Also, I can assure you that a movie with Stallone and Arnold in it would mean way more 20 years ago than it does now.
They're both kind of relics now. That doesn't mean they've been forgotten, but they're not the box office and pop culture icons they were in the late 80s and early 90s.
OK yeah sure they were in their prime, but 20 years ago, technology, equipment and general stunt practices were in some ways tamer and less entertaining than some now, so it depends really with that.

And yes, I agree, it would mean more in terms of box office potential, and what they could actually do on screen, but hell - at least it's come to this where they got who they can to be part of it and do something rather than nothing.
