Both Hulk Hogan and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin chimed in on the John Cena heel turn during separate interviews this week.

Hogan and Austin also had interesting heel turns during their careers, with Hogan shocking the wrestling world in 1996 by being the third man behind the nWo while Austin did the unthinkable and joined Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 17, defeating The Rock to win the WWE title.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, Hogan described what he saw as one of the best heel turns he’s ever seen in a long, long time.

“All the major players were involved. I can’t say enough about The Rock, too — he was incredible. They did it right, I’ll tell you that,” Hogan said.

He said this WrestleMania season could heat up more than anyone else anticipated and it’s going to work as long as Cena wants to “stay plugged in” and the addition of The Rock will make it crazy.

“Well, we definitely can see Cena now, can’t we? We know who he is now. He’s not signing autographs or doing what he’s been doing. That’s bigger than a wrestling angle,” Hogan added.

Meanwhile, Steve Austin was interviewed by The Schmo at a Mint 400 race in Nevada and called the heel turn “epic” but still has reservations if fans will accept Cena as a heel or make him more popular as a babyface.

“It had to happen sooner or later. Finally, it happened,” the WWE Hall of Famer said. “They’ve kicked off an epic build into WrestleMania, and that’s what they do every single year. And this year it’s here in Las Vegas, so it’s going to be pretty damn awesome!”
