When news first hit that Hogan signed with TNA Wrestling the assumption among most of us was that he would be wrestling but that is not necessarily the case. Hogan is still recovering from the back surgery he had early this year, in fact at this point it's not even certain that Hogan will ever wrestle again.  Hogan has confirmed that he will be using his upcoming tour of Australia to determine if his body is up to a return to the ring. So what exactly will Hogan be doing in TNA? Well, according to Hogan's long time friend and radio host Bubba the Love Sponge he will be booking. Bubba has been refuring to Hogan as "the boss" via his twitter page and when asked what specific role Hogan will play in TNA, Bubba said quote, "he is the Booker. Period. Saw it in his contract". He also added that "Terry and Eric won't make the same mistakes that they made at WCW."

Of course it should be noted that although Bubba the Love Sponge is friends with Hogan he was not in the room when the negotiations were going down. And even if Hogan does get involved in the booking he would not be the only one in charge of booking the show. But with that said I think letting Hogan have any kind of control in the booking a TNA is a big mistake for the company. I understand having a name like his associated with your company is a really big deal for TNA but at what cost.

Like Hogan and Bischoff or not you have to give it to TNA President Dixie Carter for bringing the two on board especially considering what Eric Bishoff said about TNA just a few months ago.

See back in February Eric Bischoff did an interview with UK's The Sun in which he ran down TNA management and in no uncertain words said they had no idea what they were doing and he couldn't help them if he tried. Take a look at this quotes from the interview:

What was the thinking behind doing CCW? Surely you and Hulk could have made a lot of money by going to TNA or even going back to work for WWE?

Neither one of us were interested in TNA. It's a small organisation that doesn't have very much vision. The best way to describe it is like WWE-lite. There was nothing exciting there for Hulk or myself.

Although Dixie Carter is a nice woman, and I'm sure very intelligent, the rest of the people in senior management there are not the sort of people we would like to work with.

As far as doing something with WWE, in Hulk's case, and to a degree in mine, it's 'been there and done that'.

We wanted to do something of our own, that we control and that we had never done before.

Have TNA approached you at all about working for them? What would be your advice to them if they want become a true challenger to the WWE like WCW was?

Sure they have.

But look, the people that are involved in the creative process and vision for TNA are people that couldn't get a job in WWE or shouldn't have had a job in WCW.

There's no vision for that company.

They are people who have never been to the dance. They've never been a part, really, of any of the decision-making processes that led to the success of the industry.

Some of them happen to have been working there while other people did it, but have never really done it for themselves. They just don't have the feel for it.

So that's the reason we wouldn't want to be there.

For me to sit down and say "listen guys, this is what you have to do to be successful" would be like telling a three-year-old how to fly an aeroplane. You can try all you want, they're never going to get it.

Even though he reportedly wont be involved in booking one can't help but wonder what has changed for Bischoff in the past 8 months as the people who are in booking will have a direct impact on his job.

Although Jeff Jarrett is still currently on a "hiatus" from TNA, he is most likely expected to return to the company in some form.

Sources within TNA are reporting that Jarrett will likely return to the company as an on-air talent, and he might even get some creative control back in a smaller capacity than he had before. It's being said that Jarrett would likely not return to the company solely as an on-air wrestler and would at least have to have some control over the booking of the product.

While nothing has been confirmed, there is also concern within the TNA locker room that the company might try to create a worked shoot out of the real life Karen Angle/Jeff Jarrett situation, and bring Kurt Angle into the mix on TNA TV.

I don't really care what the end result of this high school like drama will turn out to be, and Jeff Jarrett shouldn't either. At the end of the day, he's still coming home to KAREN FREAKIN' ANGLE.
