More On Hogan’s Power In TNA, Sid To TNA Update & More
– Hulk Hogan continues to make media appearances in Australia promoting the ongoing Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin tour and was very outspoken about writers in pro wrestling during an interview with SportFM in Perth, Australia. “In TNA, I’m going to listen to those fans and give them what they want,” Hogan said. “I’m not going to keep shoving a bunch of terrible, horrible, stale programming down their throats. (In TNA), I’m going to take the writers and tell them, ‘Go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we’ll use you for that.’”
Hogan repeated the claim that he’s coming in to “run” TNA and answered a question about whether he’ll wrestle for them. “I’m going back to the United States to run that company – TNA,” Hogan said. “I’m going to be on-camera, I’m going to be behind-the-scenes taking care of business in the back, and if the fans scream and shout loud enough, I might even lace up the boots up, brothers, but I’m not planning on doing that. I’m planning on taking that company and turning it into the #1 promotion in the business. When I leave here, that’s the mission I’m on.”
Hogan claims to have a financial stake in TNA, which will motivate him to do what’s best for the company. “I signed a deal with Dixie Carter to come in as her partner,” Hogan said. “I know there are several people on the show – storyline-wise – who say they are part of TNA (management) such as Mick Foley and Jeff Jarrett, but this thing is for real.”

- Last week we posted messages from Psycho Sid’s website saying that he was headed to TNA. After checking with a source in TNA, many within the company don’t know anything about Sid coming in. Unless it’s something being kept a secret or very few people know, it may not be true.

I think I hope just as much as any TNA fan would that Hogan has learned from his mistakes and is going to do it right this time around, if he’s put money into it, he should be taking it very seriously.
This is what I fear the most. Hogan has become the next Vince Russo. If you think Hogan was a pain as a wrestler, and worst as a father, imagine him as Vinnie Mac’s rival. What has been wrestling biggest dream has become wrestling’s worst nightmare. He has become the Michael Jordan and the Bill Parcells of wrestling. He will not be happy until it becomes THA Total Hogan Action.
Hogan and TNA… What a surprise.
Give Tna another 2 or 3 years and they will overtake the WWE
As is they are already giving them a run for their money.
TNA has hardcore wrestling fans. WWE has a bunch of 12 year old kids. How I hate John Cena.
God, you kids that think that TNA will ever “overtake” WWE… Hasn’t history taught you anything? TNA works by the same principles as WCW did in the ’90s – buy up the old WWE employees as they’ve still got plenty of juice in the tank. Only that’s not quite how it works, as most of these people got released from WWE for legitimate reasons.
You only need to watch ImPAcT!? to see just how far behind in terms of quality that show is. They can only fill half the god-damned TV studio! It tries so hard to be WWE, rather than going out and doing something original. Man, how I pine for those old days of ECW… An original promotion!
