If Hogan joined TNA

[nealo]

i knoiw its a long shot but the res of his life is falling to bits and vince wont take him back so TNA may be his only option.

what would we expect if this actually happen, not saying it will, but if it did.

woyuld we expect him to :
Team up with kevin nash?

Have a rivalry with Sting?

become TNA champion??

your opinions please...

Be booked in a match with Jeff Jarrett but never show up in the Impact Zone, instead we'd get Jimmy Hart coming out for weeks throwing Hogan cronies at Jarrett before the angle is taken out the back door for a mercy killing. Jarrett then proudly proclaims that he scared off Hogan & we get to see footage of Jeff hitting Hogan with a guitar in Japan every year or so.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

I might actually watch TNA for more than 2 seconds. Thats the only result I can think of.

That, and somewhere, Randy Savage turns on the TV and poops himself.

Come back to us, Mach. We miss you.


And you should probably rephrase that as "Vince won't take him back today". Those two are like a married couple....soon enough they'll get over it. If they can think of another "money" match involving Hogan, and IMO the only ones left are Hogan/Austin, which won't happen, and Hogan/Cena, which I won't watch because I couldn't handle Cena winning.

This.

And it would also be (in his current role as heartless bastard Hulk) would be a PR nightmare.

[The Masked Mr TZ]

He'd pin Samoa Joe clean, then go away.

[Blindkarevik]

He would enter into a stable with Sonjay Dutt and Raisha Saed and call himself Bollywood Hogan.

[metylerca]

He'd have a mystery partner in his tag match against AJ Styles and Tomko at BFG that went by the name of Nick Hogan.

Buyrates would jump a little.

He'd be given a 'thank you' run with the TNA title for added legitimacy.

We'd see Brother Bruti beat LAX cleanly in a handicap match.

Hogan would beat Jay Lethal for the X Division title somehow and all the while saying "Be a MAN, Savage!" But this wouldn't be seen as getting back at Macho Man.

In his first Ultimate X, he'd win by using his workout belt to smack the title down.

Get the trend?

[messiah]

He would bodyslam Abyss...all 79068734lbs of him.

And do it in front of 60 million fans.

The reason all these suggestions are so funny is because they are so close to the truth! Hogan is notorious in the last 15 years or so for:
1) asking for(and getting) outrageous financial guarantees
2) demanding to cleanly pin the current top guy in the promotion, whoever that is
3) put a group of his washed-up (or never-were) cronies in important spots in the company
4) re-fighting old feuds with himself coming out on top this time-sometimes not even with the same guy! (think: Renegade-Warrior) I love the Jay Lethal-Savage idea.
5) basically refusing to do anything he perceives as diminishing his character, even if its in the best interest of the company

Despite his experience, Hogan has never learned that feeding his massive ego may not be the best thing for business in the long run. In that regard, he is the antithesis of Ric Flair, Shawn Micheals, or any other of a number of veterans who are willing and able to work with young guys and make stars out of them.

And the sad thing is, multiple promoters, including Vince McMahon, are willing to throw money at him over and over again.

Abyss would then promptly proceed to die the next day. Perhaps even in the locker room right there and then.

[Professor Chaos]

It'd actually make me more interested in TNA. I watch Impact but can't get into it much, and certainly would never shell out money for one of their PPV's. If Hogan did become world champion I really don't see anything wrong with that as I buy him as more credible than guys like Joe, Christian, Abyss, etc. Only guy I'd have a real problem seeing Hogan beat would be Angle.

[SBYM (Heel Turn)]

If he did anything other than job to Kip James 23 times in a row I would go out of my way to personally harm every person on the TNA roster, physically and mentally.

Michaels & Flair are just as guilty of feeding their egos. But Hogan doesn't care for business, all he cares about is lining his own wallet (& he did co-operate to make Brock Lesnar look monstrous in 2002).

[MysteryPartner]

Hogan would not go into the WWE hall of fame.

[soultsukino]

If Hogan went to TNA?

They'd close.


I'm not joking either.

Yeah, it'd be pretty hard for him to go into the WWE Hall of Fame since he's already in it.

A grand idea in theory...but considering Vince actually employs Bollywood's greatest star ever in The Great Khali, he could throw that right back in TNA's face. Coupled with the fact that Khali's been in bigger Hollywood movies than Hogan (Longest Yard, Get Smart), Vince would really start laughing.

Huh. Great Khali has a more successful film career than Hulk Hogan. Awesome. Kjijbaihbysdsnosi.

Exactly. The last thing TNA needs is to sign The Orange Goblin unless they really wanna go all out and become WCW 2.0.
