This was not long after Hogan got there. Actually could've been before. But around that time when Hogan was interviews about joining TNA, he said "I look at Abyss, I think 'that's our John Cena'. I mean I like Abyss, good guy, great gimmick, especially now with the Decay - but as big as a star as Cena? Really? I struggle to see what Hulk did.

I remember that as soon as he said that, almost everyone start laughing that statement and wondering what drugs the Hulkster was on.
Then months later we got Orange Lantern Abyss with Hogan's magical WWE HOF ring and the Englishman falling into the dangerous pit.
So the answer was all of them. All of the drugs.

The hilarious thing is that Abyss is a total gimmick guy with a wacky Mankind type mask. How on earth is that guy going to be any sort of crossover star that does charity for kids? The idea of him being the face of the company is hysterical.
Abyss desperately needed to go to WWE a long time ago. Now the dude is almost 44 years old and his peak years are behind him. Good grief, even if he spent a few years jobbing to Taker and Kane in WWE that is better and more profitable than the way he has been used in TNA.

Hogan's opinion was a fluff piece in prep for his arrival. Spelled M A N I P U L A T I O N. Hogan knows "dis bizness" probably better than anyone and knew how to get talents to do the shit he wants.

I prefer the HvF series of events.
He grants the Hall of Fame Ring of Questionable Power to Pepto Abyssmal Hogan gets the ring back, becoming Kluh Nagoh, etc

Hogan was wrong. Abyss became waaaay bigger than Cena. Because he's fat.

"I look at Abyss, I think 'that's our John Cena'." Just like he looks at Metallica and says that he was gonna be their bassist.

AJ Styles had won everything in TNA twice, had support amongst a variety of communities and is one of the best wrestlers on the planet.
Yet TNA didn't even treat him as their Cena, what chance did Abyss stand?

I like to think it went this way.
"Listen jack dude reporter brother, we've got stars here, OK, like this guy, ummmmm..." *scans locker room for tallest dude brother, skips over AJ, Christian, Amazing Red, sees Abyss* "Like, erm, ABYSS HERE! I look at Abyss, I think 'that's our John Cena', Brother Jack Brother Dude!"

I think Hulk caught Abyss coming out the shower because that's the only way I can see that statement being accurate.

Abyss should get a lawyer and sue. If only he knew one.
