@@brypete Wcw was already dead did you watch any thing after late 98 it was trash wcw was dead be that merger ever happened it had been on life support for 2 years
Instead of having Cutie Dixie in the audience I would have dressed her in a nice bikini and had her as eye candy in the ring. I might have had Scott Hall french kiss her, too.
pretty much if anyone reallly stepped back and watched the event... everything was so bad.... and Hogan boosted Nasty Boys over the Dudleys thats when it was over
I remember how excited I was for this for weeks and good god was it underwhelming. To think I actually gave them more chances!! The final straw for me was BFG'10
"hOgAn rUiNeD tNa!" They had their highest ever ratings when Hogan was there and secured their best sponsorship and television deals. But facts don't matter to the IWC.
Fleeting success and people grew weary of the old man nWo faster than u realize. TNA was already on life support so why not use these old farts I guess.
Yeah but they lost all their money, all those sponsorship's, and all their talent while he was there too. The company was never quite the same after he entered and only went downhill until he left. So yeah he brought them a short term boost, at the expense of a long term decline.
Cornette has me dying laughing about this segment because hogan said he been in the back all day but no you didn’t cause they spent like the first hour showing hogan on a motorcade to get here. Lol
I wonder how Hulk feels getting cheers from the 150 people at the "Impact Zone" rather than the thousands and thousands of cheering he got in the WWF/E
Hm, I believe they edited out where Hogan said, "I've been in the back all day long." And yet for the first hour he was on his way in the big limo. PLOT TWIST!
Yes it was they should have - 1. Never tried to recreate The Mon. Night War 2. Had Hogan and Bischoff come out the week before 3. Had them debut Hogan & Bischoff debut the next week ask me? It's option #1!
Vince McMahon There was only an hour difference between starting or ending time of RAW and TNA iMPACT. I mean to say that after an hour RAW started, iMPACT started.
This was one of my favorite nights in the industry. The wcw mark in me came alive once again. The Styles Angle match on this show was crazy. Thank you TNA.
Once he stepped into that TNA ring, you could just feel the companies money and popularity getting sucked away instantly. Hogan ruined TNA, ruined some of my favorite wrestlers in TNA and left it to rot into what is considered to this day a miserable laughable shell of what it used to be. He can go straight to hell.
wtf66611 If Dixie really does wind up becoming that stupid, than i'm just gonna stop watching till he's off the show. Not gonna sit there and watch him damage what's left of the company.
LOL ! Good point. But Hogan is too big of a name for him not to have another go with Dixie's TNA. She's got a soft heart and a thing for Hogan, I'm sure they can work something out. Never say never in the "wrassssslin'" business. Knowing Dixie, she'll most likely welcome him back with open arms. She's that kind of a person..lol
+anthonydeadman its funny cause I felt like Hogan was just basking in the spot light as he walked down that ramp. His ego was glowing brightly. I think as he walked down that ramp during his intro he just knew it was time for him to get back into the spotlight and to be the main focus of a company like he was in WCW. Its sad because I use to watch TNA from the early days and seeing what he did and what happened during and after his run in TNA is just sad. TNA had so much promise. It wasn't fully his fault but damn he contributed greatly to the demise and downward spiral.
No Hogan had great intentions for TNA, but he made some bonehead moves in the process. He wanted to really make TNA huge, but had moved the show to Monday night way too early. He also tried to recreate the NWO faction threw Immortal thinking it would draw big money. How ever his was way freaking wrong! Hogan and Bishoff had some good shows in the beginning of their partnership with Dixie, but they convinced her to make some stupid moves as well. If they would have kept TNA on Tuesday night and not have made NWO light it would have been huge. Then after getting bigger they could have moved to Monday nights and challenged the WWE. TNA was just not big enough to challenge them at the time. Plus NWO light soured people even further so it hurt more than it helped.
@@fireheartis1 Hogan was only out to promote himself. Yeah, he had good intentions for the company..but he never advertised it much on radio shows and podcasts and what not. All he did was further run it into the ground along with his ass kissing stooge Eric Bischoff..moving it to Monday Nights to compete head to head with Raw...which was a HORRIBLE mistake. And of course we got to see the 5000th nWo reunion with a past his prime Scott Hall and X-Pac joining up with Kevin Nash. It also doesn't help that he brought in his long time ass kissing lackeys such as The Nasty Boyz and Bubba The Love Sponge..and later he'd bring in his useless talentless has been daughter Brooke while Bischoff brings in his green as hell son Garret. Dixie should've known that these two vampires were out to suck her dry and move on to the next best thing. They only used TNA to give all their has been buddies and useless kids a job. When WWE came calling, Hogan was out the door fast. Poor Dixie was left holding the bag.
An exciting moment to see these legends. TNA has come a long way from this moment. Hate it or love it... they have produced some big names and moments.
TNA back then tryed to overcame WWE by beeing WWE without the biggest Star at that Time: John Cena. With him they would had a Chance. Hogan at this Time was already a nostalgia Act that could not work. Old Fans already left and the Generation at that Time was more into John Cena like i said already.
@@marcel0233 uh Cody is younger and a lot more aware of what todays fan is interested in. So yes they do have a chance at surpassing WWE some day. It wont happen soon but if they keep working hard they'll be fine. They've been doing great things like actually utilizing legends alongside the core of young talent on the roster, and continuing to bring in quality additions while hyping it up very well.
i tell you what,if it wasn't for hogan going to tna,i may never have started watching tna.people can say hogan ruined tna and they are whats wrong with wrestling fans.always pointing out negativity....hogan and bishoff brought millions of viewers and while hogan may not have been what tna needed overall to succeed,it DEFINITELY gave them a boost.say what you want about hogan,he along with help BUILT WRESTLING
also hogan talked about being there all day in the back yet they literally spent the first hour of the show showing hogan coming to the impact zone for the first time in his limo.....i love this spot :)
This segment ended up getting like what 2.2 Million viewers? Pretty crazy. But in the end Hogan's tenure in TNA had no fucking long term effect whatsoever. Look where TNA is at now. It's sad.
Had they used Hall and Kid here to set an example of the past not being a factor, and "fired" them at the end of the episode after having brought them back for a one night only deal, this would have been a great moment that played on the past and given truth to the times changing, and the men changing. Instead they just wanted to play off peoples nostalgia and cash checks. This was where TNA started dying, brought in a bunch of past their prime old guys who added nothing to the company and the current day product, and spent that time ignoring the stars that TNA had done a good job building up, and just could have used a bit more polish and a good rub from established stars of the business.
I think this was when TNA went live against Raw with Bret and Shawn confrontation? I remember tuning into TNA as well to see Hogan specifically and also switching to Raw and so did many others. Great memories
I was in 11 when this aired and I Rememeber it like it was yesterday. Now I'm 23 and realize it was the beginning of the end for TNA because within 5 years TNA was in the shitter
I was 21 in 2010, my high-light from that year was seeing The Expendables in theaters. Hulk Hogan I saw 1st time in 2002, I continued to see Hulkster in small clips from 2003 to onwards. Hulkster was in MTV reality show: Hogan Know's Best, which I watched nearly all episodes. Then Hulkster went to Australia with Flair and 2010 in TNA and shortly Flair followed to TNA.
i loved this cause it was real it wasnt planed or staged and it was a talk that needed to happen between hall and pac cause after that hall got him self straightened out and pac went clean
I love how people go on about "old guys" in TNA as if it's something new. Scott Hall was in TNA before and he put people over. Nash has been in TNA forever and he's polar opposite of how he was in WCW. Steiner has been putting people over since he got there. Waltman put people over when he was there. The Nastys are in as a novelty feud with Team 3D. Flair is managing Styles. Stop looking at this with tunnel vision, let it develop. I remember everyone carrying on about this in TNA 2004 too.
lets hope hulk sticks to his word and gives the young guys a go..... coz there were alot of old guys that came back!!! and that bischoff learned from what happened to wcw 10 odd years ago.... time will tell it is good for the business to have tna competing with the wwe, it will only bring better quality output from both companies
It's the NWO music that was featured in the WCW Thunder Video Games. (Weird right?) I'm assuming that he got the rights to the Videogame arrangement which is pretty dang cool.
According to Kurt Angle, the best time of TNA in terms of viewers was when Hogan, Hall, Nash, himself, Booker and a couple of others were hired by TNA and TNA pulled in over 2 million views a week.
I like how he spent "all day with the talent in the back" then arrives by limo several hours later

@@Voysh2Voysh69 you really think that egomaniac Cody Rhodes could compete with wwe? Give me a break
@@marcel0233 uh Cody is younger and a lot more aware of what todays fan is interested in. So yes they do have a chance at surpassing WWE some day. It wont happen soon but if they keep working hard they'll be fine. They've been doing great things like actually utilizing legends alongside the core of young talent on the roster, and continuing to bring in quality additions while hyping it up very well.
@@Voysh2Voysh69 I see AEW becoming the new WCW in all aspects of the business
Same...i was rooting for tna back then.....look at them now... depressing
This promo by hulk Hogan reminds me of when hulk came to WCW in 1994 except he was at Disney's MGM studios this time he was at universal studios
The Day Hulk Hogan ****** up TNA wrestling.
Alexander Sampang rather watch this generation then the crap they got on now
Alexander Sampang yep your right
You got that right!
4:25 LOL
Brob Sesnar LMAO
What
Shane Canning WHAT?
TNA is gonna be the #1 Company in the World.....didn't say wrestling or sports entertainment...not sure what they're the #1 at then?
i tell you what,if it wasn't for hogan going to tna,i may never have started watching tna.people can say hogan ruined tna and they are whats wrong with wrestling fans.always pointing out negativity....hogan and bishoff brought millions of viewers and while hogan may not have been what tna needed overall to succeed,it DEFINITELY gave them a boost.say what you want about hogan,he along with help BUILT WRESTLING
Derek Busse Amen
I didn't start watching tna until these guys showed up
Biggest rating in TNA the last 10 years. HOGAN = GOD
TNA could become great here, but Dixie Carter didn't use it right.
also hogan talked about being there all day in the back yet they literally spent the first hour of the show showing hogan coming to the impact zone for the first time in his limo.....i love this spot :)
This segment ended up getting like what 2.2 Million viewers? Pretty crazy. But in the end Hogan's tenure in TNA had no fucking long term effect whatsoever. Look where TNA is at now. It's sad.
That's what happens when you buy a gold-plated jet with no engine. That was what Hogan is all about since 2000.
sXeJerichoHolic You are sad.
sXeJerichoHolic could've been quite the time had they actually cared
X This segment was actually watched by almost 3M people
I like what’s happening TNA right. Specially with the knockouts
“TNA is gonna be the number 1 wrestling company in the world!” He didn't even believe that when he said it.
5 years later, TNA is on it's deathbed.
Not really
+ADW Wrestling TV Yes it is lol
+Conici AU no
animebety it is
+animebety TNA is slowly dying, losing viewership, got evicted from their hq , just losing money like wcw did
Had they used Hall and Kid here to set an example of the past not being a factor, and "fired" them at the end of the episode after having brought them back for a one night only deal, this would have been a great moment that played on the past and given truth to the times changing, and the men changing. Instead they just wanted to play off peoples nostalgia and cash checks. This was where TNA started dying, brought in a bunch of past their prime old guys who added nothing to the company and the current day product, and spent that time ignoring the stars that TNA had done a good job building up, and just could have used a bit more polish and a good rub from established stars of the business.
Brother it’s time for us to time travel back to 1997 brother.
I despised what hulk turned Tna into but God this episode was so awesome
God, I miss that ring.
This was the beginning of the end for TNA. Amazing to think that it's still a company in 2022
Soon as Hogan left, so did the creativity and ratings. They should've kept him as long as possible. They were selling out every show.
Yup
I think this was when TNA went live against Raw with Bret and Shawn confrontation? I remember tuning into TNA as well to see Hogan specifically and also switching to Raw and so did many others. Great memories
I really thought TNA was onto something this night…now it’s only a shell of its former self.
For this one night it felt like the Monday Wars from 1995 to 2001 especially the years 1996 and 1997.
I was in 11 when this aired and I Rememeber it like it was yesterday. Now I'm 23 and realize it was the beginning of the end for TNA because within 5 years TNA was in the shitter
I was 21 in 2010, my high-light from that year was seeing The Expendables in theaters. Hulk Hogan I saw 1st time in 2002, I continued to see Hulkster in small clips from 2003 to onwards. Hulkster was in MTV reality show: Hogan Know's Best, which I watched nearly all episodes. Then Hulkster went to Australia with Flair and 2010 in TNA and shortly Flair followed to TNA.
All that time with Vince and they didnt know it was an impossible task to become #1
We're here to parrtttaa ❤
Tna was badass back in the day it reminded me of wcw I really did enjoy the show miss it
I feel like Hogan has been this age that he looks right here for like 30 plus years lol all the 90s all the 00s & earl 10s
i loved this cause it was real it wasnt planed or staged and it was a talk that needed to happen
between hall and pac cause after that hall got him self straightened out and pac went clean
It was all planned are you a fool
Mark
when hogan turned heel and became hollywood hogan that was the best ever. Legendary!!
I love how people go on about "old guys" in TNA as if it's something new. Scott Hall was in TNA before and he put people over. Nash has been in TNA forever and he's polar opposite of how he was in WCW. Steiner has been putting people over since he got there. Waltman put people over when he was there. The Nastys are in as a novelty feud with Team 3D. Flair is managing Styles.
Stop looking at this with tunnel vision, let it develop. I remember everyone carrying on about this in TNA 2004 too.
Boy, this aged badly.
Did it develop yet?
You still around Wolf?
Hello
HISTORIC Night FOR TNA
hogan and bischoff ruined tna
federico scola the worst of tna has nothing to do with hogan!
lets hope hulk sticks to his word and gives the young guys a go.....
coz there were alot of old guys that came back!!!
and that bischoff learned from what happened to wcw 10 odd years ago....
time will tell
it is good for the business to have tna competing with the wwe, it will only bring better quality output from both companies
It seemed like a good idea at the time....
Billy Bulger no it really didn't not for 20 min
KingOfStrongStyle In retrospect youre spot on. As a loyal fan, I just want TNA to do well
It was, they just ran out of money..
It was but him and Bischoff sucked all the money.
Actually it was stupid they tried too hard too fast
TNA is gonna be #1 company in the world...ya, that's gone over well
It's the NWO music that was featured in the WCW Thunder Video Games. (Weird right?) I'm assuming that he got the rights to the Videogame arrangement which is pretty dang cool.
According to Kurt Angle, the best time of TNA in terms of viewers was when Hogan, Hall, Nash, himself, Booker and a couple of others were hired by TNA and TNA pulled in over 2 million views a week.
