More On Hulk Hogan/TNA
Written by Sean Hopkins on Oct 29, 2009 - 8:57:34 PM
WNW reader Andrew sent this in... Hulk Hogan, as he often does, called into Bubba The Love Sponge's radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio today and shed a little more light on his role in TNA. While it wasn't the most revealing interview, he had a few interesting things to say:
-Hulk addressed rumors that he has signed a contract just to be a wrestler and nothing more. He said that there is nothing in his contract about getting in the ring, and that he has been hired to work behind the scenes and put his knowledge of the wrestling business to work to turn TNA around. However, regarding a return to the ring, he said that he never says never.
-When asked how Vince McMahon feels about his decision to sign with TNA, Hogan said that he hasn't spoken to him but that he should be happy about it. He said that the wrestling business was never bigger than when WWE had some real competition and that bringing back that competition will benefit the entire industry, including Vince and WWE.
-Interestingly, when Bubba brought up mistakes that were made toward the end of WCW that led to its demise, Hulk passed a lot of the blame to Eric Bischoff saying that Eric would admit today to the mistakes that he made.
-Regarding Vince Russo, Hulk said that he had no intention of firing Vince once he took over but he said that anyone who doesn't have anything good to contribute to TNA is going to be gotten rid of.
-Bubba hinted that Hulk was in contact with Ric Flair and Macho Man Randy Savage about coming to TNA, but Hulk did not respond.
-Bubba joked that Hogan was risking his job because Dixie Carter has banned all TNA talent from appearing on Bubba's show (which I don't understand because Kurt Angle is also a frequent caller to the show). Apparently, Dixie had heat on Bubba for his criticism of how TNA was run, but Hulk seemed to think that she has since gotten over that. Like I said, it wasn't a very revealing interview, as I imagine Hogan can't really talk about much right now, but it was still interesting to hear what he had to say about certain things.
