With Vince Russo leaving TNA is it safe to say that TNA is not fully saved. With the recent rants from Scott Steiner on twitter is it time Dixie Carter parted ways with Bischoff and Hogan ??
Could it improve TNA ?
Could they survive with Hogan & Bischoff ?]
or should Dixie sell TNA ?? if so to whom ? |

To be honest, I don't think they're killing TNA, but they certainly aren't doing anything to help them. If TNA gets the same ratings now as they did without Bischoff & Hogan, and the PPV buys are lower, then can TNA truly justify the value of their contracts.

I personally don't like seeing Bischoff and Hogan as part of TNA.

Bischoff mainly as a production head. As Cube once said to Dre, "Stick to producin'"
Hogan on the other hand has got to go!!! Go back to Vince as he knows what to do with the Hulkamania brand more than Hogan does

I don't know what Hogan's name does businesswise, but creatively they bring nothing for me.

They do seem to be leeches. I think Bischoff is a great on screen character, but you can't have so many non-wrestlers standing around in the same group/entourage/whateverthehell that they need to cut back. If Hogan is the main authority figure, then get rid of Flair, Sting, and Eric Bischoff. Just keep him around. It was worse when Mick Foley was around, and there were two factions of authority figures.
Dixie needs to sell the company, and that's the only way it will improve. Sell it to Spike, they like it, it brings in ratings, they could probably do a better job with it. The best advice one could give is take everyone in control of the company into one room, throw a grenade and lock the door.

I agree with Brother Kasan. Bischoff is still a valuable asset in terms of production and business accumen. But Hogan has got to go. The guy hasn't meant much in terms of ratings or sponsors (I'm pretty sure TNA could have signed the Direct Insurance and Wrangler Jeans deals w/o The Huckster).
He's simply not worth the money they're paying him...And his promos have gotten progressively worse over the past year or so. Some of the older guys in TNA are worth the money (Sting, Angle, Jarrett)...But Hogan is not one of them.

yes they are. i am of the expert opinion that when russo was there, bischoff and especially hogan were were taking every shitty idea russo came up with and making them even shittier.
hogan is still stuck in the 80s and bischoff is stuck up hogan's ass.

Ever since they've been in TNA, ive completely stopped watching the program. The politics behind the scenes is worse there than the wwe is now.

No one force is killing TNA. The wrestling business itself is dying and living in WWE's shadow isn't helping.

I don't know if they are killing it, but not helping - that's for sure.

Everybody who says that Hogan and Bischoff haven't helped TNA don't know what they're talking about. Impact's ratings in the UK have tripled since Hogan joined the company. During their recent British tour, he was on the mainstream media frequently, resulting in the most successful house shows in the company's history. They signed Jeff Hardy who Dave Meltzer has confirmed is a significant draw. Hogan recruited Rob Van Dam who wouldn't have signed otherwise. Due to Russo's drop down the food chain, he's now quit and Bruce Pritchard is writing instead. Bischoff is very popular with Spike TV executives and represents the company professionally with his years of experience. I know its fashionable to hate Hogan and Bischoff but you guys really need to wake up if you think they've brought nothing to the table. |

Bischoff I do not mind (as long as they get rid of his son).
Hogan on the other hand has no business in TNA, he detracts from everything the company should stand for in terms of youth and offering a different product.

I want to say TNA isn't dying but treading water. Not sure though. I remember someone talking about how people always be working to improve themselves. Never stop learning. He said if you aren't growing you're dying. I try to make that my motto in life and TNA certainly is not growing.
