Mostly, the interview with Hogan is his usual self-agrandising, however his answer to the question
Hulk, if there was one thing you could change about the wrestling industry at this point in time what would it be? How will Hulk Hogan revolutionize the wrestling industry yet again?

Well, the one thing I would change and I'm going to change is..I hate the writers. I cannot stand that they have a writing team sitting in the back telling the wrestlers what to say and telling the wrestlers what to do in the ring. That's one of the reasons why I went to TNA because the other promotion that's what they're all about - scripting the verbiage and scripting the matches and telling the wrestlers what to do. They have a team of writers in the back that don't understand this business, that have never been to the big show, that have never been in the big main events. All the writers are either wrestlers that are midcard wrestlers or they were family members that were handed a pen and paper and told, "You've learned what you've learned from our family now keep writing". They've never learned the wrestling business from being in the middle of the ring in the main event in front of 20, 30, 40, 90 thousand people.


if what he means by that is that promos will be less scripted and more on the fly then i'm all for it. one of the big problems with wwe at the moment is the over scripting of the promos. the guys aren't allowed to be themselves like they used to be when you had guys like Foley, Austin and Rock. it's just the same cookie cutter promo from every guy

Also, I loved the bit about Austin just ignoring him. I think that's mainly due to a simple thing: Austin doesn't NEED to wrestle any more. He made his money during his hot period and had that wisely invested. Unlike Hogan who has an ex wife to pay for, a talentless daughter's "singing" career to bank roll and a son who can't drive and thinks he's a driver (side note Nick Hogan had another crash recently, and the irony is he was coming home from a safe driving talk )

Can't see it unfortunately mate, don't think he's been over for any UK tour since a WWF one in 1993!

Why? Do you think people didnt already know about TNA but now Hogan is there they do?

Surely the same thing was being said when Foley went to TNA. Granted, your average joe blogs will know who hogan is more than foley, but its still not going to make him want to watch it.

I mean, just before WWE bought WCW, WCW was in a right mess. Why? Because the wrestlers were left to their own devices when it comes to promos. They had to make their own up and it was car crash TV and this is what Hogan wants to do again? The guy has lost the plot. I think Im right in saying that only one man in WWE was allowed full control over his promos and that was the rock. But he could because he was just so good at it.

There is only one way TNA will be able to compete with WWE and that is buy unearthing someone or somebodies, with the Charisma and originality that make people want to watch it, in the same way WCW did with NWO. Only your hardcore fans watch wrestling for the moves and the wrestling ability. The majority of "fans" prefer the soap opera element.
