Hogan in TNA

[Jordan adams]

If hogan went to tna would you guys watch and how would guys like to him booked? I would watch just because its hogan and interested in how they use him. I would love to see them setup a match between him and Mick Foley or Jeff Jarret. But I would love to see them bring Vince Russo back on to tv and setup a match between Russo and hogan. What do you guys think?

I would love to see Hogan back in TNA... Not as a competitive wrestler, at least not right out of the gate...

Kurt Angle is "The Godfather" of the MEM... But how cool would it be to see vigettes over the span of a couple months, I mean give this serious build up where we see Kurt talking to someone we cant see... Getting advise on ow to handle certain wrestlers and how to be the ultimate politition to get what he wants...

Basically we see Kurt learning from someone and in the end it is revealed to be Hulk Hogan...

You could even have the senerio play out 2 ways... Hogan as a face or Hogan as a heel...

If he is a heel, we see him finally revealed by Angle as the true "Godfather" of MEM which would infuriate Sting & Nash setting up a series of Hogan & Angle vs. Sting & Nash with the other members torn between...

Or if you wanted him as a face, you could set up an angle where Kurt keeps taking his advise, but going to the next level with it... He becomes even more out of control then ever before, even making some of the old nWo antics seem tame... Hogan then reveals himself to be the true "Godfather" and basically tells Kurt he has gone to far... Kurt then has Steiner, Booker & possibly Matt Morgan siding with him, while Sting & Nash remember how many people the nWo hurt & how many careers the nWo ended blaming the nWo for WCW's eventual downfall... So they side with Hogan in attempt to keep history from repeating with TNA... Either toryline could easily write in alot of TNA orinls also...

Im sorry but if tna gets hogan any where near their buisness they will fail big time. First off Hogan is not seen to great in the public eye right now, which means he may not be as big of a draw as he once was . Two tna upper managment might think they actually have a shot at competing against the wwe , and of course we would see the bigger of the two copmaines win . I think at this moment in time it would not be wise . Also Hogan needs to stay away from any wrestling ring he really cant sell bumps any more .

I would like for Hogan to return to the ring one last time, but in the sense of wrestling, he's too damn old to do it. Also, with the mass media taking jabs at the Hulkster, I agree that TNA wouldn't draw as much as they should off of Hogan. And where else but TNA to send an old wrestler's career to die. And better yet, if Brooke got in, she could be one hell of a Knockout.

I could see Hogan as a top manager (lol Hogan in a monkey suit) for the new generation and probably would put whoever he backs on the map, and then some. I could also see a Hogan/Foley or a Hogan/Jarrett feud later on with Hogan's puppet taking jabs with either Foley or Jarrett, and possibly taking the guy to TNA champ status.

Yes Hogan is being portrayed terrible in the media, but I don't think that would have an effect on wrestling fans. I think wrestling fans will tune in to at least see Hogan. But...he's clearly waaaaaay past his prime, and way past a decent match. If he came in he'd have to wrestle and really, it would be terrible.

As mentioned above a great angle would be having Angle talking to him (where you can't see it's Hogan) for a few weeks. And JB comes out saying "Kurt we just got a message and he's going to be here next week on iMPACT!" And Hogan comes out next week and confronts Angle about how he's not a hero or a real american and misunderstood everything Hogan has said and now he's here to make it right. Because let's face it, he'd have to be a face. I think that could be a great great storyline. But like I said, the action would likely be terrible. He could then talk about how some of the younger guys are the future of wrestling.

The big problem is however is that Hogan would likely demand a ransom and I don't think it's worth it at this point. If, and this is a big if, if he is hurting for money and is willing to settle for a manageable sum then yes I think it would be worthwhile to try it out.

The best way to bring Hogan in right now would be have Angle get pinned at Sacrific, therefore no longer being the 'Godfather' of the Main Event Mafia. and then Have Hogan come in as his replacement.

If TNA would bring in Hogan, it would be HUGE for them. Ratings would definately increased, but I think that within a couple of weeks, it would drop back down.

 

[Goberz2K8]

I dont think it will benefit TNA a lot really. Yes he ahs been on TNA TV before, but the only thing that will really benefit, is the initial Buzz over the internet, and the Wrestling World. After a short while, TNA might still have slightly higher ratings at first, but it wont be longstanding. Hogan has had a bad year or so, and with some of the injuries and ops he has had over the years, shouldnt really be a fully active wrestler, and doesnt need to be champion anymore.He would be expensive as well.

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

The best thing for Hogan to do is get back into his element...and that's wrestling. TNA could use the cred of the Hulkster on their roster in some form or fashion. But you really think he won't wrestle again if he's able to? You're delusional if you think he won't. Foley wrestled and won the TNA belt, so Hogan wrestling again isn't out of the question.

But with all the publicity concerning his divorce and his son's troubles, getting back into the flow of pro wrestling would be great for Hogan...but it could hit a snag. I truly believe the heat between Russo and Hogan is legit and Russo is a writer for TNA...so it's possible to have this entire scenario hit a snag due to that. But then again, it's wrestling and pretty much nothing's as real as it seems.

Alright Hogan comes to TNA, there is only one way to book this. This is big. A few months before next years Lockdown Hulk Hogan vigettes start leading up to his debut two months before Lockdown. Hogan doesn't wrestle just shows up and cuts promos about how big a star he is and how the media treated him so poorly during the divorce. Voice overs and notes start showing up telling Hogan he has no idea what it's like to be made to look evil by the media. The mystery man challenges Hogan to a weapons filled steel cage match at Lockdown. Leading up to the ppv we don't get the identity of the opponent but on tv every week they talk about the possible former wrestlers and other people that were made to look like fools my the media.

Finally Lockdown arrives and Hogan comes to the ring for his match, takes the mic and calls out the mystery man once and for all. The voice over comes on and says, you understood how I could do it? Now I will show you what I'm really able to do.

the music hits and out comes OJ Simpson. Match of the Century.

Hogan in TNA = money.
I really think TNA would be able to compete with WWE if they signed Hogan. No doubt the media would be hyping Hogan's return to the ring as lately they have been documenting every facet of his life anyway. And in my opinion, any publicity for TNA is great publicity. Just having TNA in the same sentence with "Hulk Hogan" and "wrestling" on several newscasts would garner more ratings.
Imagine Hogan being in the MEM (epic). The MEM would trump the NWO.
Hogan, Angle, Sting, Booker, Nash, and Steiner
vs.
Lashley, AJ, Joe, Daniels, Foley, Jarret

Hogan is the biggest star to ever be made in wrestling, possibly second only to Austin. His prime was magnificent, destroying wrestlers of all shapes and sizes, and it was great to watch.

So if he went to TNA, I just coudn't watch it. There's just something too sad about seeing old wrestlers hobbling around the ring, trying to force themselves into making it a good match. Watching some of the older guys in TNA is bad enough. But even the then, the oldest wrestler in TNA is 5 years younger than Hogan.
Last time we saw Hogan wrestle it was 2006. He looked horrible and Orton had to carry the whole match... And jobbed to Hogan for his troubles.
This is 3 years later. Hogan is 55. Fifty fucking 5. He has to learn when to just give up, cause one of these times he'll make a mistake in the ring from his old age that could not only hurt Hogan himself, but the person he's working with.
And despite what people seem to think, it would hurt TNA. TNA would end up paying millions for Hogan. Millions they can't afford to spend. It wouldn't be that great an investment. It's great when Hogan makes an appearance every so often. He gets a god pop, helps out a babyface in distress and poses for a while. But if we saw him every week on impact for a year or so, wrestling in his current condition? Come on, that would be hard to watch. And it would be bad for TNA on a whole other level. They're struggling as it is trying to create young stars, why bring the guy who'd rather eat his own leg than job to somebody younger and less famous than him? Although considering what the MEM is doing to young guys, I guess having Hogan in there wouldn't make much difference.
And seriously, the wresltling industry has to let Hogan go. Wrestling businesses have to stop getting Hogan in to help them out. Can't depend on one guy forever, no matter how good he once was. If this doesn't stop, the wrestling world is pretty fucked when Hogan finally dies.

 

[OhCanadaEh2009]

If Hogan came to TNA, I'd soil myself.

I love seeing Hogan. I love watching his return videos on YouTube. Always brings a tear to my eye, seeing a true legend return to the ring.

But didn't Jeff Jarrett screw any chance of Hogan to TNA a few years back when he smacked him with a guitar?

 

[Sasori]

I think Hogan will make a big splash and than die out in a couple of weeks!
and I'd like to c him in a match with russo LOL
and also I'd like to c him give credibility and rubs to younger guys like Joe,Lethal,AJ,the Guns,LAX,etc!
that way TNA can stay fresh and alive!
