I have friends who have no interest in watching TNA, but when they heard of HulkHogan and Sting fighting, they were in and they are buying the show for those guys. I'm looking forward to it and i know it'll deliver what i want: Fun. I'm not buying into Meltzer and Alvarez's sensationalistic view that it will be hurrendous because it is funny to dog on things and always look for the negative.
IJust wish Hogan the best. I've met the dude and he is a sweet man, so good luck to him.
Sting beating Hogan and Dixie returning at BFG is the only way they will go. It'd be the feel good moment.”
Well said, here. Apart from "hurrnedous."
I won't be basing it off technical ability, but there's still a lot of storytelling (which Hogan keeps banging on about TNA stars not doing enough of) as well as the whole thing making sense.
It is a great thing to have for nostalgic reasons, and makes a change having a sane person telling people that a match with this sort of star power MUST be on a PPV, and not on free TV with thousands of run-ins, and while I think the PPV match will have run-ins, I really hope they aren't going to water it down with them. As said before one spurt of Immortal and Fortune battling for a moment, allowing a quick break in the "fight" between Sting and Hogan.

This isn't a bad call. I'd expect TNA to do this. Build up this feud so hard, then have Hogan come out in jeans and a shirt, saying he's sorry for what he's done and gives the company back to Dixie, with Sting just on the ramp going "WTF?!"

It's funny that Hogan thinks people are listening to him, when everyone already knows AJ is the current AND the future of the company.
