While Hulk Hogan has gotten the publicity for Monday’s TNA Impact, Eric Bischoff’s involvement might become a larger story as well.
Not much is known about exactly how Bischoff factors into TNA yet, but recent comments might give some insight.
In a blog post, Bischoff spoke out on a few subjects:
On TNA:
TNA has ratcheted up their game, and Spike TV has put some nitrous into the tank with a live Monday Night head to head broadcast and some serious advertising and marketing.
On TNA vs. WWE:
Clearly TNA is up against a Wall Street mega-corp bully with a billion dollar bank account and a Chairman that thinks only he should have any meaningful market share of the professional wrestling business (even though he’s embarrassed to admit he’s in the professional wrestling business).
On Bret Hart:
I have always liked Bret as a person and respected him as a professional. It was disappointing to me when I would read or hear comments that Bret would make, that reflected the bitterness he has been carrying around with him for so long. Bret has an opportunity now to write the last chapter of his book in a way that will allow fans to remember him in a more positive way.
