This past Thursday night’s TNA iMPACT with the Hulk Hogan announcement scored a 1.3 cable rating, up about 20% from previous weeks. iMPACT this week went up against the World Series, college basketball and the NBA.

Nice little increase considering he wasn't in the Impact Zone and they were merely slotting in highlights from the Press Conference.  Brother!

I'm clearly watching too much nWo at the moment but I really want him and Bischoff to come in as heels  

Also, an insight into what Bischoff thought of the company when interviewed by The Sun earlier this year...

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...There was nothing exciting there for Hulk or myself.

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?

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. 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.
