wrestling.insidepulse.com/2009/10/30/hulkster-lets-us-know-why-he-signed-with-tna-rather-than-with-wwe-again/Here's the article: 'According to an interview with Time.com, Hulkster said that his main reason for wanting to come to TNA was to help the younger guys. “”When I woke up and realized I should be my own man and be responsible for being happy, I realized I still have a lot to contribute to the wrestling business,” Hogan said. “And jumping into TNA and being a part of that company is huge. I have a chance to give back and help these young wrestlers who don’t understand the business and the art form.” Yeah, just ask Billy Kidman how well being in a program with Hulk will help your career. Of course, Kidman rarely leaves his mansion except to headline Wrestlemanias. Although, I do have to agree with Hulk when asked about the difference with the current generation of wrestling; “The business moves so much faster now. It used to be if Andre the Giant and I had a feud, it’d probably play out six or seven months later at a big event. Nowadays, if Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan have a feud at 9 o’clock, it’s usually over by 9:30. It’s a story-telling art form to create emotion and drama and I just think a lot of that is lost.” If you’d like to hear him talk about juicing [steroids], and his recent book, head on over to Time.com to read the full interview.' All I have to say is... "I have a chance to give back and help these young wrestlers who don’t understand the business and the art form.”

See, I didn't even read the post at all. But just knowing Hogan, I bet he's not saying how he wants to be the "big name" of a company again. I'm sure he said something about helping the company rise up and put over young talent, much like most of these washed up wrestlers claim.
I give it until January 2010, before Hogan is main eventing Pay-Per-Views.

I don't get the stone cold laugh? I agree with Hogan on this one who was great at the artform of wrestling. Alot of guys in TNA just do spot after spot in a match.

He does have a point about the "art form" really. There's guys in TNA that get's it (AJ, Roode, Storm, Dinero, Shelley, Sabin) but then there's others who just do spot after spot after spot. That might be cool and might make us go "Ooooo" and "Ahhhhh", but it doesn't tell a story.

He'll be champ by December. However if bischoff can get his story telling approach across and Hogan can keep his head out of his own ass, this will be good for tna

Have you even seen a Shelley and Sabin match? Shelley and Sabin are spot guys. Beat me to it. Every MCMG match (in TNA, at least) is "Okay, now I'm going to do my move." "Me next!" "Okay, my turn." "Let's do a double-team move!" ::poses:: Granted, they're not the only ones, but still.

Man fighting Hulk one ups Hulk and beats him down. Hulk finally gets the crowd to cheer him enough, he Hulks up, 3 moves of doom, Hogan wins. Same old sh*t.

Hulk teaching younger guys how to wrestle is as effective as giving pure sugar to a diabetic.

I could care less about the guys that do spots. Calling any Hulk Hogan match art is just... Unsettling with me.
His matches entertained fans, but what's so artistic about a scoop slam, and a leg drop?
