The only thing streamlined about the booking is that it flows through Hogan. The Hogan/Abyss stuff should have put Abyss over huge, but it was played for comedy, then quickly dropped. The Hogan/Morgan stuff should be turning Morgan into a top-tier star, but he's still being fed to legends. The only real "rub" anyone in TNA got from Hogan being around is Bully Ray.

Now, I'm not a Hogan hater. He gets huge pops wherever TNA goes. But at this point, there are still no new eyes on the product and the top stars now are the same ones that were the top stars when Hogan came (except Ray), so there's been no discernible positive effect of having Hogan around for the company. It's not hurting TNA by any means, but I don't see how it's helping.
