Who are Hogan's Cronies that he's going to bring into TNA?

You know, whenever someone talks about his group or cronies or friends, I always think of this:

The most notable cronies are Brutus Beefcake, Brian Knobbs, and Jimmy Hart. After that is the second tier of veteran WWF guys like Jim Duggan, Kamala, etc.

If he's TNA's Vince, then he should have his own set of Stooges.

In the world of course, you would have to put in Bubba the Love Sponge, but hopefully he isn't brought in to TNA for anything. But who couldn't see Beefcake in a DVD saying the lesson learned was you don't mess with Mr. Hogan.

You could say Beefcake is his crony but you also have to remember that they have known each other since they were teenagers. I doubt he just kisses Hogan's ass. I think it is more of a thing like how Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are good friends.

Is it bad that I would actually love him to have the Nasty Boyz as kissass stooges? I don't want them as tag champs or something, but I wouldn't mind them as his bodyguards, especially if they are failures at it like Foley's security. Throw Beefcake in there, too, and Hogan's posse could have a purpose.
Jimmy Hart is just good. I don't mind at all if he comes in with Hogan, you never need an excuse to hire the Mouth of the South, damn it. ;D
Maybe I'm a Jimmy Hart fan. Maybe I happen to know all of the words to Eat Your Heart Out Rick Springfield. But even if I didn't love the guy, I'd think he'd be a good hire with underused manager roles in wrestling.

I think a lot of people forget that Knobbs can't even walk without a cane nowadays. Yeah he might fill some sort of Briscoe/Patterson role but I really don't see him trying any real in-ring stuff. Leslie is a decent bet, probably some stupid bodyguard role like WCW NWO.

Leslie is a decent bet, probably some stupid bodyguard role like WCW NWO. The Nasty Boys are both still active despite Knobbs condition, they had a dark match with the 'E a few years ago(where they decided to stiff Drew McIntyre and Dave Taylor) and 'wrestled' on the Hulkamania tour of Oz. I don't want to see any of Hogan's cronies in for anything more than a cameo now and again. If big names like Sting and Kurt Angle can barely lift TNA ratings, they'll do nothing but take a relatively large paycheck and stink up the ring. I see it like this, in the long term, who will do more for TNA, the immobile Nasty Boys, or hungry tag teams from the indie scene?

Well I think he'll bring in young guys that he claims were with him: RVD, Young Bucks, and Kennedy spring to mind.
Nash gets pissed about no Hall/Waltman so he brings them in on his own.

Hart is a bigger Hogan ass kisser than Leslie and Knobbs.
I expect, Jimmy Hart, Knobbs, Beefcake, and Bubba the Love Sponge

Pro Wrestling Ohio devoted a whole hour to Brutus and Greg Valantine recently. Brutus kept calling Hogan on his cell phone while on the air so Hogan could coach him on what to reply in the interview. They talked about how they were canceling the Australia Tour because Hogan had something in the works here in the states. That was my clue as to Hogan bringing on his pals. Bruti brought up Knobs, Jimmy Hart, and Eric Bischoff as all being involved with Hogan in this new venture. Bruti said Greg Valentine would be included but in a consulting capacity because of his leg injury. Bruti left the interview room when his cell rang again, and came back after a couple minutes and told the interviewer he could say nothing more.
