- The big day has finally arrived it’s Hulk Hogans entire TNA run. This is what happened after WWE. He only wrestled two matches on tv so what did he spend the rest of the time doing? What was the point in him? It felt like he was mostly involved with Sting which was alright but was he actually as bad as the narrative says he is?

Yes
Where's the shirt for this? I want a shirt!
I dont even know what it means but its one of the funniest things ever...the pokemon part throws me and the double J jeff Jarrett ends me
I do it in my head whenever I see JJ in other videos!
Facts
3:53 "There's only one F in mafia."
"You put the F where the sun don't shine!"
😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
Best part of the video
Scott Steiner is gold on the mic
Effing Scott what a role model.
you have seen steiner math now see spelling with steiner
That Scott Steiner segment at 3:12 was great, I love how that ended.
“He’s fat!”
He spoke so well I literally had no idea it was him until the end when he got mad lol
The segment don't lie, and it spells disaster for you at sackerfice!
And I bet Scott was shooting too
@@TheBlackScatPack it sounded like it until the 2 F's came up lol
Dixie claimed that Hogan was the rocket fuel they needed to go to new heights. She was right, Hogan was the fuel. The gas that burned the entire building down!
A month later, I forgot to add: During the first TNA on Monday Nights, Hogan and Bischoff said "they are going to turn TNA upside down". Thats exactly what they did too🤣 killed another company.
@TheVolourn keep telling yourself that
@TheVolourn And Jack the Ripper didn't hurt Hookers either.
@TheVolourn Sure, brother.
Yet 1000 years from now the only pro wrestler to be remembered will be the red and yellow....STILLLLL running wild.
The problem with Hogan is that he was just too old to be good for anything anymore. Between his ego and physical incapability he was just this prop people had to bump around. That said, Joker Sting is really underrated and it's a shame that a lot of people dismiss the whole thing as TNA just trying to run after a popular trend when Joker Sting actually did make total organic sense as a persona.
Hulk is the goat at everything, always
Hogan wasn't a good inring performer even in his prime but the guy had a lot of charisma and good mic skills and that's the thing made him extremely popular.
@@arvindshastry1178 I think you meant to say he wasn't a good "technical wrestler", which is completely correct. He was, however, a good in ring performer in terms of working the crowd and character work. Like look at the famous Hogan VS Warrior match from Mania 6. Yes, it's a terrible match technically, but the character work transcends everything and it does take a certain type of talent and skill to make it. Plus most of 80s wrestling is pretty boring, at least as the WWF is concerned and in that sense I'd rather watch any Hogan match over like... Greg the Hammer vs some other sweaty middle aged man from the territories.
@@uncledrosselmeyer6480 nope.
That's stone cold.
Then steiner.
Then daylight.
Then maybe 15 more wrestlers before you get anywhere near hogan.
@@falconmclenny7284 "Nope" 🥸🥱
The segment with Foley is the calmest I’ve ever seen Steiner.
3:13
"well you can put the F where the sun don't shine"
I hope Hogan gets punished by the Wrestling Gods, for putting the six-sided Rings to rest.
The six sided ring, can stick it. Brother!
@William Leeroy NOPE
Do you know how hard the 6 sided ring was? Lol. It doesnt have the give as a 4 sided ring. No way Hogan in his fragile shape was gonna wrestle on it. That's one reason the 6 sided ring went away.
@@TheFailedmessiah Hogan is a fallen god.
He's the ZEUS of Wrestling...
And remember ZEUS was a castrating son of the TITAN....
IT GOES TOGETHER....
Poor abyss.... from mankind to Eugene in the blink of an eye
In all fairness, they started making Abyss look like a dork before Hogan got there lol
Almost all monster gimmicks end up doing some silly shit

@Matt Taousanis
Corporate kane worked well as he wasn't goofy like the way he was in 2009.
Unpopular Opinion: The 6 Sided Ring is cool. It's one of the most unique thing about Impact Wrestling and made more sense than the Reverse Ladder & Battle Royale matches.
How the fuck is that an unpopular opinion?
The 6 sided ring was cool, but we must never speak of the fever dream known as the reverse battle royale.
The 6 sided ring was loved by TNA fans.
To to be, most anything makes more sense then reverse kadder and Battle royale matches lmao
It was unique but going back to some of the early matches I feel like it did change the flow a bit. Maybe it got better later when I stopped watching but then they got rid of it anyway
When Hogan came in TNA, I pretty much stopped watching that point. Last thing I need to see was that old man and his old friends go over the younger talent that I was enjoying watching. If I wanted to watch that s*** I'd watch WWE
Same here. I used to watch TNA during the glory x-division, LAX, Christian Cage (if you don't know, now you know), Joe, Sting, Angle days. As soon as the Aces and Eights storyline, and Hogan and Flair showed up everything just went south.
@@silver2164 i'd argue that recently tna has started to get better but still not as good as it once was
@@robjackson4050 that’s true but it’s kinda too late now
They totally screwed over raven and Stevie and homicide
this is where i dont agree,i didnt mind them as much because i didn't watch wcw in the 1990s..wwe was way worse at that time with its pg rating on full effect....they had no stars apart from cena,lesnar taker and punk...
Bubba " do the job Hulk"
Hulk Hogan " that don't work for me brother"
Bubba " but why Terry"
Hogan " cause Steiner says your FAT"
Hogan "cause Steiner says YOU'RE FAT"
^^^^^^^
I read that in Hogan's promo voice lol
19:35 "This moment right here." That statement hits hard. This man is pouring his heart out about a company that he loves reduced to a shell of it's former self. Like a great promo about wanting a shot at the heavyweight belt to become a legend, this promo is about the truth hitting hard. TNA wasn't the same after this moment. I saw the tweets. Every fan was disappointed and I fully understand. Keep up the great work, MarkyD123.
11 years ago now how time flies by. I remember it like it was yesterday seeing Hogan and bitchoff in that 4 sided ring. Knew the feeling of what are TNA doing bringing these two in knew it was going too be a massacre too the company.
It sucks they never push matt Morgan during the aces and eights storyline they drop the ball with these guys.
@Billy bob Willett That and bad timing
Morgan was treated so poorly
There wasn’t anything special about Matt Morgan. Matt Morgan was just a boring big man that didn’t connect with the wrestling fans, especially with a company that was built around the x division. He just didn’t have the talent that want with his size. Matt Morgan was just a Kevin Nash 2.0.
@@justinsane6986 i always felt like he was just there just to put over guys that were more talented than him. It's why put him in the main event if he not gonna win
@@boxdryer6973 there’s nothing wrong with a wrestler getting a push, so therefore that was sole reason for him getting booked into an main event to see if he was main event or championship material, in my opinion. It was just bad timing for Matt Morgan, especially in a company that didn’t have a identity. One moment it’s the TNA Orginal’s , another it’s ECW reunion, WCW has been’s then it’s WWE reject’s. iMpact wrestling was one big misdirection.
I never knew sting brought a actual hawk 😅 also i liked sting joker gimmick it was entertaining
- It was terribly stupid and derivative but Sting made it work, like Tom Hiddlestone in Loki.
looks more like a raven to me lol
On paper it was stupid but they made it work
joker sting was amazing
Yeah, that was definitely a Raven
“Lawyers couldn’t do it but wrestling could” 😂
Honestly, thank you for being the only person who is a wrestling pundit of any sort who has ever treated that nuts slapping jabroni like he should be. And btw, no matter what he tries to claim these days, "Slap Nuts" is WANKING.
Also, we should all start referring to "X-Pac heat", as "Slap Nuts"...as in "I'd rather go away and have a WANK than watch this lower mid-card jabroni try to convince the world that he's a main-eventer".
Today is a good day. I may have finally met someone that genuinely HATES 'J A ha-ha Double R haha E Double T' as much as I do.
*In my opinion he has been the worst thing to happen to wrestling EVER and has consistently ruined any promotion he has been in and lowered any wrestler that he has worked with*
@@blacknapalm2131 I agree. What's the point of even having the guy around at all? I hate to say this, but Shawn Michaels is better than him, and he falls under the same "rats begging for food and money" category as Slapnuts, Xpac, Dixie Carter, Stephanie McMahon, and Paul Levesque IMO.
@@HostWithTheMost ...what in gods name are you even talking about 😳🤦🏻♂️🤣
@@uncledrosselmeyer6480 It's a long story.
He was trying to squeeze the last few dollars out of the value of his name before Linda stole it.
I thought he owned his name (?
@@dmxmrylxver Not truly. WWF has been paying royalties to Marvel since he joined the company. Every time you saw "The Immortal Hulk Hogan" on TV they got like $10s. Not sure if the mouse decided to monopolize on that deal either.
after '04 or '05 Hogan owned his name outright, from Marvel. The initial deal was only for 20 years
@@drewagoosa68 I was talking about the value of seeing him on TV in a worthwhile storyline.
hulk hogan angrily snorting is legitimately one of the funniest things ive ever seen
Fr wtf lol
There's only one f in Mafia.
Yeah well you can stick that other f where the sun don't shine
The numbers don't lie!
Shuv it
Classic Steiner 🤣🤣
The reason why Hogan leaving the company felt like the end of impact is because after he lefted the company were drained of all their money. Most prominent tna wrestlers lefted.
Hogan and Huey freeman need their own show together
What the fuck does lefted mean?
It's left not lefted lmao
They weren’t drained of their money Dixie’s parents decided to make them do more with less.
6:38 lol love the reference to Undertaker with that pronunciation of Hower Power
I need more Mick Foley/Scott Steiner conversations in my life.
Hogan entering TNA is what killed it. Not him leaving.
Yes and no, I'd say there's actually more of a blame to be put on Russo and even Carter tbh.
Hogan and Bischoff were a symptom, not the cause.
@@ryanchase9332 Agreed. Dixie was the one who brought them into the company. She even hired Russo back as a writer, without telling anyone. Dixie is the true cause of the downfall of TNA
The only thing Hogan killed was Shawn in the ring at Summerslam. Killed that bastard
It was a combination Hogan and Bischoff coming up and Jim Cornette no longer being there to help make chicken salad out of Vince Russo's chicken shit. The main problem with TNA was Vince Russo though. He was the mind behind the nonsense. Russo was so incompetent that Spike TV didn't want him involved at all, and when the Spike executives found out that Dixie Carter had secretly hired Russo back, they got threw off Spike TV and they've floundered in obscurity ever sense.
I said in 2010 that bringing in Hogan was bad for business. Turns out, it was.
What would the company have been in 2010 without Hogan? Pretty sure they would have slowly died like they did and ended up under Jeff Jarret's Global Force Wrestling in that timeline.
Never having a proper backer, channel network, and management was bad for business.
@@CornBreadtm1 it would have kept its audience and probably would still be #2 today without losing everything
Hogan and bischoff really did ruin it
@@CornBreadtm1 AJ was the champion and drawing in viewers. It was at a turning point. Hogan and Bischoff came in and stopped this in favor of older past their prime talent like Sting, RVD and The Nasty Boys.
@@romanramirez7847 And the stupid Aces and 8s feud. That stupid storyline was the final nail in the coffin of TNA. Now while Impact wrestling is solid, it will never reach the heights of TNA.
19:30 TNA died here. Hulk Hogan left TNA looking stronger than a whole company and its owner.
I love the image of the hulkster bleeding in front of the Konami logos. Big gamer energy from that.
Hogan doesn't bleed...bleed does Hogan!
FINALLY YES BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS
2012 was the last year that TNA did a PPV for every month and starting in 2013 i really started to notice the downfall of TNA like it never recovered. Sure Impact Wresting now is ok to decent but it could of been even better if things were played right. Also i never liked the blue colour scheme TNA went with it was just very ugly to look at
Yes, it was depressing!
I'd love to see you cover Dr. Death Steve Williams in ECW one day
Hogan killed TNA early on in his run, but it was a slow death. He moved them to Monday nights and killed their momentum stone dead in a vain attempt to get back at Vince McMahon. From there they never recovered that momentum and it was a steady downward slide.
Towards the end you mention James Storm getting a title run during Hogan's time there, and while that's true, it had little to do with Hogan. It came later than it should've because Hogan said he "wasn't ready" to win the title, even though the crowd were reacting positively for him and were eager to see him win it. When it did come it meant way less than it should have.
It wasn’t James Storm it was Bobby Roode.
Storm was never meant to win the title when he did.
Stupid comment.
5:12 “THIS, is where we shed our BLOOD, SETS AND TEARS!”
That's the first time I have seen that Mick and Steiner segment and it's gold
Bound for Glory 2011 is the only TNA ppv I ever paid for.
Best Slapnut Sighting yet
Great vid! There was one match that hasn't been mentioned though. His bout against Paul Wight in Memphis Wrestling in 2007. I think it was the last time he hit his Leg Drop as well.
You said "hower power!" This nod to Undertaker has earned you a sub🤘🤘🤘
Thanks dude
I need more Scott Steiner in my life!
We all do......we all do.......fun fact...i went to the same school and church as he did....
"Bischoff never gave me anything," Bischoff literally gave him a custom Harley on live TV
@Markyd123 I don't even watch wrestling anymore, I've lost my faith in Kayfabe a long time ago but your channel is pure gold and highly entertaining. If Vince Russo was able to get his shot with the WWE from a writer for the WWE Magazine to a head writer for the WWE I don't see why they don't hire you for story writing or at least story editing.. you're a true fan with great insight, keep up the good work!!
I remember watching around this time and that segment with Dixie begging on her knees hit me the same way it hit you. Like, it's over. It'll never feel the same.
Having said that, give us what we want! Give us Wes Briscoe on Ring of the Hawk!
Hey hey hey now. Wrestle House won me over in the end.
Also, a video on Wrestle House would be dope.
I like the northern coal miner
@Raymond Frand no. No it wasn't.
1:17 a wild slapnuts used guitar shot, it was super effective
Love The Hawk! Happy to find a British Wrestling youtuber who is not a Reddit smark. What Culture and Wrestle Talk make us Brits look bad.
Also thanks Hawkster for shouting out Wolverhampton!
Thanks brother and yes they do!
Their bias to aew is embaressing 🙄
Yes thank you for the Wolverhampton shout out!
How is wrestletalk making things look bad they just give their own opinions about things like markyd doesn't even watch aew doesn't mean he is bad
@@MeNoSpeakJibberish wrestletalk always said they give their own opinions they have criticised aew on many things especially their women's division. I get what culture as they are just not funny anymore
As a Hawk, you'd think you'd know that was a raven, not a hawk haha
Steiner and Foley interactions where always great.
Jeff Jarrett is the Rattata of professional wrestling.
Mark you are a shining light in the darkness of iwc
Mark is one of the few smart guys in the IWC. He explores the past in a good way and shares his own personal thoughts on them. Unlike the rest of the IWC, which are either WWE haters or whiny fans.
I always loved how Sting constantly reinvented himself, but without stopping being Sting.
Mate the old 6 sided rings were so freaking good
Every segment has 20 people in the ring lol. All former WWE wrestlers, of course
Just like AEW now lol
Scott steiner kills me 😂😂😂
I honestly believe, at the time Hogan left, Dixie had a golden opportunity, which she failed to realise. They should have returned to the 6 side ring. In fact I think if they did do today, it may raise them a step.
They would’ve still lost their deal on Spike because of Dixie.
7:40 - not only is it impossible to sign a whole company over in one signature - but they aired this on nationally viewed television.. theres a thing called "duress" - and contracts aren't legal when signed under duress.
The ending of this video hit me hard. I know EXACTLY what you felt/still feel about when Hulk left TNA. It's signified the end.
U when he joined
Dixie Carter = what happens when you let a Karen run a wrestling promotion
Joker Sting is supremely underrated. I think it’s an example of people hating something just because it was a part of a controversial time period of TNA.
good vid, wasn't expecting joker sting to show up. You should do more 2008/9 vids since you say those are the best years
“The idiot Abyss”
Hogan claiming Bischoff never gave him anything was hilarious if anyone remembers WCW.. Man got him a Hollywood Hogan motorcycle for his "birthday"
WWE is the only wrestling Company he wasn't able to either completely destroy or almost destroy it.
He actually MADE WWE the number one wrestling company on the planet.
The end of this video made me feel very sad for TNA.
the last bust year of tan was 2012. because they were pushing their homegrown talent and the story lines were more interesting. the best years I would say was 2006, 7,8 and 12.
Scott Steiner is pure diamonds
I was there at Bound for Glory 2011
The Joker Sting/Hulk feud was the last good thing either of them were ever involved in. Hulk would never wrestle again and Sting got back in good wrestling shape just in time for a really bad WWE run.
Joker Sting reminded me of Wolfpack Sting and I loved Wolfpack Sting. I followed the whole feud on Twitter.
He would of won the title in WWE had not been for that crap injury from Rollins
Joker Sting was the best thing that came from the Hogan/Bischoff era of TNA
Indeed! However Jim Cornette was furious back in 2011 because Sting had turned down a match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27 in order to renew his contract with TNA.
You're right, TNA was great from 2005-08! Hogan's run was the drizzling shits, completely embarrassing brother.
Christian Cage put TNA on the map.😁
Scott Steiner is so damn funny 😆🤣😂

Great video man. It’s great to see you over 50k subscribers now.
I hope this will be in the Chris Hemsworth Hulk hogan documentary🤣
The 6 sided ring was one of the coolest things about TNA back in the day. It really made them stand out. Getting rid of it was dumb.
Wildest slapnuts appeared
1:18 i can't get enough of that music
Wonder if British boot camp had much to do with Hogan off screen? Rockstar Spud took the ball and ran with it. He did so well. A video on what Spud did in Tna would be good. His teaming with Ec3 and later feud was good.
A video on the careers of all involved with British Boot Camp would be good too.
Scott f'n Steiner speaking prophetic words to Mic Foley about Hogan. Totally forgot about that (and i wish i could earase the entire Hogan-TNA stuff from history). Great viedeo as always hawk and keep up the good work
02:07 nasty Matt Sydal.
TNA quenched my wrestling thirst throughout the aughts(2004-09), I've got dozens of their PPVs on DVD and there isn't one bad card among them, no time wasted, total nonstop action. Sure, there were the 'fire Russo' gimmick matches, but even those were done better than their WCW counterparts. But the thing is that TNA had something for everyone: high flying action with the X-Division, awesome performers like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Abyss and (the criminally, and eternally underrated) Fallen Angel, a solid Tag-Team division, some legendary hardcore material (do yourself a favor and look up the hardcore match between Chris Harris and James Storm). It was an amazing time to be a fan of Sting and Kurt Angle, as they both shined. And Knockouts > Divas. Also, I loved the six-sided ring.
Then came Hogan.
You should do a retrospective on AJ Styles "Rick Flair" gimmick. If you haven't already.

Oh the Hawk once again strikes! LOVE IT! XD And I just loved the bit of Mick Foley and Scott Steiner, maybe it's just me, but that segment was one the funniest if because of Scott's honest responses to Foley's questions about Hogan.
Thinking about the comment Hogan waking out segment at the end of his run, and the comment about Dixie looking like a fool I would like to interject that Vince McMahon made himself look like a fool constantly. It’s one of the most endearing things about him as a performer. On the other hand the Authority has been criticized for never looking weak and always gaining the upper hand. As for why this feels like such a blow ( and this is from a guy who wasn’t watching impact at the time) I think it’s because Hogan was probably the biggest name the company had signed and he just walk out without getting them to the promise land. It didn’t matter if he was a face or heel, wrestling or not, he couldn’t do for impact what he had done for WCW, WWE, and even a little bit for the AWA. It says that IMPACT would always ride a niche market but never crossover mainstream and become the number one company in US wrestling. And what’s worst is that Hogan just leaves. He doesn’t get anyone over on the way out. He doesn’t put over the company as a whole. There isn’t even some big thank you celebration. he just leaves and it makes TNA look like some kind of failed experiment, or worst, one of countless promotions that sprang up and then died out.
Probably my favorite video from you hahah, “I love how he labeled a six sided ring “a play pen ring”
15:17-15:40 😭😭😭😭😭😭the most cringiest promo of all time
Hogan could never defeat miss tna Bruce though
Tna died when the hawk removed the six sided ring.
The Hawk is the King of RUclips!!!

I liked joker sting. It was entertaining
2010's Hogan's run in TNA was 💩 I guess the later years was ok
I guess the later years WERE ok
^^^^
I didn't stick around to watch the "later years" 2010 was when I finally gave up on watching after the crap Hulk and Bischoff pulled.
"This is where we shed our blood, SEX, and tears"
Scott Steiner can predict the future!
Professional wrestling has had time travelers, zombies, vampires, and people raised from the dead, but the idea that a company can change hands with a single signature is what breaks your immersion. Okay.
All those things also sucked.
Except the undertaker.
@@falconmclenny7284
Sure if you overlook at lot of Undertaker’s early and later feuds.
I love aces and eight storyline it was great
I remember that promo at Wembley with Garrett Bischoff, hell I was there in the crowd. I remember it well.
Idk if it was just me I did like the immortal story. Some parts were annoying and kinda dried out but it did give us heel Jeff hardy. We know how it went but it was different and cool for sure
Joker Sting was the best part of Hulk Hogan’s TNA Run
I don’t know if AEW will do that gimmick in their show but if that happens, I think it would make a Good Heel Sting for AEW
Doubtful. I'm surprised he even has face paint. Have you seen their show? No gimmick central.
@@calebprenger3928 Yes, I have seen AEW
Lol sting looks like he doesn't even want to be in AEW..
Just shows up with a blank expression goes through the motions in a T-shirt and that's it..
It's pathetic and sad to watch. His run in AEW has just been useless.
"Hogan got back in slightly better ring shape."
Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his back so messed up he couldn't even drop the leg on that horrific Hulkamania Tour and had to use the big boot instead?
Correct sir
They really hit Abyss with a brick
