Backstage Hogan-TNA Update, Piper/RAW Guest Host Update

Roddy Piper is under consideration to host the November 16th edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, which will take place in Madison Square Garden. WWE is currently negotiating with another possible host for the show (rumored to be NY Yankee Players – possibly Johnny Damon), but if it doesn't work out, Piper would get the call.

As mentioned earlier, Hulk Hogan's signing with TNA was a hot topic at the WWE tapings on Tuesday. The general feeling among WWE wrestlers was that Hogan and Eric Bischoff will ruin TNA. Nobody in WWE seems concerned about TNA because of the signing.

Regardless of what is being said publicly, Hogan is telling his friends, and the wrestlers he is recruiting, that he is now in charge of TNA and that nobody is above him except Bob Carter (Dixie Carter's father who funds the promotion).

Hulk Hogan said during a local radio appearance in Chicago that TNA will be filming footage at his booking signing at the Borders on North Michigan Avenue.
