If Hogan is wrestling, Hogan will be champ. He got a nostalgia run in the WWE, but for the most part they kept him away from the title because they had hotter stars that the fans were paying to see. Does TNA have better talent than Hogan? No doubt. Would Hogan holding the belt outdraw A.J. holding the belt? Probably. That's what it comes down to.

I'm not saying give Hogan the keys to the kingdom. But if he proves to be a bigger draw, he can use that to make other guys bigger draws. Put the title and the spotlight on him and the spotlight will be on everyone else as well.

If Hogan is wrestling, I think he would best give the rub to some guys via the tag team division. Bring in Ric Flair for one PPV match against Hogan, which could draw, and could be marketed as two of the best ever, admittedly past their prime, finding out once and for all who is the best. Hogan wins that match after an Axe Bomber followed by the Leg Drop, but Flair low blows Hogan after the match, and puts him in the Figure Four.

That is strictly for money. No real stars are created directly through Hogan, but hopefully the buys and ratings are up, so a lot more people see, say, AJ Styles vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA World Title.

Then have Hogan move into a program with Eric Young over the TNA Global Championship. Have their PPV end in disqualification when World Elite beats down Hogan, and Young tries to drive him out of the company. So technically Hogan is 2-0 on PPV. Eric Young is screaming in Hogan's face about how TNA is his company, or something, but then Matt Morgan appears on the scene and cleans house on the heels, and saves Hogan's ass.

At Hogan's third PPV, have Hulk Hogan & Matt Morgan team up to challenge The British Invasion for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Hogan plays the face-in-peril, as The British Invasion tear Hogan up, as the "weak link" in the team. Hogan eventually tags in Morgan, however, who cleans house, and gets the pin for his team -- allowing Hogan to win his first championship in TNA.

By teaming with Morgan, Hogan can make him look like a million bucks. Hogan has only held one Tag Team Championship in his career, and that was with Edge. Holding one with Matt Morgan could be put over as a really big deal. It also allows Hogan to wear gold, while not exactly running roughshed over the entire TNA roster. He wins because Morgan wins. And eventually, you can have Morgan do what Hogan could never do, and pin Eric Young to become the TNA Global Champion, which gives him his first TNA singles title win, and can help him build up his resume as he is prepared for the main event.
