Bring in Albert/Giant Bernard. Whoever could manage to bring him back to the States would be lucky. He's fantastic. |

He does actually have a good point. Morgan, Abyss, and Hernandez are about the extent of their big guys, except if Tomko is the attacker. He is, and there's also Rob Terry for the little that's worth. Perhaps they can bring back Cheex or Disgraceland. |

Could always try to bring Nathan Jones back and team him with Morgan again. Could always try bringing in Heideneich or Snitksy too-under different names of course. But would definitely be better to get guys who have not already had WWE exposure. I can see where this would automatically generate heat on Hogan. TNA's greatest home grown stars have been guys like AJ and Christopher Daniels, who while they may fit the cruiserweight mold, they are still phenomenal performers. The assumption would immediately be that Hogan is going to bring in slow, over-muscled hosses and push the over TNA's homegrown talent. But I say lets wait and see. On that note, we could always see TNA bring back some home grown super heavyweights who had relatively short runs like Monty Brown, Rellik, and I seem to recall some guy named Trident. I remember reading something about Nathan Jones working on coming to TNA, and then he was hit by a truck in Thailand... from the news report, the truck ended up totaled, and Nathan needed some rehab on his elbow... as this was over a year ago, I have no idea of what happened after that. |

Hogan, yet again, is an idiot and here's why:
When there's one or two 7 foot, 350 pounders on the roster, the response from the audience is "Holy balls, Wrestler X is so much bigger than Wrestler Y!! I'm gonna buy a ticket to see him kick somebody's ass!"
When there's a fleet of 7 foot, 350 pounders on the roster, the response from the audience is "Pfft... Wrestler Y is so much smaller than Wrestler X... Why would I watch this??"
It's the reason why the Cruiserweight belt didn't get over too much in WWE. They brought in so many random hosses, they made the athletic Cruisers look puny!

Big guys have their place in wrestling just like everyone else.
The trick is getting the good ones. There are an awful lot of big stiffs out there.
One thing forgotten about someone like Vader is, when he needed to, he could sell his ass off. Too many young power guys seem to want to play it indestructible all the time.

Wait, the guy gets hit by a truck, the truck is totalled, and he needs "rehab on his elbow"? Is Nathan Jones freakin' Kryptonian? |

Hogan has always loved the giants and freak shows in wrestling. Whenever I hear him talk about the business of wrestling and what works I always seem to cringe. Sure he's probably the biggest star in wrestling but I have always thought he had the absolute worst mind for wrestling and what it should be about. I always think of something like the Dungeon of Doom being something he strongly believed in. Tons of weird and monstrous wrestlers all hell bent on destroying HIM.

Why is it that people seem more interested in Albert now that he's in Japan?

You know TNA should let the guys on their security team wrestle. Mikael Judas, Phil Shatter and Kimo are very good workers. Also I've seen Jason Bane and Ray Rowe each one of them fits this mold. I think TNA should look into this I know Jimmy Hart likes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLikvV2TcKQHe had a tryout with TNA this year. He impressed management I heard. He was trained at the Monster Factory and Terry Taylor likes him. |

I mean, he says he wants to add talented big guys, and people are already stating how this is the end of the world. People read what they want to read. As long as Hogan doesn't book himself, I really think people should give him a chance. |

As long as Hogan doesn't book himself, I really think people should give him a chance. I believe Hogan is on to something. I mean I can remeber how afriad I was of guys like Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, LOD, Ron Simmons, Hacksaw, and Brody. When I see a guy like AJ or Red I'm like hey I can take him. I'm saying I can but when people think of wrestlers they think of monsters. I know size shouldn't mean anything but it does. My mother isn't a wrestling fan at all. She watched a little bit of TNA this past Thrusday. The one guy she noticed more then any other was Rob Terry. She couldn't get over how huge he is. Big guys get attention no matter where they're. For example we know Matt Sydal is a better worker then Mark Henry. Yet and still if Henry crush him nobody notice but the IWC. Causal viewers are harder to impress with workrate. Like I said I love watching the little guys but I see where Hulk's coming from. |
