Another WWE Legend Heading to TNA

Quote :

The official website of former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man notes that he is "close to signing with TNA."

Honky's website has a TNA logo and promo video on it as well as a message from the webmaster saying that Honky and TNA have been in talks since December of last year.

Seriously? That must be some kind of joke.

What does he have to bring to the table?

unless its a one off appearance its bad news for tna

Why sign him? Doesn't TNA have enough former WWE wrestlers? hopefully it's just a one off appearance for Jay Lethal's legends challenge but with him putting the TNA logo on his website makes me think otherwise, with all the guys Hogan's bringing in the real talent is going to get lost in the shuffle.

i think deep down dixie carter is regretting bringing that twat hogan to tna.

dixie carter needs to tell hogan to stop bringing all these washed up out dated turds in.

Hogan has also come out and stated he's trying to get Savage onboard and DDP has said that he's in talks with TNA about a short term deal too!
Has Hogan basically just looked up wrestling from 1988 and decided to call anyone that is still alive.

So just like he did when he went to WCW in 94, the only difference being that guys like Savage and Honky were 16 years younger and Hogan could argue that they still had something to offer. Not much, admittedly, but something. Now he has no excuse other than that they are his friends. I expect Hacksaw to sign a deal any day now.

I think Bischoff had rubbished these rumours

According to Rajah here he has http://www.rajah.com/base/node/18343 but I don't trust these spoiler sites myself.

During an appearance on The Shootradio show this past week, The Honky Tonk Man admitted to making up the rumors saying he was going to TNA. He said he "worked everybody" and admitted that he was never in talks with the company. Here is a recap of his radio interview: This past Thursday February 4th, The Honky Tonk Man was a guest on The Shoot radio show. Host Gary Cantrell welcomed him to the show and recognized him as a legend and the Greatest Intercontinental champion of all time. Honky Tonk Man referred to himself as the "Most Controversial Figure in Professional Wrestling". Gary replied that "with the most controversial figure in professional wrestling and the most controversial internet wrestling radio show things could get insane". HTM didn't waste anytime laying jabs into certain people. His first target was TNA's Bubba the Love Sponge whom he referred to as Todd Alan Clem which was Bubba's old legal name. HTM mentioned that he was in Bubba's old hometown of Warsaw Indiana recently and claimed that the people of Warsaw "ran that fat prick out of town". He claimed the people saw Bubba as "common ordinary Trailer Park trash". Gary asked HTM about his first experience on the Bubba show. "I was ambushed on that show" replied HTM referring to the time he was tricked onto Bubba's show. Gary mentioned that it was "Spice Boy" (Matt Loyd) who hosted the fake show that lured HTM on. "I wouldn't recognize him if he came out of my ass" referring to Spice Boy. HTM mentioned that he was done speaking of Mr. Clem and wanted to move on asking Gary who he wanted him to shoot on next. Gary said he wanted to talk about HTM's ass whooping list. According to HTM the top of the list was TNA's Eric Bischoff. "If Eric Bischoff was laying on the side of the road and his heart was on fire, I'd don't even think I'd stop to piss in his mouth." said the Honky Tonk Man. At this point, what Honky Tonk Man doesn't realize is that Spice Boy is waiting on hold and can hear all of what HTM is saying. Gary mentions that he has a few callers

this all stems from people thinking kennedy umaga and honey would be a stable that was based around their releases from wwe probably which to me sounds like the most cack idea anyway, so assume it was just someone messing.

Did HTM possibly make up the rumors to try and get them to sign him up? So like to get their attention and is now annoyed that they didn't sign him.
