Jim Cornette had the best take about the Hogan-Bischoff takeover and the attempt at a Monday Night War: "The old man should have hit the ring. Bob Carter with a baseball bat. 'THIS IS WHAT YOU DID WITH MY MONEY?!' as he cleaned the place out." 😂😂😂
He stayed way after Bischoff and Hogan. He would get these secret emails and he was the one who screwed up the SpikeTV deal. They wanted him gone, but Dixie secretly kept him.
It's why its probably not true she was already talking to Hogan and Bisch when she let Jarrett go. As that was early 2009 and late 2009 was Hogan announcement. Jarrett was because of the whole lying about Karen Angle debacle.
Bischoff: Let's have all the big names in TNA join Immortal and Fortune...Then combine the groups into 1...and then we can be the Leaders of them all! Hogan: As long as The Hulkster gets Top Billing, that works for me Brother!
@@1980Triumph Okay, everything Bisch and Russo did was done in Japan as far as the 80s, Southwest Wrestling did the takeover angle in 83 to 85, but okay
I can truly say that under the wcw 3 is kurt angle. Although he had hs share of mess ups, he had a fantastic career in tna ( i know he came before then )
TNA was soo good before hogan and bischoff came in. I watch the repeats on Pluto and I’m still in awe at how good the matches were and the show in general.
Dixie Carter is a mark and pretty much listened to the wrong people. That's why TNA went bye bye. She brought in 3 of the worst people you could which was Hogan, Russo and Bischoff and paid them way more money than they was worth while running off home grown talent like AJ Styles. They want AJ to take a 60% pay cut and do twice as many dates so she could pay people like Hogan for nothing and next to nothing.
I expected Terry Taylor to be the caller lmao. Gotta disagree with Dutch, they got worse, eg. young stars having their TV time given to the Nasty Boys, Bubba the Love Sponge, etc.
Dixie is the reason that Jeff and his father Jerry Jarrett were astranged for several years. Jeff got Jerry to partner with the Carter's to start TNA and Dixie was the reason Jerry felt that he needed to get out and Jeff felt like His Dad was abandoning him. Jerry Telling the story is on you tube recorded before His death. Thankfully He an Jeff reunited a few years before Jerry died.
Imagine being the person to tell Dutch Mantell & Jim Cornette that you don't want them working for your wrestling company anymore, but that you will be keeping Vince Russo and then be bringing in Hogan & Bischoff to replace you? If I was ever that person, I'd have to be from Bizarro World because that is just the opposite of success.
That's what people remember from that time. That Hogan convinced Dixie he could do for TNA what he did for WcW when he arrived there, but in the end, TNA went no where but Hogan made the money.
I felt that it came after Jeff and Russo had their disagreement about Jim Cornette. Russo felt embarrassed and snitched Jeff Jarrett out to Dixie and the fall began.
ME! ME! TNA was in Profit due to the revenue from the Worldwide TV Rights. They were solvent just as they decided to employ Bischof and Hogan. Pre-tape was cheaper and they went live in the Hogan/Bischof era and burned money.
So, Hogan and Bischoff come in to the only alternative to WWE, and change the ring shape back to a standard square, losing 20% of the viewers who liked the different style. Then they destroyed the X division, which was their biggest draw, probably losing another 40% of viewers, then decide to move to Monday nights to go against RAW, losing the 10% of wrestling fans who watched it to get their wrestling fix in between the two WWE shows. Sorry, but if you want to have a successful wrestling promotion, driving off 70% of your audience isn't the way to do it! Wonder how much VKM was paying them on the qt.....
People need to stop living in the past when it comes to Impact. You all just can't move on from 2013. Impact right now is better than AEW and WWE combined, but news sites would rather kiss Tony Khlown's ass instead of promoting quality wrestling. The thing that almost killed Impact was Hogan and Bischoff. Impact was making money before they showed up. The decision to go live on Mondays quickly bled all the company's money putting them in the red.
Moving on from bookers or whatever is fine and normal but if they have months left let them write their way out especially since you're still paying them.
I can't throw blame on dixie honest, she was manipulated by individuals who only were "in it" for themselves...the biggest mistake ever by TNA was bringing in Hogan and bischoff, add that idiot Russo to the mix, and the company took a hit that nearly buried it...and its STILL trying to climb out of that hole
@@handsolo1209 How would you know if that was Russo? The Creative Team at the time was large with Ferrara, Matt Conway, Jeremy Borash there and a couple days after McGuinness debuted, Bischoff and Hogan came in. I kinda doubt that the same retard who thought strippers in cages, a "electrified" cage match or Samoa Joe getting abducted by Ninjas were good ideas, could produce anything good like that.
Dixie deserves her own share of the blame for being such a clueless mark that never tried to smarten up @@handsolo1209 that's like saying a broken clock is right twice a day
TNA went from cool to lame to unwatchable. I have kept my ear out and caught quite a few good to great matches from Impact over the last decade or so but the Dixie Carter era ruined it for me as a wrestling fan. Russo killed WCW and turned the wrestling industry in to a single company monopoly who straight away knew they held all the cards and could produce content for sponsors and networks instead of for the fans. THAT is who Carter chose to listen to. Hogan? The human golden shovel? F him as his ego was a large part of why WCW failed. Bishoff? The delusional weasel copilot when WCW died? The person responsible for hiring Mark Madden and putting him at the desk? F Eric Bishoff and his slappable little face.
How can he forget mentioning that Cornette also went? Lol. Also while possible it's not plausible that it was due to Hogan at the start otherwise Russo would have gone as well. It started with Jeff lying to Dixie about Karen Angle so she went for Russo and then looked for a Jarrett replacement in Bisch/Hogan.
Panda kept TNA going, despite losing money, because it was a tax write off against the revenue they were making on their core business. Companies like that can run for years, as long as their losses help the balance sheet for the owner. For instance, Borders was in financial trouble well before they went bankrupt. Their owner was also their chief creditor, using them as a write off for his portfolio, balancing out the gains on the other components, extending them more and more credit to keep going. it was only when their losses were no longer beneficial to his portfolio did he shut them down. Same thing for Panda.
@@ShadowAngel1860 ok, thanks...I'd still like to hear his thoughts on the incident. (I've talked to Jesse often online but I dont bring the issue up out of respect)
Why doesn’t Hogan catch more flak for the destruction of WCW and TNA? Hogans 8million dollar lawsuit after Bash at the Beach was a big hit to the company. And Bischoff and Hogan helped bring down TNA. Hogan only cares about Hulk and not the business that made him.
That is BS, the new owners are the ones who ruined WCW, heck Bischoff wasn't even really running the company at the end. The whole blaming Hogan for everything is ridiculous as if he actually ran a company and the talent. Hogan had more control over others career in the WWF than in WCW and TNA. Saying Hogan doesn't care about the business is ridiculous - WCW brought in Russo which killed both WCW and TNA
@@MarquisLeary34 yeah see that is ridiculous and has become its own monster. The fans have warped everything he says for this list that is, "longer than a roll of toilet paper."

@@1980Triumph Russo was at TNA for ten years I don’t think he brought it down. I didn’t say failure of WCW was all Hogan only that the lawsuit didn’t help. All wrestlers are in it for themselves but no one more than Hogan even when he didn’t need it and didn’t care if it was best for the show or not. Creative control
Hogan took alot of money off the top in both cases, but it was other people who creatively and financially ran the businesses into the ground. Bringing in Hulk was not necessarily a bad idea. But bringing in people like Bischoff and Russo was a terrible idea.
To this day he lies about WCW's ratings, claiming they went up when he got there and TNA was eveyrbody's else fault, to the point were he seriously claims that the idiotic Electrified Cage Match was Dutch Mantell's idea. What do you think? Of course he still thinks he's the greatest gift to wrestling (and some dumb marks even still believe it)
It's easy to forget that Hogan coming in brought LOTS of eyes on to TNA. Hogan is undeniable star power. If they could have kept a combination of Dutch and also brought in the stars, that could have been success. Jeff Jarrett is not brilliant. Jeff is good for Jeff. Look at how he is somehow on regular weekly TV still on aew. No reason that nearly 60 year old jarrett should be part of any modern day in ring story.
Those eyes were only for a minute. Hogan's debut show did a 1.5 rating which was an all time high. They were averaging a 1.0 prior and after that first week it went back to a 1.0.
@@1980Triumph Well they did bring in Orlando Jordan and the Nasty Boys. Got rid of the 6 sided ring. Put a weight cap on the X division.
