Carter tells us, "Brooke is such a great talent who's really sharp and will make a great addition to the TNA family."  |

Actually... As long as Brooke's allotted TV time comes out of the time currently given over to Bischoff, Hogan, Flair et al, I'm not honestly that bothered - same amount of time given over to overlong skits and vignettes, just a different goon who's actually doing it.
One way or another Hogan is going to give his little girl a leg-up in the entertainment industry. And if having her as the KO's "authority figure" stops her from stepping into a recording studio ever again, then as a TNA fan, I'd be glad to make that sacrifice. For now.

It's insane, like, look at Tara. She came from the same group in OVW that had John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjiman. That's where she came from. What is Brooke going to advise her on?
Mickie James, coming up in the indies, going through every wrestling organization to being one of the few female draws in professional wrestling, what is Brooke going to advise her on?
Gail Kim is another one, working the indies in Canada, dealing with bullshit in WWE, being the toast of TNA and them not wanting to pay her what she deserves, I bet Brooke can show her what's what, especially with her big ass contract.
And I think ODB is the strangest case because ODB didn't have the big time money jobs that Mickie and Tara had. ODB scratched and clawed her way through the indies. Listening to the Art of Wrestling podcast, and her sleeping on people's couches, and working with a popped breast implant for months on end. If you want to talk about someone who has worked through the hard times in professional wrestling, it's her. And what is this chick with a silver spoon up her ass going to advise ODB on?
Oh, let's not forget Sarita. Working throughout the indies in Canada and then going down to Mexico, quite the pleasant place Mexico is. Working hard and being successful down there. What is Brooke going to advise her on?
Angelina Love, another girl who worked throughout the indies in Canada, struggling and getting a WWE developmental contract, losing that, not knowing when the next indy date is gonna be, finally getting an opportunity to make it in TNA.
How about Winter, who jumped off balconies in Europe to get her name out there. I'm sure Brooke could teach her a thing or two. Especially about passion and desire to make it in wrestling.
If it's a Karen Jarrett role, I think it could be ok. I'm sure he doesn't think this, but Brooke is going to get mega heat, especially if they go outside the Impact Zone. I'm sure you could put her with any midcard heel and she's such a solar panel that it will give that heel some extra heat. Though it could lead to a nice angle where Hogan and Brooke have a big storyline on tv.

TNA will never progress unless they cut ties with Hogan/Bischoff, and their offspring.

At least Bischoff, Hogan, and Flair have accomplished something in wrestling. They mean something to wrestling fans. Brooke Hogan being on a wrestling TV show is a complete slap in the face to the entire roster. Every second that she's on is a disgrace. How low do you think morale will be in that dressing room? And that she'll also have a backstage role as well, helping the Knockouts develop their characters and working with them on promos!? It's unfathomably stupid, everything about it, and I can't believe that ANYONE could say anything remotely un-negative about this. |

I'd agree if she weren't being brought on to "advise" women who have more experience in the business that Brooke willl ever have. If she were just coming on to say things into the camera and waive her boobs around, that'd be one thing, but the fact that she's supposed to be somehow advising actual wrestlers is pretty silly. |

... Can't we have someone who can talk well? Or in an entertaining fashion? Or hasn't gotten the job purely because no one else in the entertainment industry is interested in her and its a vain attempt to keep her relevant due to her father's influence? Or invest the inevitable time and effort that'll be put into attempting to give her legitimacy in a Knockout division that has seen better days. Or have the money invested in her further invested and rewarding same said division.
Its pure nepotism and thats just sad, wherever it happens.

If she wants to get into wrestling, she should be setting up the ring and learning from the existing Knockouts, not trying to coach them on how to do their jobs better, it makes zero sense. It's like having a 5 year old teach kindergarten to a class of kindergarten teachers. |

Granted Brooke has experience in television. Even Stephanie, who also grew up around the business went to school and got her degree. She also slowly worked her way up in the company. |

It's like having a 5 year old teach kindergarten to a class of kindergarten teachers. Except Brooke is not going to be showing Sarita how to run the ropes or tie up in a grapple LIKE A BOSS or whatever. Here role breaks down like this: -TV GM for the women: Same with Traci, Karen & others before her, being given words and lines of what to set up and just settle stuff written about by the writers. -Help with entrance music: Yeah, i know Brooke's musical career is pretty much blah, but she did have ties to musicians and to professional production equipment, thanks to her old man shoving money into that career like coal on a train. Could make an improvement from the digital format and country gear they have currently. -Promos and character development: This is the s*** that is getting everyone's knickers in a twist. Still, she's not gonna be the only one doing this, cause that is also gonna be the agents job. Though, considering her style isn't different from some wrestlers' (Madison & Gail, Velvet, Angelina), it could just focus on that. And really, what experience would someone need to be suitable as a non-wrestler? Pretty much any wrestling school just teaches wrestling, not TV production or how to handle a format like that. |

So Brooke's basically being brought in to a do a job that she's only barely going to do?
Use connections in music industry to get better entrance music.
Despite the fact that she's never cut a promo or developed a character AND the fact that others will be the ones doing the heavy lifting, she's needed to help wrestlers who have developed their own characters and cut tons of promos learn how to do that better?
As an on-screen authority figure, unless she can't work the stick, she can't be any worse than any other KO Law, but the rest...I don't get it at all. It just sounds like neopotism, which y'know, hey, that's not new in wrestling, but she's just so blantantly unqualified its ridiculous.
Why not have her do that in OVW first to get her feet wet? If she shows promise there, then bring her to TNA.

Not every problem involved in wrestling can go to development or Japan or whatever and just go "Problem Solved!" |

Not every problem involved in wrestling can go to development or Japan or whatever and just go "Problem Solved!" OVW will at least give her SOME kind of experience being a GM, if only for the live crowd. I remember when the Miz took over on Smackdown...oi vey, what a mess. She can work with the guys at OVW on developing a character and stuff. Actually OVW will train her for quite a bit in regards to working on a wrestling show. I mean, what's the point of putting someone with zero experience into a job that requires quite a bit of talent/know-how? You say there's nothing beyond "talking and looking pretty," but I don't know man, speaking in front of a live crowd is daunting, especially a wrestling crowd. |

Sinister, I'm just surprised you'd defend this of all things. Of all the things for all the years, Hogan bringing in his daughter to an on-screen role. Straight up nepotism to the 2984th degree. Loss for words here, man. This is dumb no matter which way you frame it. Can't see TNA gaining from this in any way. I also don't see her working for free. Stupidity.

This is completely indefensible. The knockouts don't need new music, they need time on the show and some storylines that extend to more than calling each other sluts and bitches. She can teach absolutely nothing to the roster, not a damn thing. Even using her as an on screen GM is a waste of time, when has she proven she can cut a promo? Dixie is throwing money down a bottomless pit with no reward in sight.
