This Week's TNA IMPACT! Rating + Hogan Invites NFL Star To TNA
– ESPN.com has posted an interview with Hulk Hogan. In it, Hogan talks about Bart Scott from the New York Jets and his pro wrestling-like promo after the Jets-Pats game last week. "It was like one of my mid-'80s promos, and all that was missing were a few 'What are you gonna dos?' and some lightning bolts in there. It was right on the money. I think it's cool that [Scott] is stepping up and showboating it a bit, because it's about personality and entertaining people, too. I could tell Bart had been watching wrestling, and it's pretty cool because a lot of these guys are afraid to step outside the box. ... Sometimes when you say stuff you believe it and it happens, Hogan said. When asked if Scott could make it in pro wrestling, he said: "Oh yeah. When his career's over and he wants to make some real money, tell him to give me a call and we'll break him in the right way." Real money? This coming from a dude who just took a pay cut!
