogans final run with the WWE in the early 2000s. Of course, Hogan would face the Rock during that timeframe, but did not face Stone Cold Steve Austin
While speaking on the Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross talked about Steve Austin never facing Hulk Hogan. Ross stated that it was because of Hulk Hogan’s match against The Undertaker, which turned out to be a disaster.
“Austin didn’t have the match with Hogan because he didn’t want to have the match The Undertaker did. Hogan was battered, beat up, multiple back surgeries. It’s funny when people say ‘What’s the really important things to learn in pro wrestling training?’ Well, you’ve got to learn to take a great flatback bump because about 98% of the stuff you see ends with a flatback bump.”

Stone Cold most recently wrestled at Wrestlemania 38 vs Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match.
