Hulk Hogan spoke to Minnesota’s City Pages newspaper about his relationship with WWE owner Vince McMahon in the 80’s, how much power he has in TNA, and his feelings on the TNA partnership announcement at historic Madison Square Garden.

Hogan made claims that McMahon “Didn’t really understand the business” when buying the company from his father Vince McMahon, Sr. Hogan goes on to say he moved in next door to the McMahon’s and “Taught Vince everything from weightlifting and motorcycle riding, to the wrestling business and making money, and I feel like that’s what I’m doing again with TNA.”

Hogan also made himself seem like the savior of TNA. He said that he has a “Vince McMahon role” in the company. Hogan made his case by saying "All I told these guys was that they should give me a chance. If they didn't like what I was doing they can tell me to take a hike, but let me have the chance to come in and take a shot at it. Let the fans and the other wrestlers take a look and decide for themselves what they're in to and I'm confident that I will get this thing rocking."

Hogan has already credited himself with generating the most buzz in TNA history. As for the announced partnership with TNA at Madison Square Garden and its significance Hogan said “The proof is already out there. In the course of a few days we’ve got more buzz for TNA wrestling then it’s had in seven years, For example, no other wrestling organization had ever been able to get into Madison Square Garden in New York for like, 100 years, because Vince owns it and his family owned it before him. So I came out and was like watch this, and we did a press conference at MSG.”
