Hope you are all as well as I am. I'm enjoying my two days off so it's all fantastically good. :)
Anyway, time for some gossip....
Hulk Hogan did a radio interview on Sirius Radio's Busted Open in which he talked about Robert Roode, James Storm, and on Jeff Hardy.
On Robert Roode he said....
".....he's not ready. He's not the next guy. Ya' know, they might think he is. Dixie Carter might think he is. The whole world might think he is. He's not the next guy."
"This is much more than being a wrestler, this is crossing barriers, medias, ya' know media barriers,and, and entertainment barriers of all kind. Getting your character down verbally has 90% to do with getting over."
Honestly! Hulk Hogan! Why would he say stuff like this? When I first read this I was like "He's basically putting down a young upstart wrestler!" I don't understand what he has against B. Roode but I think Hulk Hogan needs to look away from the past wrestlers and look towards the wrestlers of the future. Robert Roode is a great wrestler. He's fantastic on the mic and has been involved in some of the best storylines that TNA has ever had. I like Robert Roode so I may be a bit biased but come on! I think he's the next guy and I think that he will prove that at Bound For Glory.
On the other hand, Hulk has nothing but nice words for James Storm, Roode's tag team partner.
"I'd go with James Storm all day long. Mainstream brotha'!......if you ask me to choose who to run with', and you gave me those two choices? That's my opinion."
I like both Storm and Roode personally although as a main eventer I think Roode does have what it takes. I don't fully understand what Hogan is going on about, but then again, he isn't one that I fully trust either.
In terms of Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan has basically said that if he can keep himself clean and get back to being the charasmatic enigma that we all know and love, he will be the guy!
".....I'd say Jeff Hardy's the next guy if he keeps his act together. Well, I think he's got a lot of shine to him, I mean he just doesn't have 5 star matches. He shines outside the ring. He walks through the mall, and people know who he is. He's got a look, he's got an air about him. He's got the 'IT' factor.........Jeff Hardy has the potential to really be the guy."
This is what I like to hear. Positive stuff being said by people in higher powers about wrestlers. Not burying them. I think Jeff deserves his chance. He's cleaned up and he's been doing everything possible to propel himself back into the front line. Let's hope that at Bound For Glory, he gets a match and it shows to the audience and the boys in the locker-room at TNA that the "HARDY PARTY BEGINS!!!!!"
Honestly, I think Hulk Hogan really needs to be careful with what he says and who he says it about. I can't imagine that Roode is going to take too kindly to being basically buried by someone who is a so called "legend". I think the Hulkster needs a reality check and fast.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth for today.
Until next time,
You know you love me xoxo
