Is Hulk Hogan Going to Leave TNA?

Is Hulk Hogan going to leave TNA?

That seems to be what former WWE Superstar the Honky Tonk Man seems to think.

The Honky Tonk Man has been on quite a roll lately, spewing forth opinions and rants on his website about the 2005 WWE Hall of Famer, talking about problems that arose between them regarding TNA and his Hulk Hogan & Friends Tour (not to be confused with the first few months he showed up at Impact).

Some people have dismissed HTM as a bitter individual who is just jumping on the "Hate Hulk Hogan Bandwagon", but HTM has made a fair point about the fact that the Hulkster is set to appear in WWE's new "All-Stars of Wrestling" game. I actually agree with HTM; it is insulting to TNA, Dixie Carter and the people in charge that Hulk Hogan is doing a deal with WWE. I know his contract allows for outside merchandising deals, but good grief -- there should be a limit! That would be like Christian showing up in a TNA game while in WWE. Does anyone think Vince would allow it? No! Dixie shouldn't either.

What is interesting right now is that HTM is claiming that Hulk Hogan is getting ready to leave TNA, considering he and Eric Bischoff have not helped the program one iota since their arrival last January. This comes hot on the heels of news that Hogan's longtime friend and manager, Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart, has left his post at TNA, to return to WWE, where Hogan claimed he would be involved in the speculated Jerry Lawler-Michael Cole match. On a side note, Hogan claims he did not give the surprise away, but frankly, Hogan should know that Vince tries to keep stuff like this a secret during WrestleMania time, so his "ignorance" is not going to fly here. I should note, however, that he also claims that he assumed this, as he hadn't talked to the WWE Hall of Famer in a month.

On HTM's website, recently, he wrote:

"HTM has been told Hogan will bolt to WWE if asked. Sources within

TNA have said that Hogan will leave EB behind ike a rat. Hogan is on his

way out of TNA. Dixie has had to advance money to Ric Flair to pay

off his debts. Strange things are happening at TNA! Hogan's TNA

contract is results and incentive based so either can walk any time.

HTM said it first, Hogan is on his way out."

Not much is known about the TNA contracts of Hogan and Bischoff, but I think it would be safe to assume that WWE could pay Hogan more than what TNA is paying him, on top of the merchandising deals, so Hogan probably would go back if he was asked. This is purely speculation, by the way. I have to agree with HTM, here, though; how can we buy him being so staunchly behind TNA when he's more than okay with appearing in the competition's video game?

If he is on his way out of TNA, let him take Bischoff with him. The product has suffered (just in my opinion), and it would be nice to not have an opening segment that starts with either of them.
