Updated: Hulk Hogan's TNA Contract Expiring In October


After The Rain

Recommended Posts

 

According to reports from the Impact Wrestling taping for next week

 

 

Hulk Hogan quits

 

 

Which probably means he'll re-sign with TNA, lol.

 

That may or may not be true since Christian also had some sort of send off on screen before actually leaving for the WWE.

 

 

They do it as insurance just in case they can't reach a deal, they did it just recently with Anderson and it looks as he's gone for good now. If anything, they'll probably re-sign him to a short extension and have him leave after Bound For Glory. Anything more than that, then they've lost their minds.

Specifically, Hulk Hogan was not pleased with his daughter Brooke being let go by the company and how TNA handled the situation. Hulk felt that TNA should have informed him first that they were considering the move, which did not happen.

 

He also said the 2 factors that would most help TNA would be putting Eric Bischoff in charge and giving them an unlimited budget.

 

 

 

 

... I really hate Hogan now and wish him incapacitation. Here's hoping TNA has the sense to not rehire him or even think about going near him.

 

And where the hell would TNA get unlimited budget?

By using an Action Replay code. That's how Hulk always did it on GM mode in SvR 2006.

People tuned in when Hogan first showed up in TNA, but ratings steadily fell back down week after week. It just proved that TNA as a TV show doesn't hold the viewer's interest. Hulk Hogan brought the viewers, and it was up to TNA to keep them. People weren't gonna tune in every week just to see Hogan talk; only WWE could market that.

 

Come on back to WWE, Hulkster. It's where you belong anyway. Let TNA be the place for fans who don't like WWE's product and come back to WWE where you'll be appreciated.

No, people just got tired of Hogan hogging up the spotlight and the bad decision making displayed by he and Bischoff. People tuned in at first because they thought he'd bring something to the table, after a while he proved he didn't. They put money into him expecting results, money that could've been used elsewhere. TNA plays a part in all this, but don't act as if Hogan is free of the blame, they gave him all this creative control and he simply didn't produce.

 

People don't even want to see him in WWE, he has nothing to offer there either.

I guarantee that if Hogan showed up in WWE again it would get a huge pop. It's all about how someone is used and how they're marketed. Hogan shouldn't be in charge of his own stuff, no. You're right about that. But TNA simply doesn't have the knowhow or the ability to market a talent like Hulk Hogan. And it's not their fault, either.

 

TNA is at it's core the small pond. It's built for guys like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Austin Ares, guys who have a niche following but will never be huge stars. Hulk Hogan is out of place in TNA. He's a larger than life legend, probably the biggest name in wrestling of all time and the very reason wrestling still exists in the way it does. But TNA is different from the mainstream wrestling that Hogan is tied to. The fans who watch TNA watch it for something different than WWE. It's for the minority of fans who aren't interested in WWE.

 

Sure it will never get huge ratings, but that's not the point. The point is TNA needed to focus on itself and not already established stars, because those stars are established in the WWE way which is the opposite of what TNA is.
