Some of the Hulkster’s most interesting comments came when the subject of WWE vs. TNA came up.

“I watch both products. (TNA’s) like the little engine that could. Everybody thought they wouldn’t be around for long, and they’ve been chugging along for seven years. They gain momentum every week. They seem to be real fresh. When a lot of guys go over to that side of the fence, they seem to get a spring in their step,” Hogan said. He added that he also watched the WWE product saying, ” Vince is the constant. He’s the standard of excellence. I just love watching his show because you never know what he is going to do. Plus, the production — you can’t even touch his production. It’s so dialed-in. It’s amazing just to see how they put the pieces together.”

“If you look at history, everyone says, ‘History repeats itself.’ With all of the choices in the universe of entertainment, I look at the big package and look at the big picture from 40,000 feet. I see history repeating itself. I see TNA getting strong. I see Vince McMahon being impeccable except for a few little holes in the boat.”

Hogan continued, “TNA is lacking that one momentum-shifting move, that one big name that would even the playing field, the brand (that is) just as powerful as the WWE brand. (TNA’s) lacking the big piece of the puzzle. It wouldn’t matter who did what in the past. It will be a totally even playing field. You never know.”

A judge in Pinellas County, Florida has denied Hulk Hogan’s request for Linda Hogan’s 19-year-old boyfriend Charlie Hill to be prohibited from driving Hogan-owned cars.

While the judge did state that “it would appear to be exceedingly imprudent” to keep Charlie from behind the wheel, the request was still denied. Hulk Hogan’s attorney told TMZ.com, “This issue certainly isn’t over… clearly from [the judge's] statement from this hearing that in principal he agrees with our position but legally does not feel he is able to grant an injunction.” To view the legal documents, visit TMZ.com.
