Kurt Angle Mentioned In Steroid Trial, Hogan Frustrated

Published On February 4, 2010 | By | TNA News

- Despite the positive spin he’s putting on TNA in media interviews, Hulk Hogan has been complaining to friends that he’s frustrated with several things in TNA.  Hogan feels pressure to push people he does not believe in – namely, some of the TNA originals. Word is that Dixie Carter doesn’t want the TNA originals to be buried by Hogan’s buddies, but there are some TNA originals that Hogan sees nothing in and wants to get rid of.  Hogan is said to be a big fan of Abyss as well as Tomko, saying at least both men look like wrestlers.

- TNA star Kurt Angle’s name came up in a federal trial of nine men associated with Applied Pharmacy in Mobile, Alabama that is going on this week. Assistant US Attorney Donna Dobbins brought up Angle and Jose Canseco as clients of the pharmacy in her closing arguments on Tuesday. She said, “Each one of them (the defendants) participated in this conspiracy. They operated a steroid mill, and they would dispense anabolic steroids to anyone whose credit card was good.”

- Ed “Brutus Beefcake” Leslie was backstage at the TNA iMPACT tapings on January 20th. Leslie is a longtime friend of Hulk Hogan, brother.

- As for the news that Scott Hall and Sean Waltman are gone from TNA, this is not the case. The duo has been removed from the TNA iMAPCT! opening video as well as the TNA Roster page on the company website, but them being removed is part of the storyline.

    Of course Hogan is frustrated, you’d be frustrated too if you were fighting a one-sided unwinnable war against the biggest wrestling company of all time.

  • fran80

    Yeah, this is gonna go well.

  • gcmissouri

    If Hogan’s frustrated about fighting “the war,” why would he have gotten into this whole thing? He’d better get over the problems with the TNA guys, no one cares about the Nasty Boys, sorry!

  • Mccall101

    Frustrated with who? Christopher Daniels? James Storm? Roode? all the people who helped make TNA great? Hogan you are going into TNA with the old school style of thinking. How do you make it to the future if you live in the past?

    All I can say is that I saw this coming a mile away.Also, “at least both men look like wrestlers” immediately makes me think of the x-division and a guy like Samoa Joe as the type of guys hogan doesn’t wanna push.Which is one of the many reasons Hogan shouldn’t be anywhere near a creative position in any upcoming pro wrestling company. And for the record I suppose Hogan thinks the Nasty Boys “look like wrestlers”???

    At first I didn’t care for TNA, but it grew on me. The motor city machine guns? Honestly, the names they come up with are about as dumb as it comes, but when you watch the guys they are freakin’ good. Some of these guys might not look like wrestlers, but they do things Hogan’s actors can’t do, and that’s actually wrestle. If you want to beat the WWE, don’t do what they do – do the opposite – wrestle.

    Hey Hogan the TNA clock is still ticking……..tick……..tick. and Hey I’m sure Bundy and Tito Santana are still available as a new fresh face for TNA.What a joke.
