At today's Impact tapings, the word about the "new concept" that Hulk Hogan was been saying would "change the business" and be "momentum-shifting" is something where TNA will be calling on their fans to film TNA wrestlers whenever they may encounter them, in or out of the ring.

It almost sounds like a TMZ-style "paparazzi" thing, with people trying to film the every move of the TNA wrestlers.

Early reports are that the idea isn't going over very well with the TNA locker room, with one person pointing out that Hogan is perhaps the last person who should promote something like this with the way his own personal videos are coming back to haunt him these days.

Even though I should, i'm not going to totally shit on this until i've read the spoilers, but I just don't understand this at all. I mean I know kayfabe isn't what it used to be but this is just ridiculous.

This is stupid. I never knew Hogan would really be this bad for TNA. Him, both the Bitchoffs and Dixie all need to go far a way from the wrestling business.

If I was an indy wrestler and my only options were to join TNA or remain in the indies, this is definitely incentive to remain in the indies. Fuck that.

I really don't get how this will help. When I read about Hogan wanting fans to be more interactive I was thinking that he would get them to vote on match stipulations or get them to pick opponents by using Twitter or something like that. Really don't know what they want to achieve with fans filming the wrestlers other than cutting down on production costs.

This is the most pointless idea I have ever heard of that came from TNA and they have done a lot of pointless things. Don't see the upside to this in any way let alone it being something that "changes the business"

Hogan needs to step away from the wrestling industry before he really buries his head in the sand.

If by 'change the business' he means TNA goes under, then yes this will indeed change the business.

Guess we have to watch it to find out that this really is bad, so there's some vieweres. Don't knock it till you've tried it.

What another shitty concept. But what do you expect from that crappy company and their crappy employees.

LOL Hogan, you absolute muppet. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard! How the hell is this meant to "change the business" and be "momentum shifting"?

Guy's delusional and any TNA officials who back this are delusional too. Poor TNA roster.
