EXCLUSIVE UPDATES: Lots Of Backstage Hogan-TNA News

I've been told that TNA talent was notified via a mass text message yesterday after the press conference that Hulk Hogan had signed.

The signing of Hogan was kept a secret from some of the top individuals in TNA. A very select few knew about it.

There are people in TNA who feel Hogan is only there to promote his book. Others feel Eric Bischoff is trying to get 'in' with Kevin Kay from SpikeTV for a future reality show involving Hogan.

There are people already shaking their heads that Hogan has basically done nothing to help promote TNA during his appearances on Larry King Live and Howard Stern. He hasn't put over the company at all.

I'm told TNA will air highlights from the press conference tomorrow night on iMPACT!. That will be it for this week and then we'll see what happens at next week's TNA iMPACT! tapings on Monday and Tuesday.

As I've been reporting EXCLUSIVELY here on the website, there are talks to create a new Monday night show from 8-10EST. TNA iMPACT! will remain on Thursday night's from 9-11EST.
