Steve Austin Wanted To Be Hulk Hogan’s Little Brother in Wild WCW Storyline Pitch

TLDR

Eric Bischoff revealed that Steve Austin once pitched becoming Hulk Hogan's storyline little brother in WCW, proposing they team up before Austin would eventually turn on him. Bischoff noted Hogan preferred working with trusted wrestlers like Ric Flair, making the idea unlikely to succeed, and instead Austin was booked to lose the U.S. Championship to Hacksaw Jim Duggan, which Bischoff believes was a turning point in Austin's WCW run.
