Didn't he already resign with TNA? There was a report that he did, then a quick correction saying that he hadn't made any deal and he was still a free agent, but it was expected he'd stay with TNA because WWE low-balled him. They've been referencing him a little bit on Impact lately too, so there's that. I'd much rather him be in WWE, he's better as a special attraction in small doses than someone with a ton of backstage clout and an on-screen authority figure gig.

Hulk needs to come home. If Hogan comes back to WWE, I will too.
Hulk Hogan in TNA is like Secretariat at the state fair.

I wish Hulk comes back home to WWE. I can't stand having to watch TNA just to see Hulk Hogan.

The problem with Hogan returning as as a recurring special guest/legend/DVD contributor/ambassador is I don't think Hulk will accept any contract that doesn't offer him a fulltime role on TV. He craves the spotlight and needs the exposure to help plug his various other projects, not to mention the money that being a featured part of every show would bring... Plus for the past few years TNA have given him everything he's asked for, a luxury he won't get in the WWE.
I get the feeling that these negotiations will keep going until the spring as the nearer to Wrestlemania we get, the more valuable Hulk Hogan will become, though I think at this point we'll see him doing pantomime in England before we see him as a fulltime television performer for the WWE, they just don't need him that badly.

www.allwrestling.com/news/55320/hulk-hogan-reportedly-training-wwe/- Hulk Hogan, who is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Hogan's Beach Shop this weekend, still has not signed a deal with TNA and has started to put feelers out to see what major bookings he can get. We noted this past week that Hogan has signed to appear at The Big Event convention on November 9th in Flushing, New York. Hogan is reportedly training for a return to the ring with the idea that if WWE offers him something, he will be ready to go. Hogan has been "training like a mad man" with hopes of getting back in the ring for WWE.

"Even well past his prime, he is still among the two or three highest-paid performers in our business. Is he worth it? Probably at one point he was. His presence on WCW lent instant credibility to their product and helped both television ratings and buy rates tremendously. His heel turn in 1996 was instrumental in leading WCW Nitro to a long run on top of the Monday-night wrestling wars. But at this point? Probably not.
Without a doubt, Hulk Hogan has carved out a place for himself in the annals of pro wrestling history. He was the biggest drawing card in the business in the eighties, and was able to reinvent himself and become a vital part of the nineties. With each passing appearance, in the past two years, however, his value has steadily decreased. Sure, he makes a lot of money. But at some point he needs to step back and realize that he is the captain of a ship that is sinking, and the only way to fix the damn thing is for him to jump off, swim away, and let some newer, hungrier guys take control."
This passage is from Mick Foley's "Foley is Good", from 2001. What's interesting to me is that while it refers to WCW, the second paragraph can just as easily be applied to his time at TNA, more than a decade after the book was written.

If it was just a Legends deal, where he comes back once in a while for a nostalgia pop, that'd be fine. But you just know the guy won't be able to help himself, and will soon be begging the WWE to let him get one more run the ring.

Barring a few matches like the one vs. Orton at Backlash in 2004 or the Wrestlemania 22 match with Edge or the tag match with Edge vs. Dreamer and Funk, this paragraph can easily apply to Mick Foley himself up until recently.

One more match, a random Legends match at Wrestlemania XXX, I could get behind.
Hogan actually involved in an on going storyline and/or anywhere near a title?
No. No I do not feel I would be interested in that.
