Erm, im going off what Hogan said in the linked interview and as for your second sentence, HELLO, thats what Hogan sounds like he wants to do. He doesnt want any writers. He wants the wrestlers to do their own stuff.

TNA has just been WCW-lite.

Hogan genuinely thinks that he is going to attract millions of viewers and talent to TNA just because he did it in 1996 for WCW. The thing is that the world has moved on since 1996 and he is no longer the number 1 wrestling name on the planet.

If, say, John Cena were to 'do a Hogan' and jump ship, maybe it'd have the impact Hogan did for WCW, but that hasn't happened. As noted elsewhere, when Angle jumped, it didn't do much to boost ratings.

Not every big superstar but every aging big superstar IMO. By this I mean if they'd pushed slightly younger guys who had a longer career ahead like Goldberg, Jericho and Raven, they might have had a chance of surviving, but when you're having Hogan v Flair as your main event for the umpteenth time people will get bored.

IMO Hogan would be a great signing for publicity, brand development etc if he was just coming in as an advisor, General Manager or something, but got a horrible feeling he was build his power there and end up having a major say in everything that goes on, which could be bad for TNA (noticed how he's already getting more TV time then many young wrestlers and he's not even fully appeared yet?! ).

And, don't be supposed if he beats AJ for the title in 30 seconds like he did to the late, great Yokozuna.

Believe it or not, I am actually still a Hulkamaniac though!

They already do.

Hey, what the hell was Crystal doing last Friday on Impact - gets elbowed in the face and knocked to the floor, so she immediately clutches her ANKLE in agony, but literally a minute later is apparantly healed?! You upto your old tricks Mr Russo?! Hey speaking of that tit, if you want to hear a great wrestling mind watch a shoot interview by Jim Cornette, esp the RF one from about 2000/2001 where he really speaks his mind about Russo and Bischoff.
