In a recent interview, Hulk Hogan made some interesting comments that can be interpreted as a desire to go to TNA.

Comments on TNA vs. WWE:

"I watch both products. (TNA's) like the little engine that could. Everybody thought they wouldn't be around for long, and they've been chugging along for seven years. They gain momentum every week. They seem to be real fresh. When a lot of guys go over to that side of the fence, they seem to get a spring in their step. Vince is the constant. He's the standard of excellence. I just love watching his show because you never know what he is going to do. Plus, the production -- you can't even touch his production. It's so dialed-in. It's amazing just to see how they put the pieces together."

Comments on Pro-Wrestling History:

"If you look at history, everyone says, 'History repeats itself.' With all of the choices in the universe of entertainment, I look at the big package and look at the big picture from 40,000 feet. I see history repeating itself. I see TNA getting strong. I see Vince McMahon being impeccable except for a few little holes in the boat."

Comments on what TNA is Lacking:

"TNA is lacking that one momentum-shifting move, that one big name that would even the playing field, the brand (that is) just as powerful as the WWE brand. (TNA's) lacking the big piece of the puzzle. It wouldn't matter who did what in the past. It will be a totally even playing field. You never know."

My opinion: This is Hulk Hogan talk for "Yes I am interested in making some money. TNA you need me" ... But here's the thing, they do need one more big star but it isn't Hulk Hogan. They went down that road already and it blew up in TNA's face when Hogan decided to do his own thing. I think adding a Stone Cold Steve Austin and more appearance by Bobby Lashley would make things a bit more balanced.
