So according to numerous sources The “Hitman” has resigned with Vince McMahon and the WWE. Of course I am naturally shocked I mean this is the guy who got sold out by the devil’s incarnate and is returning. However, I am also anxious to see what they do with him. Of course if Shawn and Bret don’t cross some sort of path then we will be shocked but is the move to have DX win the Tag Titles the move that they’ve talked Shawn into just working Tuesdays to avoid clashes with Bret or Bret is coming to SmackDown to help his Hart Dynasty brethren.
If I was in the TNA camp right now I would be shitting myself with the debut of Hogan looking now even more doomed than just competition from The Rock (which if Bret is coming back looks doubtful) even though The Rock on Raw looked very dangerous if TNA want to win a war with the giant. As Vince said in “The Monday Night Wars DVD” that was released in 2004 that highlighted WWE’s own battle with the now defunct company WCW “You never want to go toe-to-toe with that giant” which is exactly the problem with TNA. A company struggling to get out of the 1.0 rating zone on a Thursday Night when they are unmatched by any other wrestling promotion. Of course, the master plan was to unveil the most over superstar in Wrestling Hulk Hogan. Which was the greatest idea ever. How could Raw possibly compete with Hogan? I mean non-wrestling fans of now who watched in the 80s would probably tune in just to see the Hulkster strut his stuff. Not to mention the smarks and casual fans. However, WWE have combated any threats and played their ace card Bret. I mean love him or despise him the episode he returns on is bound to be controversial. Hogan someone who most people will get sick of or Bret who is the most controversial topic in Pro-Wrestling. I’d say those 80s marks will have a hard time staying with Hogan when they know on the other channel Hart is ripping into the company.
TNA have perhaps tested Vince’s patience TOO far. They tried to intimidate a man who’s seen the NWA, AWA and WCW come and go. Is TNA just another “Rise and Fall” DVD?
