Mister E posted:I'm just curious as to how much financial freedom Bischoff and Hogan are going to have in TNA. It Panda isn't keeping them on a tight leash I fear lots and lots of cars are once again going to get wrecked if things don't start swinging upwards. Considering his personal life and what his son did, do you really expect any actual car wrecks happening if Hogan is anywhere near the book?

Hogan coming out to Voodoo Child is one of the greatest pieces of entrance + music ever done and it infuriates me that the Network redubbed all of those entrances with the stock nWo theme

ChrisBTY posted:Man... WCW is probably dead in 94 or 95 without signing Hogan. The company lost over $20 million in 1993 and the Flair/Steamboat stuff in the early half of 1994 wasn't exactly filling the arenas or getting ratings plus both Rude and Steamboat were at the end of their careers due to their back injuries. Most accounts around the time say that Bischoff's idea to sign Hogan was essentially his last chance under Turner to turn WCW around or it was going to disappear. Hogan signing instantly turned the company around and they broke even in '94 and are believed to have made profits from '95 through '98 before it all fell apart. Think of it from Bischoff's perspective. If you're in his position and it's basically 'spike ratings right now or the company dies,' what other option even gives you the chance considering the available talent pool?

ChrisBTY posted:Well that's the problem isn't it? I think of it more as a person with a terminal disease that signs up for an experimental treatment. It might not work and it might end up fixing the initial problem but killing you 5 years down the line in a completely different way - but what do you have to lose by giving it a shot?
