More than likely. I'm curious to see if we're going to get any theme for Smackdown for Halloween.

HULK HOGAN JOINS TNA WRESTLING
Legendary Wrestler and Pop Culture Icon Returns To The Ring With Fast-Rising Wrestling Organization

“Hulkamania” is back! The biggest name in professional wrestling history, Hulk Hogan, is joining Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling (TNA), the fastest rising wrestling organization in the world and home to one of cable television’s highest rated shows for young men, TNA iMPACT! The announcement was made today by TNA Wrestling in conjunction with Spike TV at a press conference held in New York City.

“Hulk Hogan is one of the world’s top pop culture icons and the biggest superstar in the history of professional wrestling. We are truly excited to welcome him into the TNA family,” said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Wrestling. “Our goal is to become the world’s biggest professional wrestling company. Hulk defines professional wrestling and we look forward to partnering with him in a variety of ways as we continue to grow TNA globally.”

“I’m thrilled to be jumping back into the world of professional wrestling,” said Hogan. “My fans have been asking me to return to the business for many years on a full time basis, but the timing or the opportunity has never been right until now. TNA Wrestling is a great company with an already excellent fan base, business and broadcast partner. I firmly believe now is the time for some change at TNA as they are positioned to jump to the next level in their development and I’m here to work with Dixie to help make that a reality.”

Through Hogan’s partnership with Bischoff Hervey Entertainment Television, the deal with TNA was negotiated by longtime Hogan colleague Eric Bischoff. Additionally, BHE TV has inked a first-look deal with TNA and will be working with the organization to develop new programming extensions of the TNA brand.

“Hulk Hogan adds yet another level of star power that positions TNA iMPACT as Spike TV’s version of ‘Must-See TV’ on Thursday nights,” said Kevin Kay, president of Spike.

Hogan most recently penned an autobiography with Mark Dagostino, “My Life Outside The Ring” with St. Martin’s Press.

Wow. Who would of thunk it. Didn't know Bischoff was out of the WWE.

[Propellarhead9]

Wasn't expecting an announcement like that since Hulk is about to do a tour with a bunch of people in Australia.

[Propellarhead9]

Now they are also reporting that Ric Flair could be tied into the deal as well because he has a 3 year contract with Hogan to appear on whatever he tells him to appear on.

Wow, I go watch Dexter for three hours and miss this freakin' announcement?! Wow.

How come I heard murmurs on Wrestlezone.com about them moving to Monday night too? Wishful thinking on somebody's part I presume.

Couple noteworthy wishes I've come across on some forums in the last half hour...

- Mr. Kennedy and Jeff Hardy are free agents
- What exactly is Shane McMahon's new job?

And one realistic one on my part, this seems like a way to establish the Main Event Mafia as a rebuilt stable now that it's crumbling... perhaps? I just hope it works out well. Is TNA live this Thursday?

This is the WWE thread not TNA!

[Mike53421]

Haha I'm sure there's a WWE Garbage Dump joke to make here.

EDIT: Wrestlezone.com says...

According to WrestleZone.com's own Mark Madden, TNA will be adding a second weekly show to their television schedule. When, you ask? Monday nights from 8:00-10:00PM ET head-to-head with WWE's RAW.

While the time frame of when this will happen isn't confirmed, we can report exclusively that a second show on Monday's from 8-10PM ET is in the plans right now.

We should have more on this breaking story soon. Keep checking back to the site for more information.

If true, I really like this idea if it helps put more emphasis on the up and comers.

If it wasn't painfully obvious already...

TNA just became WCW chewing up all the WWE has-beens.

If there's hope in any of this, it's that some of the best WWE had to offer was when WCW was going head-to-head with it, I think we can hope for more of the same.

Could we see the next attitude era next year if this move to Monday nights happens???

[DetroitSportsFan]

I wonder how WWE feels about releasing this in 3 weeks.
