More on Hogan to TNA

Links to all the Torch stories from their Twitter

So, Hogan's in TNA. So is Eric Bischoff. Apparently, Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara still have jobs for now. Also, Kurt Angle apparently pushed for Hogan to come aboard so they can work together. Ric Flair is rumored to be coming aboard as well, since he had that working agreement to wrestle Hogan in Australia. Bischoff ALSO wants to expand TNA's television presence.

...

You let all that digest yet? Good. It's a lot. The balance of power in TNA shifted almost completely in one day, but more questions have probably been generated than have been answered so far. The biggest loser in this deal looks to be Nigel McGuinness so far, because if Hogan came specifically to work with Angle... then whither Nigel? Maybe they'll button that program up neatly at the next PPV before Angle moves on, but that's also really sort of anti what TNA needs right now. Unless Nigel Desmond Wolfe is integrated into that Angle/Hogan program afterwards, it's just the mentality that killed WCW all over again.

Also, opinions seemed to be mixed across the board, but the peeps on the Internet all seem to hate it so far. I'm willing to give it a shot if Hogan is kept in a mostly NPC role on camera and is willing to really work with the younger guys to make TNA a viable competitor. With the things he's said about younger guys in the past, there's a sliver of hope that he gets it now and that he's not really needed in the ring day-to-day to make a company successful.
