The Honky Tonk Man posted the following blog:

As an outsider looking in, I see the end of TNA. Is Hogan a double agent? Dumping Jarrett a few weeks ago, Russo having heat with every heart beating person on the planet to now work beside Hogan. Don't think so.

Hogan and WWe have been in bed for the last 20 years. Look what happened with the coke (cocaine) league XWF. As soon as they did all the tapes for to sell to TV, WWe pulled all the top players i.e. Hogan, Henning, Lawler and the list went on, thus killing XWF after they spent 30 million dollars.

This Dixie Carter has fell into the arms of the Hillbilly Jarretts, the Vince "man of God" Russo who said anyone over 30 was too old for the business! Now of all people, she wants to throw money at Eric Bischoff and Hogan. Good for you Hulkster, hope you kick some cheese back to Vince. I see the scam. TNA dead in 12 months.

WWe kills from the inside you idiots. WCW was the master plan. XWF was the next victim. ROH will fall when Vince wants them to go away. As long as they are not a PPV or TV threat, they will live on. Not wrong, just good business. Let the other guys spend and spend and spend, then take the top guys and the promotion starts to die. Tie up the buildings where they have no place to run. Case in point, WWe will tie up any buildings around the world after they see the numbers of the Hogan Aussie Tour.

Do you think for one minute WWe is going to let Hogan and Flair tour the world for TNA? Not going to happen.

Till we meet again,
Adios

Well, HTM has a better idea of how the backstage wrestling scene works than any of us! Does sound a bit like a conspiracy theory though!

Wait, so Double J IS actually gone from TNA now?

i say TNA wont die in 12 months as Hogan has some big draw power now is the time for TNA to really spend the money to make them big right after raw they should put a commercial about Hogan being somewhere else like they did about the dog show when raw was post poned a few years ago and after a WWE ppv they usually air one TNA PPV commercial but if flair and hogan run TNA they might stand a miniscule chance at actually being decent

TNA is planning a new show for Monday nights rto go head to head with Raw, so in my eyes they may already be spending said money to compete with WWE in more aspects. let's wait to see how things play out.

Sources in TNA have claimed that a meeting would be held this week with Spike TV in regards to moving Impact to Monday night from 8-10 PM against RAW.

However, Spike TV's Brian Diamond said there would not be a time slot change right now. According to Diamond, their initial goal right now is to use Hogan to strengthen the Thursday night time slot. He also said that the deal came together so quickly and they are still figuring out a long-term game plan.

That's the most sensible option too. Though Impact usually beats WWE in ratings in the UK (even when head-to-head) etc, it gets trounced in America!

The wise thing for TNA would be to target the B show first: SmackDown!

They're not ready to compete with RAW right now, not even Hogan will be able to bring the ratings they want as all he'll probably do is fill a role like Foley, but with more backstage influence.

However, if this can dethone Kurt Angle from his HHH-ish position... I mean, if you had the choice between Kurt Angle who only wants to sign TNA rejects and the Hogan-Bischoff duo, which can definitely pull something bigger (as long as they don't just put themselves on the front row like they did with WCW, let's ope they learned from their mistakes..), the choice is pretty easy because whoever has some influece and wrestling experience can be the boss there as Dixie can't hold her pants and put her foot on the ground when she should.

I think TNA will rise above the current PG-rated WWE fast.
