Hulkster could always be an awesome Manager. Think about that, for a sec. All the possibilities there.

[@robertconnolly8769]

HOGAN AS A MANAGER...??? NO WAY...! 😅😅... WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE ANYTHING ANYMORE BUT THE LEGEND THAT MADE THE W.W.F WHAT IT IS TODAY..!!! WHAAATCHA GOOONA DO...!!! WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOUUUUU....!!??

[@Dillo72]

@@robertconnolly8769 Sure he could retire a legend, which he would be either way still. But if he can't wrestle, and doesn't want to leave the wrestling world, it could be an option.

Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff are the reason why TNA died in 2010,but the REAL Downfall was in 2013,not because Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff left,it's because of Dixie Carter firing AJ Styles and Sting

[@wave201988]

Exactly especially hiring guys like Tito Ortiz or Rampage Jackson who had NO wrestling experience Dixie just made things worse after she hired Hogan and Bischoff.

[@deathifyin2959]

Lol I don't think she fired them. I think they left to go elsewhere at that point. TNA was a sinking ship at that point, everyone was leaving for other ventures.

[@theunhingedgamer3762]

@@deathifyin2959 Sting's last match with Impact was January 2014 at Genesis where he put his career on the line and then he went to WWE but he was with Impact still from 2011 all the way through 2013 as for AJ he was with the promotion until December of 2014 and his reason for leaving is because contract negotiations broke down

Sting......ripping off everyone else's gimmick since...well....when he got in the business. He wins the most unoriginal wrestler in history award.

[@zodiacair]

Yeah let's see....he had the Road Warrior gimmick in the mid '80's. Then he stole the Guile from "Street Fighter" look in the early to mid '90's. Then he figured he'd steal Brandon Lee's "The Crow" look. Now I see he's gone after Ledger's "The Joker". Get your own gimmick dude.

Yep, I knew it. WWE mark, that probably calls them superstars instead of wrestlers, anyone being handled under Vince McMahon will be ruined, AEW Is doing just fine, especially after drawing the highest gate for any wrestling show ever that WWE has ever put on for All In at wembley stadium with over 80,000 tickets sold n counting. Go back to your sports entertainment KZbin videos n let wrestling fans enjoy old wrestling videos from TNA, WCW, ECW, NWA, and now AEW.

it's pretty common that they mix in crowd noise to the broadcast. sometimes they will even blast crowd noise on the speakers in the arena. if you're looking at the crowd and it doesn't seem to match the noise then it's probably because they added it.
