What are Hogan/Bischoff doing right in TNA?

[don]

There are so many threads around here expressing negativity and venom at the Hogan/Bischoff regime. What are some of the things they have done that you like? What are some of the positives of Hogan's TNA?

-I like the fact that they signed RVD. It's good to see him have one more run.

-I like the fact that Samoa Joe has returned to his original form and seems to have stopped all the Nation of Violence foolishness.

-I like Hogan's shoes.....
(boy, this is harder than I thought it would be. They have really been hurting this company.)

-I like seeing Jay Lethal being showcased more prominently.

RVD is a good signing for TNA, and I'm not sure he would've signed if not for Hogan and Bischoff. And while I'm not personally a fan, Anderson is a good fit as well. They also got Mick Foley off TNA tv and are responsible for Chef Jarrett. That's about it.

Let Christopher Daniels go back to ROH.


I like that they've given RVD another run in a major company.

I liked Douglas Williams' X-Division title reign.

By bringing in Bubba the Love Sponge, I like that we got to see him get knocked the f*** out.

Love seeing Kazarian on my television again.

[Super Nintenjoe KBD]

Pushes for Williams and Lethal, live episodes, bringing in Anderson and Kendrick, the Horsemen faction and old school Joe.

I like the voting for number one contenders.

[HMARK Center]

Allowing heels to be heels, so fans can love to hate them, instead of pop for them...no, it'll never be perfect, but guys like Anderson and Morgan have become excellent heels.

Samoa Joe killing fools.

X-Division, believe it or not, is getting showcased now more than it was for about the past year.

Against All Odds and Lockdown were very good pay per views, on the whole.

There's been a solid amount I'm not so keen on, but they haven't been nearly as bad as portrayed, either. Still wish TNA would get more sound in their booking, but I guess we won't see that any time soon.

[WWE Trademarked My Name]

Making Mr. Anderson look like a legitimate star.

Signing RVD and Jeff Hardy.

[BayleyTiffyCodyCenaJudyHopps]

Orlando Jordan's theme song.

- Overall, the Impact Zone looks much better with the additional and bigger 'trons (I'm still not sold on the ramp though); Plus the centered entryway looks a little better than the circle portals

- The TNA logo nows looks cleaner and legible

- "WheelFlair" was fun while it lasted; I'm digging the "New Four Horsemen"

[stylesclashwoooo]

RVD almost definately wouldnt have signed before hogan and bisch.

CHELSEA

the four sided ring.

The voting for #1 contender

Anderson, kazarian, hardy, the return of joe killing people, and RICK FLAIR.

Guilty TNA pleasure, the band!

I don't know if this was Hogan/Bischoff, but:

Douglass Williams

Other than that ... . um . ..I like the film quality interviews they do. Those are cool.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Signing and Pushing RVD and Anderson. Both so far been great signings. Anderson been an awesome heel.

Pushing The Pope as well as a singles push for Douglas Williams.

Hoping Jeff Hardy doesn't get charged then he will be another good signing.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Well, firing Bubba The Love Sponge was a great idea, but then again, they're responsible for that sack of goo having a job in the first place, so that one's kind of a push.

I DO like that they basically killed the Suicide character, and allowed Kazarian to come back to TNA as himself, and that they didn't have some ridiculously convoluted storyline to explain it.

[Deleted]

Pushing The Pope. It sucks he is injured right now.

[Natalya's Ass Fanboy]

I don't know what all Hogan and Bischoff are directly responsible for, but the things I've enjoyed most since they're arrived...

• The resurrection of the X-Division
  
• Brilliant Douglas Williams' push (A technician who can actually talk and has charisma? Chris Benoit and Lance Storm must be rolling over in their graves.)
  
• Mr. Anderson's arrival (the best heel in the industry by a huge margin)
  
• The Pope's arrival (can you not tell this guy is a long-time NWA fan? He's like Dusty and Flair with a side order of The Rock)
  
• Ric Flair's arrival (amazing how his character has evolved from playboy to psychopath yet remained brilliant)
  
• A.J. Styles being given a character and actually being interesting
  
• The slow formation of wrestling's next great stable (Flair & co.)
  
• A blossoming tag team division with both old and new teams
  
• Bringing in a superstar who can still put on A+ matches (RVD)
  
• Bringing in a legitimate megastar who can put on A+ matches (Jeff Hardy)
  
• The Global Title being made prestigious via Rob Terry being unstoppable.
  
• Not pushing anyone just because they're really pale and work out with Kurt Angle
  
• The return of Samoa Joe the machine
  
• The desire to put on a live show to compete with the WWE (trying > not trying; ambitions > no ambitions)
  
• Phasing out the Knockouts division (womens wrestling, at it's best, is mediocre compared to the men)

I could go on.

[Jimichiro Likes Erick Rowan]

TNA right now has a much more organic feel to it. I feel like I'm watching guys being themselves, just with the volume turned up. I also love the level of unpredictability TNA has right now. The shows aren't formlatic & plodding.

you're my new best friend whether you like it or not

i have another fan boy to help defend TNA with, YAY!!!

[Arturo Classico]

In my book pretty much nothing. The best thing they've done is push The Pope and Mr. Anderson. However everything else they've has counteracted this so basically in the weight metaphor the cons of TNA are Yokozuna at his fattest and pros of TNA is Colin Delaney.

[xxshoyuweeniexx]

Pope and Anderson, they're basically what Miz was to Raw last Summer: A breath of fresh air in a sea of shit.
