Can somone explain to me what this Indian TNA thing is???

TNA's solution to everything. Do Sh*t outside of TNA, because TNA should not be the focus.

That shed allot of light onto this, thanks Danny....

No worries, but that's about all it is.

A promotion in India ran by TNA. With some TNA talent and former TNA talent as well as former Indian cricket player, Harbhajan Singh.
Chris Masters and Chavo Guerrero aren't former TNA talent....

Sh*t, sorry I didn't get it all correct.

TNA star Hulk Hogan posted a video to Twitter on Thursday night, calling out Sting for a confrontation at TNA’s upcoming tour of the UK.

Hogan, who was out with longtime associates Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Brutus Beefcake and The Nasty Boys, claims he is the only member of the group who was not drinking alcohol. We'll let you be the judge.

Here's the video:

Hulk Hogan Explains His Comments Against Bobby Roode Before Bound for Glory
Posted by Jeremy Thomas on 01.27.2012

What was up with that?

- Hulk Hogan recently spoke about his recommendation that Bobby Roode not win the World Title at Bound For Glory, his comment that Roode wasn't "the guy" and more. Hogan said that he didn't think Roode had what was needed as a babyface and needed to go heel to get that extra edge.

"It was my opinion, and it was a simple gut feeling to do what was best for the company," Hogan said. "I was sitting watching Roode's parents saying what a great son he is and his wife saying what a great husband he is and his kids saying what a great dad he is. He's the ultimate good guy. He's going to win the belt! But, then what? Who does he wrestle? So, I sat back and thought, ‘You guys have just done one of the best old school wrestling angles I've ever seen.'"

He added, "[Turning Roode heel] give him that extra spice – then he'll have everyone to work with, rather than throw him out there and set him up for failure."

He noted that he expected to be vilified for the comments. "It was just me trying to take a step back, throwing in my two cents. They didn't have to do it – I didn't make anyone do anything. It just makes sense."

Agree or not with his sentiments, it's hard to argue that Roode isn't getting a damn good response as a heel.

Seconded! Heck why not give it go, I think it's working out fine!

Danny · « **Reply #385 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:13:04 PM »

Yeah, but what a stupid way to go about it. The time when he made the comments before the PPV where the guy who has received the huge push going into your biggest PPV of the year. Then the egomaniac pops up with his comments, Roode doesn't win and we end the show with sad looking Roode. Then we go into Impact where in the next few weeks we see two new champions.

But hey, they got there in the end!

Sting may have suffered an injury at the Impact tapings. Hebner threw up the X post match and Sting appeared to struggle walking afterward as he exited.

Meanwhile Hogan has been doing a ton of media where ... well he made Matt Hardy look stable. I'm sure it's all for effect but he came off as legit crazy. He claimed he knocked back the leads in Highlander & The Wrestler, that Lars offered him the bassist gig in an early version of Metallica and a whole heap of other nonsense that is unbelievable rubbish. It's worth hunting some of it down just to see how crazy it all sounds.

According to several TNA sources, Vince Russo is no longer a part of the TNA creative team, and former WWE creative team member Dave Lagana is now the new head of TNA creative. The previous head of creative had been Bruce Prichard, who as far as we have been told is still working with TNA.

Dave Lagana had formerly been working with TNA on the new Ring Ka King promotion in India. More on this developing story as it becomes available.

According to F4Wonline, Vince Russo was ousted as head writer of TNA several days ago.

However, PWInsider reports that Dave Lagana, who has been booking TNA's Ring Ka King Promotion in India, will not be replacing him as had been reported earlier today. Lagana is at tonight's Against All Odds PPV to help produce backstage segments.

The PWInsider report notes that Russo is not at the PPV, and there are those within the company that believe he is gone. Nothing has been confirmed as of this writing.

further news from PWInsider

As noted earlier, in regards to reports going around, Dave Lagana is not replacing Vince Russo as the head of TNA Creative. Lagana is at tonight's Against All Odds pay-per-view to help out, according to one top source within TNA. Lagana was hired by TNA to work on Ring Ka King and other projects, not the Impact brand. He is at the pay-per-view tonight helping with backstage segments.

Russo is not at the pay-per-view tonight and while some believe he is gone, nothing has been announced to the TNA roster or staff yet.

The head of TNA creative remains Bruce Prichard. Russo and Matt Conway have been writing scripts for Impact in recent months with those scripts going to Prichard for tinkering and then Eric Bischoff for his own feedback in production meetings at TV tapings or pay-per-views.

Do you think Lagana might be helping with backstage segments tonight?
