Hulk Hogan Hints At Going To TNA

Quote :

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was interviewed this week by The Southtown Star and spoke about a number of topics, including his family, advice for aspiring wrestlers and the upcoming Hulk Hogan Fan Appreciation Day. Some of the Hulkster's most interesting comments came when the subject of WWE vs. TNA came up.

"I watch both products. (TNA's) like the little engine that could. Everybody thought they wouldn't be around for long, and they've been chugging along for seven years. They gain momentum every week. They seem to be real fresh. When a lot of guys go over to that side of the fence, they seem to get a spring in their step," Hogan said. He added that he also watched the WWE product saying, " Vince is the constant. He's the standard of excellence. I just love watching his show because you never know what he is going to do. Plus, the production -- you can't even touch his production. It's so dialed-in. It's amazing just to see how they put the pieces together."

"If you look at history, everyone says, 'History repeats itself.' With all of the choices in the universe of entertainment, I look at the big package and look at the big picture from 40,000 feet. I see history repeating itself. I see TNA getting strong. I see Vince McMahon being impeccable except for a few little holes in the boat."

Hogan continued, "TNA is lacking that one momentum-shifting move, that one big name that would even the playing field, the brand (that is) just as powerful as the WWE brand. (TNA's) lacking the big piece of the puzzle. It wouldn't matter who did what in the past. It will be a totally even playing field. You never know."

What's going on? Hulk usually only comes out with this shit around Mania time, hoping that Vince will give him a call. I guess his divorce is costing him more than he thought it would.

i'll only believe this when he shows up Mafish told me he was suppose to go there a couple of years ago when i asked why TNA keeps showing Jarrett hitting him with a guitar

he's losing money,homes, boats & cars to linda & her boyfriend

Yeah he agreed in priciple to do a few shows with TNA years ago but he ended up back in the WWE

I'm wondering if he fancies SummerSlam, I'd actually be interested to see Hulk in TNA, it would certainly get them more attention, the only thing is though you can bet it will come with at least one World Title run and that for me would be hard for TNA to recover from, at least from a spectator point of vier

it will bring more fans in your right i told my brother & his mate and they said he'll start watching TNA also his title run which he would get would be dull & not enjoyable for me but the fans he brings in will probably enjoy it

In the same interview, he also says he can't do the leg-drop anymore as his back is so bad, so presumably, he'd have to come up with another finisher...

In all honesty, Hogan comes up with so much horse-crap it's difficult to take him seriously any more.

when i use to watch Hogan knows best every time he wrestled after the match he was in bad shape and couldnt do anything he had to keep going to the doctors most of his matches when he returned to the WWE he wrestled injuryed

Well when he was in Japan they wouldn't let him use the legdrop as a finisher cos it looked like shit, so maybe we'll get the return of his Japanese finisher. AXEEEEE BOMBEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I still think he will be at Summerslam with WWE and will regretfully squash Jericho

cant see that happening Jerichos a big star in wwe and cant see them letting hulk squash him

They thought the Leg drop looked shit so they gave him a finsiher which is basically a clothesline with not a great deal of impact.
I have to say both is finishers look pretty shit.

I'd have rather see Hogan use a submission hold when he was in Japan, he could easily work and a guy with his size is believable giving a reasonably strong submission

It should be noted though that regardless of what Hulk says or does if he ever got back into the week to week running of Wrestling the Leg Drop would be used, he will say he can't use it in order to get more cash if he eventually gives in and offers to bring it to the table with him, he is many things but daft he isn't

I just think that Hogan was linked to facing him at mania 25 in the legends storyline. Hogan would probably be a face if he returns. There are 3 top heels at moment. Edge who is injured. Orton who holds wwe championship and will be involved with Cena/HHH and Jericho who may be stuck for a story after Edge injury. So thats why i thought of Jericho

It's not a clothesline, it's a lariat! There is a difference, although I can understand people confusing the two. And the Axe Bomber does have a good deal of impact when hit correctly.

Don't think Jericho would be happy with Hogan returning for one match just to go over Jericho, unless Jericho is a big Hogan mark. Don't know why I think this, I just get the impression that Jericho cares a lot about his current character, I think he takes a great deal of pride in it and that he wouldn't want to see it's momentum halted by someone who reportedly can't even perform a simple move such as the Leg Drop.
