This is true.
He personally picked the 20 wrestlers who said 'yes, I need the money'. |

I wouldn't mind seeing Hulk live, but the rest of the card is a bit "meh".

To be honest, it doesn't sound too bad. I mean, the stars are actually pretty good stars. I'd rather see a lot of them than Nicky X-Hardcore from whatever indy promotion. There's a grand feeling to the tour.
Part of me does wish that this sort of re-sparks Hogan and Bischoff's interest in starting their own promotion. They could perhaps get Ric Flair and Jim Cornette in on it. Make a lot of plays for top talent who can still work, and try and get some independent talent in on the scene. It'd be just like TNA, except with more money. |

I thought Gangrel was happy with his new job in directing or producing porn. I forget which it was.

I wish Eddie Fatu would move away from the Umaga/Rumaga gimmick, and sort of embrace a more human persona. Yeah, he played the savage better than it had any right to be, but the guy was so fearsome and credible in the ring that I feel he could be quite the star. I feel that the character is a bit of an achor, really.
TNA should look into signing the guy, if they can. He's one of those guys who can pretty much work in any divison TNA has. He along with Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy -- although those two have a much, much smaller chance of signing with TNA. |

Yeah... They should get Flair to headline the tour in singles matches with Hogan...
![]() I am trying to think of who is still capable of a tour, who isn't employed by Vince, isn't a Vince loyal and doesn't plan on working for him in the future. And is free to do it. I can only think of Waltman and Goldberg. Maybe DDP as well. Goldberg knocked it back because of the money offered... So maybe this is as close to as good as it could have ever been, for what it is. If they did it in England, I reckon I would go. |

RVD has an open door policy with Vince. He isn't going to TNA for shit.

I don't know if appearing on this tour is exactly a kiss of death to talent wanting to get back into the WWE, though. I mean, it's just a venture Hogan is doing to make money. At the risk of sounding like Noid, there are plenty of misused guys over the years that could do it (U-Gene, Basham & Damaja, Rob Conway, etc.). DDP has actually been rumoured for it, as has Sean Morley, Paul Wright and Ken Anderson. I think Anderson is an especially good pick, as he can work, and he was actually sort of somebody. They also reached out to Jeff Hardy, which is not very likely, but again, Jeff is probably big enough to get away with doing it. He doesn't plan on going back to the WWE immediately, and he has his messes to clear up. |

It should be Roomaga and he should look like the offspring of a Samoan Bulldozer and a Kangaroo.

Holy fuck, you're actually right. For some reason I had always thought it was Paul Wright. And not because of Big Show. I've got no clue where I got that from. Is his middle name Paul, or something?
