Why the hell should Hogan have lost to Michaels? It makes no sense. Both are established "legends." Let Michaels win to stroke his ego? Hell no. Everyone is protecting their own ego. It's all fair game. Michaels finally got outwitted and he whined like a bitc.h about it and made a mockery of a match. It's great he lost. Hogan put Rock over cleanly at WrestleMania. Fuck HBK.
As for the TNA move. I'll check it out. People will expect something NWOish and be dissappointed. I'm not expecting much out of it. TNA has many other problems, like that gay ass six sided ring.

Oh well, yeah, I guess you're right, both of those guys have huge egos anyway. However, the point was that there's no reason to think Hogan has put his ego behind him. I just read an article about his press conference. When a fan asked him whether working with Russo is gonna be a problem he said if he stays in his place, there aren't gonna be any problems, but if he didn't, he would do something about it...power struggles to come for sure.

WCW's cruiserweight division was great so maybe they will pick up on the X division. Maybe not. Being behind the creation of NWO can only take you so far.

STFU = broken fu##ing record! Stop whining about how much you hate TNA but then say you'll be tuning in.... contradiction mate?
This can ONLY be seen in a possative light, if Hogan and Bischoff use the company for their own agenda then its just like having the Main Event Mafia in full swing again... there will be nothing lost! If this actually works, which I hope to god it does, then TNA are on the way up finally!
Reports indicate that Bischoff and Hogan will be booking (Bubba Love Sponge said this on his radio show) and that Monday nights will be the new home of TNA.... huge steps forward....
Russo will go, everyone will a brain knows that his days are shortly numbered.... and rightly so, the guy is poison!
As for the state of Hogan.... sure he's got issues but this will give him a goal to reach for, ocupation or stimulation of the mind is what he needs.... and kudos to Dixie for couping this deal when all the media is focussed on Hogan.... when have TNA been mentioned on the Today show or Larry King live???
If this is indeed short term, which it could very well be, then TNA can only benifit from the media exposure! Twitter is all over it too.... this exposure is just what TNA needed and its already messing with WWE's plans.... the Hogan DVD set to be released in a few weeks...
I'm not a big fan of TNA but I have always had high hopes for them to succeed in the long run.... and this news has me very excited!

Not sure how involved Bischoff would want to be. Can't see him wanting to start booking the show, think he see's himself more on the financial side of things these days.
I think it's an awesome move. Hogan might not be a great wrestler, he's very old and god knows what they are paying him, but......It's Hulk Hogan man! Nobody, NOBODY draws like Hogan, nobody else has the name recognition, nobody represents pro wrestling so completely. This is the moment where we will find out if TNA can compete in any way with WWE, as if Hogan can't do it for them nothing will.
There is a lot of bad mouthing, and a huge amount of jealousy, that goes on when it comes to the T-shirt ripping, slap-headed superhero.......most of which has turned out to be bullsh##. The fact remains that he's a proven entity in wrestling and wherever he has been he brings his own army of fans. People who despise TNA will tune in regardless, purely for the nostalgia trip.......you can kill Hulk Hogan, but Hulkamania will live forever

IF Hogan has changed his attitude and is willing to put over younger talent this will b a great move for TNA
IF Hogan is there to stroke his ego and pull power moves backstage and win the TNA Title then it wont b such a great move by TNA...
its up to Hogan how well this works and at the moment im not 100% convinced he is at TNA for the right reasons....

Nice move buy TNA. People need to remember that you shouldn't forget the past and the ones that brought wrestling to its greatness. Hulk Hogan represents wrestling at its most exciting and most pleasure to watch and I'm pumped that he's back on TV again.
This is a big move for even the most skeptic fan( like me) so lets see how it goes.

Hogan is not that much of a nightmare.....as long as you pay him he will do what he's told without kicking off. I guess, in recent history, it's been of importance to him to protect his legacy. At 56 years old I don't think he's going to be too worried about jobbing to the top talent as long as he remains high profile. There are plenty of old guys to feud with in TNA.....and a belt specifically for them. I see Hogan being ok with putting over the top 3 guys IF he is going to wrestle on a regular basis.

Hogan has done jobs and put over guys on the biggest stages of all. Some of the biggest matches in history, he lost. Rock vs. Hogan at WM, he lost CLEANLY. Hogan vs. Warrior at WM, he lost CLEANLY. Hogan vs. Goldberg, he lost CLEANLY. He put over Lesnar with Lesnar kicking out of the boot and legdrop. People just hate on Hogan cause it's the "cool" smark thing to do. Pathetic. Hogan was a figurehead in the two most successful eras in wrestling, the 80s-early 90s and the Monday Night Wars. He's done so much for wrestling. The ultimate face turned ultimate heel. Anyone with true wrestling knowledge would have respect for Hogan.

Whilst on a full term contract he's not had issues not putting guys over... only when making special one off appearances has he refused... and why would he have his legend killed by Orton? the whole concept of Hulkamania is that it never dies.... and why would he put Shawn over? working a one off makes no sense jobbing? If there was a follow up match in place then sure, put Shawn over... otherwise its illogical....

You guys have given me a lot of reasons to be optimistic. I'm gonna hope for the best because, really, we need someone to give Vince a run for his money and force him to fix things in the WWE. This move could finally make that possible. I'm not gonna forget to tune in to Spike today!
