More on Hogan Signing with TNA, Bringing Bischoff Too?
Credit: PWInsider.com
For those who have asked whether Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff coming into the company means they are going to take the reigns of TNA, I am told, “absolutely not.” The signing is not a precursor to removing the current TNA creative team. Given Vince Russo’s past issues with Hogan, that is going to be extremely interesting to follow.
There are SpikeTV and TNA banners up at the Hogan press conference outside Madison Square Garden right now. Jimmy Hart is with Hogan as well. The signing was kept a secret to even the inner-most members of the TNA circle until today.
The press conference today featured Eric Bischoff introducing Hogan. Hogan talked about TNA and stated he was becoming a “partner” in the company and that he was feeling great and looking forward to being a part of the company. The conference left the impression Hogan may be involved as a personality, but not wrestling for the group.
TNA President Dixie Carter gave a short speech saying she was looking forward to working with Hogan and that while they have great ratings for a Thursday night, Hogan would be the “boost that TNA needed.” SpikeTV’s Kevin Kay was also in attendance and gave a brief statement about the network working with Hogan.
The Q&A session was said to mostly be fluff fan type questions, although one fan did ask Hogan whether working with Vince Russo would be an issue. Hogan responded that as long as Russo stayed in his place and didn’t cross him, there would be no issues. Hogan then said that if he did, Hogan would have to take care of it.
When the topic of Eric Bischoff came up, Hogan did not say Bischoff was working with him in TNA but noted they have other side projects they are working on.

-TNAwrestling.com already has this posted in their news section, meaning this is more legit then any of us could have imagined. Im marking out so hard right now.
I always thought Bischoff was better for WCW than Russon was, and he was even a better on screen character. If they could all really work together and get alone, though, it could be great for TNA.
Every where Hogan goes, his Eric Bishoff follows him. Someone shine a spot light on Hogan to make this guy disappear already. Well, there goes all hope of my boy Paule coming in…
wow and i thought that russo would be the nail in the coffin for TNA
Commercially, this is a good move for TNA. Hulk Hogan is a good talker, and can really generate interest for TNA to new audiences. He did it for WCW. And saying he killed WCW is not accurate. WCW had problems well before and after Hogan. And TNA is NOT WCW.
