If Hogan signing a deal was the reason he's in the game, than he is truly just draining tna of money. Add in the fact that he doesn't mention tna during interviews.

His contract ends in october right before the release of the game.
I expect thq to have filmed commercials of hogan and austin facing off to help sell the game.
Also with how much he talks about watching raw and smackdown! Weekly, and his praise of wwe and hhh for the past year. Makes me think once his deal runs out he has a wwe legends deal waiting for him.

TNA is the contract owner for Hulk so they're actually getting a cut of Hulk's video game deal. It's also a positive for TNA because fans may see Hulk and ask "Hey, what's he doing these days?" and see a company called TNA. They do a little research and see they have Hulk, Sting, Hardy, Angle etc etc and tune in.
If the argument is Hulk is using TNA for a pay cheque that may be true but TNA is also using Hulk to benefit them. It doesn't matter if he loves TNA or not as long as he doesn't do the wrong thing by them then it's fine.

If you were to believe Easy E he didn't sign a deal but rather WWE is using stock footage and recycling the models then Hulk may not be doing so well after all

According to Bischoff though Hogan never signed a deal but than again its Bischoff so we can never really be sure

There are 2 highly detailed models of him in the game presumably three if him vs vince is the xix wm moment.
I highly doubt Bisch who owns the rights to hulk's name and likeness wouldn't have made a deal.
Also come on. It is Sleazy E.

I'm pretty sure we'll see him completely bury tna after he leaves, and say that company is doomed now. And then in a twist, tna flourishes because they don't have Hogan keeping them down. That'd be awesome. |

Wrong. Hulk Hogan can licence his trademark image for merchandise purposes through Hogan Holdings Limited Liability Company (Which is a front company Hulk created during his divorce that Eric Bischoff is in charge of). TNA isn't getting any money from the WWE2K deal. TNA may have a contract with Hogan but he retains all money gained from outside endeavors not on company time.

They do a little research and see they have Hulk, Sting, Hardy, Angle etc etc and tune in. RVD was in TNA when he was put in Smackdown Vs Raw 2011, and no one tuned in to TNA to see him. He was constantly being asked to "come back to wrestling" by fans who had no idea he was in TNA. People will not buy a WWE game, and then decide to watch TNA because of Hulk Hogan. |

i'm pretty sure something like this happened before. Remember All Stars? I believe it was something about the way the contract was structured.

Hogan also did "Hulk Hogan's Main Event" a wrestling game for Xbox 360 Kinect, during his time in TNA. There wasn't any other TNA wrestler in that game. Pretty much Hogan can license his name and likeness to whoever he wants. |

Can't be good for morale in the comapny at all. The guy who makes the most money for doing the least work is making more money on the side (again, doing no work) from the #1 company that just 2 years ago he was all about competing with.

I do hope he parts ways with TNA in October. But not bc I think he failed or bc I think he is bad for them. He and Bischoff forced a change in ideas at TNA and while not all were good, in the end they had to evolve. Once gone they will have to create superstars to fill that void. They have main event guys who will then compete to one up each other and take that spot. If they do than the product willbe better for their efforts

I don't know, I think most wrestlers understand the fact that it's Hulk Hogan and his name is just worth more than any other wrestler in the world. |

When I got back into wrestling in 2011, that was my exact reaction to finding out Hogan was in TNA. That and "what idiot would name a wrestling company 'TNA'?" |

Reminds me of someone on here saying that they had a friend say "if AJ Styles is so great, why isn't he in wwe?" Which pretty much sums up what happens when you fill your roster by going dumpster diving in McMahon's garbage. |
