TNA has more homegrown talent than import talent. I hope that Hogan goes. I want him and Bischoff gone from creative. TNA needs a six-sided ring, Dutch Mantell and Jeff Jarrett. I'd rather them not bring back the six sided ring. It was such a gimmick and I never liked it at all. That's what made them so different from any other company, they use to think outside of the Square. Excluding the good ol' Nashville days, that's the TNA most of us wanna remember.

Ah well, let him leave TNA and go back to part time appearances with WWE, where he belongs.

Actually, Hogan was just in Toronto, and for footage of the Hulkster, all they showed was his WWF/WWE stuff on the news. And the news girl who was doing the news story for him had the replica WWE Title belt on.
Not a good sign for TNA when footage for Hogan is of his WWF/WWE run and the news girl has a WWE Title.
Nice try though TNA, but Hogan came, he took some money and now he's gonna leave. You have nobody to blame but yourself, Dixie.
Make TNA like it was back in 2004 - 2006 maybe??

Except AAA in Mexico had that six sided ring a good four or five years before TNA did.

If i were dixie I'd gift wrap this and give it to him with a smile saying, "here's a gift for all your years of service here at TNA" I woulda fired this bum the first time he made a public appearance and mentioned his dumb celebrity show and said not one word about TNA. Damn idiot.

Hogan came in, got paid big bucks, and depleted TNA of all the things that made it unique. I have no doubt Hulk Hogan was embarrassed to be in TNA. He felt he was better than them. So he tried to bring it to "his level" and in the process washed away all the things we fans enjoyed. He wasn't there to help TNA. He was there to get his face on TV. And if his reality show was still on you could bet your ass he would never have been there.
Dixie needs to let him go. Patch the holes. And try desperately to right the ship before they're all sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

as much as I love Hulk,.. he just doesn't bring much to help TNA besides merch sales.. and his pay is HUGE. I think it is time tna parts ways, they spend alot of money on Hulk for not much else other then his presence.

We only know so much as fans. But, it's hard to disagree.

I love when people blame Hogan for TNAs problems. With or without him there will be no difference. The company is never going to be anything bigger than it is.

Honestly, they started going downhill at a fast rate once Hogan and Bischoff came in and brought all their buddies with them(Knobbs, Saggs, Waltman, Hall, Bubba Sponge, etc..) I've watched TNA since the beginning, but once Hogan and Bischoff came in, I stopped watching not long after. I gave it a chance and they just killed everything. The terrible stable consisting of 20 guys was absurd.

After that they turned AJ heel and aligned him with flair for no apprent reason and that god awful They storyline that bombed. I applaud tna's attempts at trying to get recognized but hogan/bischoff was piss poor for them marketing and booking wise

Hogan come to WWE and get the most amazing best ever Elite figures. I stopped watching TNA in 2009 I think, loved it in '08. Samoa Joe vs Sting used to be awesome from memory.. Stopped watching now, it just looks so second rate to me.

I'm not someone who prises Hulk Hogan often but I honestly don't see the problem with him being in the video game. Money is money. You have to jump of the opportunities to earn it while you can. It's business.

I think its a real dick move of Hogan to be in WWE 2K14 and not think once about TNA. Hogans consistently getting interviewed at places and never once mentions TNA. I love Hulk Hogan but I think he doesn't give a damn about TNA or his fans and at the end of the day Hulk Hogan isn't going to do whats best for TNA, Hulk Hogans going to do whats best for Hulk Hogan.

As a huge Hogan mark, and TNA mark as well, I am ready for him to move back into WWE. If nothing else, TNA could really save a lot of money by Hogan being gone. I may be in the minority, but I would love the return of the 6 Sided ring, a relevant X-Division, etc.

If he leaves, I want there to be a big storyline where the TNA originals (led by AJ Styles or don't do it at all) lead a crusade against Hogan and his regime (a super-short-lived faction that lasts a couple of months, maybe have Hogan become the behind-the-scenes mastermind behind A&8s) to take back TNA for the fans and for the people who built it.
Have AJ cut a promo something like this:
"Hogan, you have been the face of pro-wrestling for thirty years. You have had more titles, made more money and been responsible for more iconic moments in this sport than any of us can hope to enjoy. But that face is old, it's withered, it's wrinkled, it's eyes are bloodshot, it's tired and it has a stupid bleach-blonde moustache that went out of style before we'd even seen it for the first time. You have made wrestling old and tired and you have denied so many people who have tried their hand at this business an ounce of the spotlight you have monopolised for three decades. People like Christopher Daniels, people like Awesome Kong , people like Alex Shelley, people like me, Hogan. You see, when you arrived here with The Nasty Boys, Val Venis and Bubba The Love Sponge, I was the World Heavyweight Champion and I was out here every night having five star matches with the best the world had to offer. But, you didn't like that, did you Hulk? You wanted your whacked out stunt man Jeff Hardy to come in here and steer the ship, or how about Rob Van Dam? Men who, gifted and entertaining though they are, have had their time in the spotlight and squandered it. When people turned on Impact, they did it because they were sick of those guys, they were sick of you and your kind of wrestling show. When they cried out for good old-fashioned wrestling, they didn't mean they wanted to dig up 1983 or 1996. They wanted to see the best athletes in the world compete in a six sided ring and witness history every single week and, if there's one thing for absolute certain, Hogan, it's that with all the success, all the titles, all the backstage politics, all the celebrity and all the Hulk Hogan you created, on your best day, I would have embarrassed you in this ring. So, with that in mind, I want you gone from my company. See, I'm not like you, I don't carry a company on my back for years and then jump ship when the management are sick of me like you did. I was the face of this company long before you arrived and, because I love TNA and because I believe in wrestling and in choice, I have sat quietly and remained loyal to this brand but now, I've had enough. WE have had enough, not of TNA, but of you Hulk Hogan. And now, we've decided that for these people, for choice and for TNA, you have outstayed your welcome. This is our house, we built it, and now we're about to show you the door."
Have a big world title match between AJ and Bully Ray at BFG, with the stipulation being that, if Bully loses, Hogan is fired and Sting becomes the new GM.
Then we have the next week, Sting comes out to the returning six sided ring in a suit and shades and declares that the old TNA is back, the TNA that revolves around exciting new wrestling from exciting new athletes. AJ is the world champion, Bad Influence are tag champions, Manik is X Division Champion, Gail Kim is KO champion. Everything's perfect.
Ahhhhh... I can dream.
