The day Hulk Hogan lies down for Matt Morgan, is the day I will lose all faith in pro-wrestling. Old Leather Butt is a character that was based mostly on how strong he was. Now he's 56, with a plethora of well publicized real-life health problems, and considerably smaller than he was in his "prime". He should be jobbing to half of the TNA roster. |

Hulk Hogan isn't good enough for the TNA World Title. I'd give it to Eric Young instead. was that an EWR reference?? |

I just saw Hogan being interviewed by some woman (one of the View women?) about his return to TNA. He stated that he was still unsure of how much or if he will wrestle. If that's true, it's a win-win for TNA. He'll be around to bring in his sheep but the in-ring product won't suffer with him. That would be great but I'll believe it when I see it.

-- Hulk Hogan already has some of the higher-ups in TNA worried as he apparently seemed hard-pressed to even mention the organization during his media blitz promoting his book last week. While the wrestling legend put over TNA here and there, the feeling is he treated the organization as an afterthought when appearing on such highly visible shows as Larry King Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
-- Eric Bischoff is supposed to show up in Orlando for this week's slate of iMPACT! tapings, but as of yesterday, TNA officials weren't sure of his intentions. Many feel that if he works this week's television tapings, it would show interest on the part of Hogan's camp in the organization. However, if the former Vice President of World Championship Wrestling isn't present this week, they doubt Hogan will ever show up in TNA.source: www.f4wonline.comIn an interview with the Chicago Tribune newspaper, Hulk Hogan pulled no punches when talking about his relationship with WWE CEO Vince McMahon. Hogan admits that his return to wrestling is partially motivated by money, but says the desire to help the industry and compete with Vince are also factors.
"Some people say Vince made wrestling and some say it was Hulk Hogan," Hogan said. "We both did it together. I thought it would be cool to see who has more juice right now." He added "I still have reasons to go do this, and it’s not just because I need to make money -- which I do. I still love it. I still love it, man. I don’t know what else to say."
Hulk explained that he wears his WWE Hall of Fame ring to cover up a tattoo of his ex-wife's name, but any value the ring has is purely sentimental. "I think Vince McMahon paid $20 for it. My high school ring was better than this thing."
Despite the expectations that he's coming to TNA to wrestle, his true motivation is to get people excited about wrestling again. "It’s all about having fun and making the crowd go crazy and I think I can still do that, man. I might limp a little and might have to pull myself up by the ropes to get up, but I won’t know until I get in there," he said. "If I really do embarrass myself to the point where fans are laughing at me, I’ll leave."
