Hulk Hogan suggested Jeff Hardy is still onboard to work for TNA after Hardy made his surprise return on the January 4 live Impact despite some questions about whether TNA would continue to use Hardy with his current legal issues.

Hogan said on Rob Van Dam's radio show last night that he talked to Hardy on Tuesday about some "crazy ideas" for Hardy's role on TNA TV. Hogan also gave RVD the sales pitch to join TNA and work with Hardy.

"At the end of the day, it's a situation where everyone wants to be here. I was on the phone with Jeff Hardy last night and we were talking about you and we had some ideas doing some fun things," Hogan told RVD.

Later in the radio show, Hogan made a guarantee that the crazy ideas with Hardy will work. He didn't say what they are, as Hogan and Hardy were apparently just having a stream of consciousness creative session over the phone.

"I walked into the pot of gold with all of these wrestlers and all this talent. Me and Jeff Hardy are on the phone coming up with some of the most whacked ideas in the world and I guarantee they're going to work," Hogan said in his classic "positive energy" way of speaking.

Caldwell's Analysis: I'll have a column on this later today, but based on listening to Hogan's entire sales pitch on RVD's show last night, it's apparent TNA is either going to blow up in a good way or blow up in a bad way. The "whacked out ideas" with Hardy is a microcosm of the overall picture of TNA's potential for major success or major failure right now.
