Wow, not just TNA but all of pro-wrestling is screwed if our greatest hope for innovation in this industry is Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman.
And TNA is becoming a real life "Alliance", as it could have practically all of the creative talent involved in the final years of WCW and ECW (Hogan, Bischoff, Heyman, Russo) and a good number of their wrestlers (Jarrett, Steiner, Nash, Sting, Hogan, Rhino, Raven, Stevie Richards, Taz, the Dudleys, and possibly Scott Hall, RVD, Tommy Dreamer and Ric Flair).
If TNA really wants to pop a 3.0 rating, they'll orchestrate a shocking Natural Born Thrillers reunion to open the show.

Heyman as booker would be interesting. I thought this was going to be about Ken Anderson being managed by Paul Heyman. That would be cool, too. Heyman is a good manager. Well, as long as you don't ask him to manage your money.

Bischoff, Russo, and Heyman all together in the same room? Man, they have so much unresolved sexual tension. Things could get hot.

Eh. It would be interesting if it happened, but it's not like TNA's gonna get a 4.0 rating because people will say "Holy crap! Paul Heyman is booking the show!"

I'm hesitant to believe any of these debut rumors. Seems stupid to debut any of these names with no hype. Debut 20 people this week, your ratings will still be the same as if it were no one, because people not watching didn't magically know surprise debuts are happening unadvertised.
Now it'd probably help with next weeks, and TNA obviously thinks Hogan plastered all over ads is enough for this week, but I don't.

I heard it was more a 74% chance than a 75% chance. At least I'm 83% certain about that.

This may or not be good news. From my point of view, anyone would be better than Russo. I'd love to see Kennedy show up...Tommy Dreamer also. When Tommy grabbed his girls up and kissed Beulah the other night I got all verklempt.

Pretty ludicrous article, especially the percentages. I mean, it's not like we're talking about a chance of rain here - by this point, either people are coming in or they aren't. It's just speculation and poorly-founded speculation at that.

Is anyone actually talking about the guys already in TNA like Styles, Daniels, Joe, the Machineguns, the Pope, and Matt Morgan? All I been seeing and reading has been talking about Hulk coming to TNA or who's coming in for the show Monday. How about giving talented guys who been anchoring the company for the last few years some of the spotlight outside a press release? Who's next to probably show up Monday, Trish Stratus, Kenta Kobashi, and the reunion of the Mexicools?

I guess the idea is that if people cared about them, they would already be watching and wouldn't need reminding. The point is to use "known" wrestlers to drag people in and then expose them to TNA's talent.

Wow Heyman, Bischoff, and Russo together is like a dream come true for me. I agree with the people saying they should just broadcast the booking meetings that's gotta be some classic entertainment.

If they used that hype video that aired at the end of Impact on Thursday as the commericial that aired during WWE programming , that would had done more for their cause and showed the stars and action regularly goes on in TNA. Instead of airing the same Hulkamania promo over and over, they could had mixed it up.

And the wrestlers would have to work hard to top three guys legit killing each other.

I heard Bret Hart is going to pull a Rick Rude and appear on Impact in the first hour to wrestle The Rock in a 60-minute Reverse Ironman match with special referee Eddie Guerrero before heading over to RAW for a Live Sex Celebration with Megan Fox.

Ever since I first heard they were friends, I have been obsessed with seeing just one episode of a wrestling program dedicated to Hogan and RVD hanging out. The very idea fascinates me.
