- Jim Cornette commented on the decision to sign Hulk Hogan. He said the signing reminded him of why he hated corporate wrestling but got a kick out of the possibility that the news would increase the blood pressure of Vince McMahon. "They have reunited the same team that helped WCW lose more money than any wrestling promotion in history," Cornette wrote on his website. "In all seriousness, of course Hogan's presence will boost ratings, at least in the short term, and one or two PPV appearances over six months or a year will do buys far beyond anything TNA's ever done on PPV. He can get publicity like no one else associated with TNA. Bischoff has proven he can get television deals done, just possibly not GOOD television shows MADE. But to me there are still issues. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara are still writing the show. If a lot of people are looking at a turd, does it smell better? This is not a company-making move unless the extra viewers see a product they can get hooked on when Hogan isn't there or gone." You can read the entire commentary at www.jimcornette.com.
