Jeff Jarrett recalls fans booing Hulk Hogan in TNA.
Hulk Hogan's stint in TNA is widely disliked by fans of the promotion, with some even blaming the company's severe decline on 'The Hulkster' himself.
Shortly after making their arrival to the company in 2010, Hogan and Eric Bischoff made the choice to get rid of the six-sided ring in favor of a traditional four-sided ring. This decision was met with a ton of backlash, as many fans preferred the unique style of the six-sided ring.
During the latest edition of his My World podcast, Jeff Jarett spoke to Conrad Thompson about Hogan and his incompetence as a leader.
“Talk about living in the bubble. Look, I mean, I’m always cache if I have to describe Hogan. I believe he’s the biggest box office attraction this business has ever produced. I think that includes Cena, I think that includes Rock, Undertaker, you name it. Anyway, so with all due respect, Hogan not having a clue what TNA Wrestling was all about — the six-sided ring, all of that, he was so far away from who our audience was. Again, I’ve always said, that’s on Dixie. That’s 100% on her. Why she didn’t say, Hulk, this six-sided ring got us shelf space and we’ve sold a lot of licensing on it and the way we look at it and Spike looks at it. They ain’t going to tell you no for any reason because you’re Hulk Hogan but let me just give you some context on this and that. I mean, they booed him on night one. Can you imagine how Kevin K and Spike felt? The big savior of TNA quote unquote that didn’t need saving, was on the right track, is gonna walk out there and they’re booing him on night one? It’s just like, guys, do y’all not see the forest? Nope, you can’t because of the trees. It was just unbelievable. Just a total disconnect on every [level]. Poor Orlando Jordan and the Nasty Boys and Val Venus. It was just everything that TNA wasn’t.”
