Okay these guys are beyond 'SMARK', Hogan outside the ring is a financial disaster. He's had more businesses (Property, Movies, Restaurants) Go Under than Bush 43, and was partially responsible for the demise of WCW. I want to know whatever made Dixie Carter think that Hogan can run a Business, much less a wrestling company
TNA goes to Monday to take over RAW...Hogan and Flair in action...and ...OMG... a 1.0 rating!!?!!!? The LOWEST TNA RATING since Hogan came on board.. TNA had better ratings in 2009!! (Raw did a 3.4).. TNA is going BACKWARDS..even the true TNA fans are NOT buying this crap, sad excuse for wrestling... TNA is losing money by the second...salaries for Hogan, Flair, and now RVD..maybe Hardy..etc.. NOBODY CARES... horrific ratings... going to Monday ..a HUGE FAILURE... nothing left to say... SAD!
It's Official !!! The expected live TNA iMPACT! set for March 1 has been cancelled, according to numerous sources. No Monday episodes are in the schedule at this time. (.... the ratings will continue to fall, and Hogan will be gone soon.....not working, new fans aren't watching TNA, and they are losing money left and right)
Next hogan will start bringing in more of his buddies like hacksaw jim duggan and brutus beefcake .
TNA was unique it stood out
notice raven and daffney and richards are no longer on tna ?that is because hogan has refused to use them anymore he is letting their contracts run out then not hire them back .
Hogan will kill tna just like he killed wcw . hulk hogan is a piece of shit like mcmahon he leaches off people.
I hope TNA does grow a little because at the end of the day it will never be real competition for Vince,if anything if TNA start to get a hold of things it will make the WWE work harder and competition is good for wrestlers and the fans,but if TNA want to be taken serious they can`t put all their energy into guys in their 50`s and they really need to quit putting Vince and WWE over on their shows that just ain`t bright.
Tna was ok. I watched it. It's gonna take time to grow. They're not bringing back the old nwo. Xpac Is a hack and a ratings killer. The new version of 4life will have Nash and angle and they will go from there. This won't be a 2 day overhaul, this will take months to get this product on the top of prime time. I'm intrigued how this will all develop, I'm gonna keep watching for now.
the fat guy was right though. They did the hogan angle in the beginning and lost viewers. They really should have waiting until the last hour to do so. Especially considering you shoulda knmew bret hart was going to appear in the beginning.
TNA has better in ring action than the WWE . WWE, with each passing day , is becoming just like an afternoon soap opera. Hopefully TNA will grow bigger .
nice to see Maven presenting the show anyway lets all be totally honest WWE has 3 sold out arena shows a week in arenas with 15,000 TNA cant get more than 800 in 1 show a week.WWE has great young talent getting pushed TNA is signing every WWE hasbeen they can get.WWE is global selling out shows across the world TNA went to Sheffield in England and we were asked if we wanted to sit near the front to fill it out a bit lol. There is no war TNA aint big enough.
@taker328 I agree. I think people are "stuck" liking the WWE because they are used to it. TNA should be gaining more ground that it has been, and it will once the people holding onto WWE's pant legs learn to just let go and move on.
TNA is not worse.. u fucking kidding me? The last PPV was awesome...
Kurt Angle vs Desmond Wolf!
AJ Styles Vs Daniels!
IF you think TNA is worse.. then you must be fucking blind man or you just happen to not watch it at all! Don't criticize something you dont watch man cause its fucking awesome.
Steel Asylum X Division match tonight on Impact is going to blow any Raw match away completely.
LOL. If you think that TNA show was good, than you've never seen a good wrestling show. It was pathetic. It was the first time in many, many months I watched TNA, and I guarantee it will be the last.
Have fun watching the Nasty Boys, the Dudleyz, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, and a bunch of other guys mostly in their 50s (ok, Flair is in his 60s).
Pathetic. And the ratings will prove it when RAW smokes Impact.
If you think that was as good show (or even a good segment), you're the blithering idiot. Don't procreate. In fact, just kill yourself so you can't.
And how the hell does a cage match end in a DQ? That was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Well, despite bringing in all the old WWE has-beens. What was the point of that?
And no, that guy WAS supposed to climb through the top. When they saw that he couldn't, they sent the other guys in to get him out of panic. If it was supposed to happen, the camera wouldn't have missed him falling to the mat.
God you're stupid. Did your mother smoke crack when she was pregnant?
Does anyone remember wcw and the nwo? The nwo, while a compelling storyline was the end of wcw. And while hogan does have star power and helped wcw rule the ratings, he was also a main ingredient in the downfall.
Hulk joining TNA wont help TNA at all you cant make money off of someone elses hard work Hulk needs to re-invent the wreslting business put hulk and Bishoff in the back keep them in the back to run things then and only then TNA will make money and continue to get ratings
theres no way TNA sould bring in jimmy hart,the nast boys, brutus beefcake or anyone else like that , they sould refuse if hogans wants them brought in
Jimmy Hart is NOT a has-been. Hes obvisously a legend manager, this and that, this and that..BUT hes still got it, he doesn't need to be in a top physically shape like the wrestlers (well most of the wrestlers) are. He'd be a big hit
doesnt matter wwe is goin strong...well with smackdown then raw with talent, but vince will always bring the heat....wrestlemania 26 is supposed headline undertaker vs the rock..in his last match
no there will not be an nwo because that brand faction is owned by wwe thats why tna had to use the faction name main event mafia witch is basically nwo just they dont use the name cause they could get sued
Hogan is the man and he can help TNA only if TNA help Hogan. Vince will make sure Hogan don't become the Bret Favre of wrestling mark my words. if Hogan is the Bret Favre then Vince is in trouble. cause Eric say's Shane O'Mac is the new GM of TNA and flair isn't coming back
i agree with dave herro vince russo is a terrible writer. Meat says russo gets shit on everyday but thats because people see the product hes put out for three years now and it has not appealed to the masses. he might be good in meatheads mind but the average person will tell hes horrible.
If TNA does an hour of X division style fast paced matches and an hour of the big guy stuff there is no way Meat head will stop watching. Man you watch far worse now on Raw and TNA as is. It's bad enough WWE lies to us you don't have to lol.
Question for the team. Is it important that TNA changes their name as even in the UK we know what TNA means. Or is it too late as they would feel the name is too big. Look at the WWE though and their get the F out thing. Bare in mind no one I know has heard of TNA so maybe a name change would be a good thing.
well u can sit there and defend a pg rated show. the only reason it gets money is kids bugging their parents for cena armbands. and dont think making the shows rating M would not give money because didnt mean kids still never watched it.
He wasn't defending he was stating fact. I think your a little ignorant if that's all you think gets WWE Money. The buy rates of the PPVs far excells TNA, and the shows get alot grander ratings. Yes WWE isnt perfect, but it isn't poor, as far as I'm concerned it does alot more than TNA, earns more, not just because of Cena. That's fact, not some assuming, ignorant person making things up.
Dude I'm not defending the PG rating, to be honest I don't like it myself seeing as the superstars feel alot more watered down.
Fact of the matter is this, The likes of John Cena and DX are extremely marketable towards children. That age demographic brings in the highest amount of money and Vince is taking advantage of that, much like he did with Hogan in the 80's.
Plus FSADM, WWE turned PG before Linda McMahon went into politics.
Its all about they money guys, thats what matters.
well if he going to call the shots than if i were him first things i would do is change the ring to a four sided ring i would tell jay lethal to get rid of his horrible gimmick or leave i would get rid of suicide.get rid of all the old wwe stars but keep angle oh and fire russo.thats the first things i would do if i was him.but who knows we have to wait and see what happens
i get how signing hogan is good for ratings but for entertainment i dont think he will be very good at all has reached the point in his career where his wrestling just isnt very enjoyable
hogan didnt make wcw. nwo made wcw. hogan was in wcw for a while before wcw took off. people give hogan too much credit for wcw being successful. that being said, the nwo wouldnt of been so huge without hogan being the "3rd man". i dont think you can give him all the credit for making wcw.
Nice coverage, but a little nitpick - we saw vignettes and past videos of the nWo leading into No Way Out 2002. The first 'LIVE' show we saw of the gang 'technically' was at the end of the HEAT episode the night of the PPV, where they showed the trio walking backstage and JR saying, "They're here, I was afreaid they would show...." right as the show ended, going to No Way Out on PPV, with the opening nWo promo.
lol, tna sucks... they push any old wwe-reject to main event or title belt. They even made a terrible Legends Title just for these old diaper-wrestlers. And they say tna push younger talents...
Now here is a question is Booker T gone from TNA not just for the talent issue with Morgan ect but part of Hogan coming in. Did he wait for JJ to go. Or has it nothing to do with a receipt and a ridiculous conspiracy theory lol. Fuck me the Hero guy just sits there so smug disagreeing with the guys for the sake of it. Just my opinion mind. No offence if he reads this I just can't stand him.
You have to admit that Meathead has no idea what he's talking about though. He's just a fanboy who drinks the koolaid "Cena is the only reason people tune in", "Russo does a great job", "AJ is the face of the company". What a fucking idiot.
Jerry Sags is dead, so no Nasty Boy reunion. but, Brutus Beefcake and Brian Knobbs could form the "new Nasty boys" which would be the end...of tna :'(
Damon i dont know how much trouble it would be but I would love it if you posted some of those oldeer episodes of the PWR if at all possible. I really enjoyed the first one from 1998 and its cool to see how you and the team have come over the past decade and a bit.
I'm think Ric Flair will join TNA as they have been wanting him for awhile and a Hogan vs Flair match makes sense. Also it is going to be interesting on how they make the show interesting next week.
When WWE viewers start watching TNA this past week or next week, they will be amazed and be like; Taz on TNA announcing "Boom" recognisable face and voice right their. Then they have the Kurt Angle and Lashley and the women then Hogan at the end.
people keep saying that this is dumb of TNA. Let me tell you something, this is one of the smartest moves they could make. Hogan is the biggest star in the wrestling world. People try to bash him because of what he did in WCW, but this is not WCW this is TNA. TNA will not let Hogan run wild like he did in WCW. They will do good things with him. And this is not dumber than the celebrity guest host thing on RAW. So all you fans just chill out, i'd rather see Hulk Hogan than boring young guys.
Hogan and Bubba the Love Spongs are going around spreading lies about how "HOGAN'S RUNNING THE COMPANY!" and "HOGAN'S GOT THE BOOK!". If you read this anywhere don't believe it, It's utter and complete BS.
I think this is something TNA had to do,with TNA its a damned if they do and damned if they dont ,in our current climate in wrestling,the new fans of wrestling have been groomed to only accept WWE ,thats a stone cold fact,they have been taught by Vince mcmahon and other dirt sheet pieces of trash,to hate annything non -wwe, that is a fucking fact,I dont care for new fans,I dont care for there wannabe booker attitudes ,new fans are incapable of just having fun,they have to over analyze everthing
they are correct @ 27:49, i have never watched TNA in my life but just to see hogan in a TNA enviornment will make me tune in to watch TNA, not the entire show, not because of TNA, the only reason will be because of HOGAN. i'm not a big fan of hogan, i just grew up watching hogan. after hogans clip on TNA then i will change the channel to watch something else.
you missed my point, i have never watched TNA, the only reason why i would watch TNA is because of HOGAN. thats why HOGAN is good for any wrestling federeation, he'll draw high ratings and draw fans wrestling fan or non-wrestling fans.
if TNA uses HOGAN role in TNA's oganazation properly, they may get fans to watch the complete 2 hours. right now its just the HOGAN clips. WCW used his character properly (eg:NWO) although it wasnt 2 hours of HOGAN, it was all HOGAN related.
if you look at it in a positive way, you have guys like me that never watch TNA that are changing channels to see whats happening in the world of TNA.. who know's i might end up enjoying the show.
also i dont watch wwe programs as often anymore, i'm just a fan who grew up watching saturday afternoon wrestling.
lol - i know its going to be BROTHER this and BROTHER that. its the creativity that that he contributes that will lure other fans to the TNA product. this will probably help the younger talent in TNA.
i was never a wcw fan until nwo formed, i ended up watching both raw and nitro for 2 years.
maybe he likes hulk hogan more then other wrestlers he doesn't have to like the other wrestlers I only watch TNA now because hulk hogan and before I only watch for kurt angle :/
It was a 1.3, which really isnt bad considering it went head on with the World Series which had 18 million viewers! TNA was actually the best rated show on Spike, which is a constant nowa days.
I don't know about Knobbs he walks with a cane sometimes and I just don't see him wrestling. Jimmy Hart can make some awesome theme music. I'd love to see him come back and either manage or make music.
Hogan is a cancer to wrestling now.Say goodbye to AJ,Daniels, & Joe(they might go back to ROH)& alot of TALENTED WORKERS & say hello to the same old,same old.
dude u cant say that yet the way i c it as long as Hogan na dBishoff under some sort of control and Hogan isnt given the world title this is only gunna help TNA
I hope dixie doesn't let Hogan run wild, because she likes the new talent & especially AJ & Morgan & Hernandez, Dixie doesn't seem like she's going to let anyone walk all over her, so if she keeps Hogan etc, tamed then this will benefit TNA alot, but Jarrett was pissing all over TNA in the last year with giving Mick Foley the title, so for me anything/even this, is good news.
Hogan made WCW but so did Eric Bischoff. Bischoff created Monday Nitro, Bischoff made Nitro go live, Bischoff went head to head with Raw, Bischoff created the nWo, Bischoff signed all the big name stars - Hogan, Savage, Luger, Nash, Hall, Piper, Bret Hart.
DHHS - The Nasty Boys will be in TNA! LOL And it came true!

It is going to be interesting to see if WWE RAW ratings remained the same or declined, while TNA ratings ended up with a spike.

hogan didnt make wcw. nwo made wcw. hogan was in wcw for a while before wcw took off. people give hogan too much credit for wcw being successful. that being said, the nwo wouldnt of been so huge without hogan being the "3rd man". i dont think you can give him all the credit for making wcw.

Nice coverage, but a little nitpick - we saw vignettes and past videos of the nWo leading into No Way Out 2002. The first 'LIVE' show we saw of the gang 'technically' was at the end of the HEAT episode the night of the PPV, where they showed the trio walking backstage and JR saying, "They're here, I was afreaid they would show...." right as the show ended, going to No Way Out on PPV, with the opening nWo promo.

Now here is a question is Booker T gone from TNA not just for the talent issue with Morgan ect but part of Hogan coming in. Did he wait for JJ to go. Or has it nothing to do with a receipt and a ridiculous conspiracy theory lol. Fuck me the Hero guy just sits there so smug disagreeing with the guys for the sake of it. Just my opinion mind. No offence if he reads this I just can't stand him.

You have to admit that Meathead has no idea what he's talking about though. He's just a fanboy who drinks the koolaid "Cena is the only reason people tune in", "Russo does a great job", "AJ is the face of the company". What a fucking idiot.

Great show!
I'm think Ric Flair will join TNA as they have been wanting him for awhile and a Hogan vs Flair match makes sense. Also it is going to be interesting on how they make the show interesting next week.
When WWE viewers start watching TNA this past week or next week, they will be amazed and be like; Taz on TNA announcing "Boom" recognisable face and voice right their. Then they have the Kurt Angle and Lashley and the women then Hogan at the end.
They have the formula right their.

wdillett 2 years ago
people keep saying that this is dumb of TNA. Let me tell you something, this is one of the smartest moves they could make. Hogan is the biggest star in the wrestling world. People try to bash him because of what he did in WCW, but this is not WCW this is TNA. TNA will not let Hogan run wild like he did in WCW. They will do good things with him. And this is not dumber than the celebrity guest host thing on RAW. So all you fans just chill out, i'd rather see Hulk Hogan than boring young guys.

they are correct @ 27:49, i have never watched TNA in my life but just to see hogan in a TNA enviornment will make me tune in to watch TNA, not the entire show, not because of TNA, the only reason will be because of HOGAN. i'm not a big fan of hogan, i just grew up watching hogan. after hogans clip on TNA then i will change the channel to watch something else.
HOGAN is a walking marketing tool.
KR15CO 2 years ago 3
Why would you change the channel after seeing Hogan? You're going to miss the other talented wrestlers on the show.
Volumesofdoom 2 years ago
you missed my point, i have never watched TNA, the only reason why i would watch TNA is because of HOGAN. thats why HOGAN is good for any wrestling federeation, he'll draw high ratings and draw fans wrestling fan or non-wrestling fans.
if TNA uses HOGAN role in TNA's oganazation properly, they may get fans to watch the complete 2 hours. right now its just the HOGAN clips. WCW used his character properly (eg:NWO) although it wasnt 2 hours of HOGAN, it was all HOGAN related.
