It'll be a Hogan DVD but it'll Be THE SELF DESTRUCTION OF HULK HOGAN (and soon to add Ric Flair to the set)

Ok, I think we're all missing the Bigger Picture Here.
Hogan is being added to the booking Comittee, Bischoff is a "Producer", and might be dragging Flair Along.
We have a perfect storm to see if they can remake WCW or run TNA into the ground too

Hogan merchandise still=buys. He still sells more merchandise and DVDs 9when they release them) than any wrestler on the current roster. The amount of money WEE and Hogan make form Hogan DVDs is to much to pass up on or abandon. Hogan is still more popualr today than anyone on the current roster and has sold out more PPVs and shows than anyone on the current roster.
I posted this in a diffrent thread also
Also with TNA the way they are going. At the moment they have the most consistency as far as good shows and PPVs go. They have the better roster and also have the better feuds. The commentary is much better and the aver all product of TNA is much better than WWE at the moment and o be honest has been for a good few months 9at least) now). With Hogan and Bischoff signed with TNA and the talent they could also bring and attract to them. Not to mention the casual viewers and older viewers that may tune in. They have a great mind for the business. No one in WWE booking team has a better mind than Bischoff and Hogan combined. As long as Hogan is kept to backstage and only has maybe one or two matches on PPV and is kept out of the title scene. Due to the condition Hogan is in. If everything does go well. TNA have been closing in on WWE most of this year and the past couple of years they are going from strength to strength where as WWE is more constantly p[utting on bad show and PPV week after week and month after month. TNA will be right on WWE's tail and it will be sooner than Vince or the fans think now. I never thought I would say this but TNA could easily over take WEE with the product they have right now. Also another bonus TNA has compared to WWE. Is TNA is on a free channel here in the U.K where as we have to pay for WWE. Why pay when you can get a lot better for free?

Vince and Hogan are rarely on good terms but the minute they feel they can make money off each other they will reconcile. It will always be like that. Vince knows Hogan's likeness still draws to the average wrestling fan.
Vince has the biggest wrestling library in the free world filled with matches from the biggest wrestling star ever. He is just milking it for as much money as he can.

Well, honestly given his political predilections in any company he's in it's not an unreasonable extrapolation. In other words, I actually haven't heard anything Concrete, but I could see him and Bischoff making a power play in the coming months. |

I'd like to see TNA take the gloves off a little and bring back some WWE parody skits. I find Jay Lethal's Macho Man impersonation to be comical as all get out, and if done intelligently and not sinking too much into the muck, these skits are usually entertaining. The Nation of Domination and Four Horsemen parodies had me laughing more than any single moments in wrestling for the last 10 years.
I'd mark for a Hogan/Nash/Hall? reunion, and although I do not think another iteration of the NWo would go over, at least they could still play off the veterans vs. the youngsters. If booked intelligently, that is a compelling dichotomy. I'd also love to see a good heel manager and a good female valet or two.
One final point on this is that I wonder how much money they are throwing at Hogan. If they can throw money at Hogan and Bischoff, why can't they throw some at Bret Hart, and if he was game, give him a GM role or a proper final sendoff and retirement show? They could even find some old bald grouchy guy and pretend he is Michaels, then have Hart shoot on him, sharpshooter im, maybe even have Jannetty come out and get a few licks in. The smarks would be going nuts!

I honestly think the WWE is shaking in their boots at this announcement. They've spent so much time as the only show in town. Time to shake things up! There's only one way the WWE can combat this potential trump card...  NEW NATION OF DOMINATIONHogan's DVD's would crumble forth to make way for the NEW NATION |

Hogan and Bischoff coming to TNA makes me think of Boba Fett (Bisch) and Darth Vader (Hogan) working together to capture Han Solo as a helpless Lando Calrissian (Dixie Carter) looks on with dismay but knows it has to be done.

Everyone - everyone - should get one of these. Could you imagine The Self-Destruction of Tito Santana? King Kong Bundy? Steve Blackman? |

In other words, I actually haven't heard anything Concrete, but I could see him and Bischoff making a power play in the coming months. I doubt it because 1) From what I have seen it is Bischoff's company that TNA is working with not jut Bischoff the man. They are teaming up with his company to help advertise and help wiu production and general media. So I don't think EB will be moving into creative 2) Hogan is old as can be. Despite wanting to work alot he simply can't. After viewing his last WWE runs it seems obvious to me at least that his time on air in TNA will be relatively brief unless he has a strict non wrestling role. |

How will this DVD promotion look? I mean, sure Hogan is a WWE/F legend, but how are they going to promote a DVD for a guy who's now in TNA? I know they could NOT mention TNA but Vince is pretty petty will take this a personal slight. So, how are they gonna do it? Kind of a long tagline, but they're going to go all out for Hogan... |

So is Hogan actually gunna debut on screen on TNA? has it happened? or is this a big build up to him joining the team in general? |

No offense, but that's the biggest pile of nonsense I've read on here for quite some time. You're right it is a pile of nonsense. TNA closing in on WWE? Yeah, the same TNA that can't move past the 1.1 rating range. The same TNA that has bombed with their recent live event tours of Germany and in the Midwest. They have recently been in 2 of the top markets in the U.S. and their shows were total flops. Lets see 850 paid in the LA area for their so called WrestleMania. 450 last week in the Chicago area. ROH draws at least double in the same market. The same was the case with the second ever Dragon Gate USA show. I don't get this thing everyone claims about TNA having better talent. What's so great about their roster? Just a bunch of dime a dozen spot monkeys or idiots who always take these moronic risks that will backfire really bad someday. Most of these guys couldn't sell a ticket to save their lives. They're just as cookie cutter as everyone claims the WWE mold is. |

Sorry but TNA is not just spot monkeys taking moronic risks. That is like me saying the WWE is nothing but left overs from the attitude era.

TNA talk needs to stay on the TNA board. This thread is for talk about the WWE produced Hogan DVD and nothing more.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that users quantum, snugglecakes, dodge08, triplealbert, and travis are all the same person? Maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist, but something looks mildly similar and mildly shady about all of their posts on this page. Just saying.
