Spoilers - WWE's plan B for Rourke/Jericho match

According to the source, there's still the feeling that Mickey Rourke could come back to get invovled in the Jericho/Hall of Famers angle that was supposed to lead to a match between the two of them at Wrestlemania XXV.

However, there are plans in case it doesn't happen. It's been reported that Jericho is planned to keep on facing Hall of Famers and wrestling legends for the upcoming weeks to finally face no other than Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania XXV.

   As interesting of an experiance it would be for Rourke to wrestle in the greatest stage of them all (he got a small taste) as an actor...BIG MISTAKE!

   If hulk wins then I'll like it. this might be what turns y2j face again as he has hinted to going face a while ago. Although I'll like that, I'm more interested in seeing Randy go face.

   It is most likely Stone Cold that will face him. I remember reading on this site after last wrestlemania that wwe would put him in the hall of fame this year if he has a match at 25.

   I preffer to see Hogan vs Jericho than Jericho vs Austin simply because Jericho doesn't have enough history with Austin to be involved in his retirement match. So yeah Hogan vs Jericho probably will be a bad match but i dont want to see Austin's last match to be vs Jericho.

    Not enough history? Um go back a few years. Jericho became the first undisputed champion by beating Stone Cold and The Rock for a world title in the same night. Jericho created his whole postmatch heel persona on being the only man to beat both men in the same night and become the undisputed champion. It would be awesome to see them face off. As far as Hogan vs Jericho, that's a lot of weight for Jericho to carry for the whole match. Jericho has two of the best Wrestlemania matches in history, vs HBK and vs Christian. The last thing he needs to do is job to some glory hound who will use it to catapult another failed TV series. I respect what Hogan did for the business but after beating HBK and Randy Orton in recent years, I dread to see Hogan come back and job out another main eventer.

    I would love to see something like Hulk Hogan managed by Rourke. Because I am not sure that Rourke would be able to perform a WrestleMania-worthy match. But I would prefer a Hogan/Austin match, but that's not going to happen.
