-Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have signed with TNA. The announcement was made this afternoon in New York City, while Hogan was at a press conference at Madison Square Garden for his new book. Dixie Carter was among those in attendance.
-Because of Ric Flair's association with Hulk Hogan's November tour in Australia, there are rumors that Hogan signing with TNA may mean Flair is soon to follow. It seems that Flair and TNA have talked recently about the possibility of Flair being brought in in some aspect.
-Hulk Hogan was on Larry King Live last night to promote his book, but was asked about TNA. Hogan would not state if he was going to wrestle for the group. The general understading at this point is that Hogan will wrestle around 4-6 times a year at most, but will appear regularly on pay-per-views and TV for TNA.
-Radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge said on his show that he saw Hogan's TNA contract and he and Eric Bischoff are bookers. Most others are contrasting this with the statement that Hogan will have a part in the creative process, including all involving his character, but will not be running all of TNA. Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera are expected to continue their role on the creative team. Jeff Jarrett's future is now way up in the air, as he and Hogan have had problems in the past, and with his current TNA problems, he may have no friends to help him out.
-Rob Van Dam, Diamond Dallas Page and Stone Cold Steve Austin are now rumored to be joining TNA with the signing of Hogan. TNA was in heavy negotiations in recent weeks with Van Dam and he was also backstage at TNA's last pay-per-view, Bound for Glory. With Austin's acting career fizzling, it seems he may be open to the idea. Page wants to work a limited schedule, and this may keep TNA from signing him to a contract.
