JOSHG Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/JOSHG85/TNAHULKAMANIA.jpg “Hulkamania” is back! The biggest name in professional wrestling history, Hulk Hogan, is joining Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling (TNA), the fastest rising wrestling organization in the world and home to one of cable television’s highest rated shows for young men, TNA iMPACT! The announcement was made today by TNA Wrestling in conjunction with Spike TV at a press conference held in New York City. “Hulk Hogan is one of the world’s top pop culture icons and the biggest superstar in the history of professional wrestling. We are truly excited to welcome him into the TNA family,” said Dixie Carter, President of TNA Wrestling. “Our goal is to become the world’s biggest professional wrestling company. Hulk defines professional wrestling and we look forward to partnering with him in a variety of ways as we continue to grow TNA globally.” “I’m thrilled to be jumping back into the world of professional wrestling,” said Hogan. “My fans have been asking me to return to the business for many years on a full time basis, but the timing or the opportunity has never been right until now. TNA Wrestling is a great company with an already excellent fan base, business and broadcast partner. I firmly believe now is the time for some change at TNA as they are positioned to jump to the next level in their development and I’m here to work with Dixie to help make that a reality.” Through Hogan’s partnership with Bischoff Hervey Entertainment Television, the deal with TNA was negotiated by longtime Hogan colleague Eric Bischoff. Additionally, BHE TV has inked a first-look deal with TNA and will be working with the organization to develop new programming extensions of the TNA brand. “Hulk Hogan adds yet another level of star power that positions TNA iMPACT as Spike TV’s version of ‘Must-See TV’ on Thursday nights,” said Kevin Kay, president of Spike. Hogan most recently penned an autobiography with Mark Dagostino, “My Life Outside The Ring” with St. Martin’s Press. http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/JOSHG85/hh4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOSHG Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 October 27th, 2009 Today started like any other day. I slept in, got up around lunch and began to look for work. Things have been a bit slow as of late with the economy and all there wasn't much of a place for freelance video editors these days. Little did I know that this was the beginning of events that would change my life forever... 2pm *RING! RING! RING!* Joshua Gaines - Hello! Micah Gaines - Dude! What's up brother! Joshua Gaines - Hey Micah what's going on? Micah Gaines - I'm marking out like a five year old right now! Joshua Gaines - What's going on? Micah Gaines - Go to TNA's website. As I logged on I was shocked at what I saw http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/JOSHG85/HOGANINTNA.jpg Joshua Gaines - WOW! This is possibly the biggest news in wrestling that I have seen in a LONG time. Micah Gaines - It's sick isn't it?!??!? Joshua Gaines - It's wild to say the least. Micah Gaines - I can't wait to see iMPACT this week! Joshua Gaines - You want to come over and we can watch it together? Micah Gaines - Sounds awesome, do you want me to bring anything. Joshua Gaines - Yeah bring some wings from Mulligan's. Micah Gaines - Cool...I'll see you on Thursday. Joshua Gaines - See you then....BROTHER!!! I was happy for Hogan and for Bischoff/Hervey entertainment. One of the last gigs I had was editing Hulk Hogan's Celebrity wrestling on CMT........yeah I know......it was a horrible show. It was a cool gig though growing up a wrestling fan and a HUGE Hogan fan it was cool to get to rub elbows with him. Surprisingly I actually got closer with Eric Bischoff through the process than "The Immortal One". Bischoff and I would sit in the editing room and talk wrestling all the time. Often we would be in there for hours throwing ideas back and forth. I still get the occasional email from him about different possible projects that he may have for me to work on. This makes me really happy for Eric...hopefully him and "Hollywood" can get TNA back on track. OCTOBER 29th, 2009 5pm I've been waiting since Tuesday for tonight...the night Hulk Hogan comes to TNA! *RING! RING! RING!* Joshua Gaines: Hello! Eric Bischoff: Joshua! Joshua Gaines: Mr. Bischoff?!?!? Eric Bischoff: Yes, hey man how are you doing? Joshua Gaines: I'm doing well...things are a bit slow, but I'm making it. Eric Bischoff: That's great! Hey have you heard the latest news about Bischoff/Hervey Entertainment? Joshua Gaines: Actually I did! I've got my brother and some friends coming over to watch the show tonight...can't wait to see what you guys do! Eric Bischoff: Well....we didn't have much to do with the show tonight, it was already filmed before we signed. Next week things will experience some changes though. Joshua Gaines: I'm glad you've thrown you're hat back into the wrestling business. You still have some great ideas Sir. Eric Bischoff: Yeah about that, you said you're slow right now as far as work goes? Joshua Gaines: Yes sir. Eric Bischoff: How would you like a job with TNA Wrestling? Joshua Gaines: WOW! Edit for TNA....that would be a DREAM JOB! Eric Bischoff: No, not editing? Joshua Gaines: .......what do you want me to do then? Eric Bischoff: Look, you've got some great ideas and I'm always looking for great idea men to help me out. I want you to come on as part of the creative team with Terry, me and a few others. Joshua Gaines: Sir, with all due respect, I have absolutley no experience in creative or booking. Eric Bischoff: I realize that..... but you have potential and an imagination. Everything won't be up to you, you'll be a part of a team that will put together the shows and some of your ideas are really good. Look, why don't you just come try it out for a month and see how it goes. Joshua Gaines: Sir, this is an honor to even be considered. Eric Bischoff: Just say yes, and give it a shot. Joshua Gaines: What do I need to do? Eric Bischoff: GREAT! Watch iMPACT tonight, have fun! In the morning catch a flight to Orlando and we'll begin working immediately. We have some planning to do! Joshua Gaines: Okay Mr. Bischoff...I'll see you tomorrow. Eric Bischoff: We'll see you then. I can't believe it. Did I just bite off more than I can chew? I'm going to be part of the booking team for TNA. This is mind boggling...I will get to work hands on with the sport that I love....and I though working on Hulk Hogan's CCW was awesome. Just wait till my brother and friends heart this...TNA HERE I COME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSHG Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 October 30th, 2009 Early this morning I hopped on a flight from Tallahasse to Orlando...a quick flight but one that seemed to take forever. The entire flight I just kept jotting down ideas of what TNA could do. I was excited about several ideas and some ideas on where to go with the current direction of the company. I landed in Orlando and was picked up by none other than Jimmy Hart. Jimmy Hart: GAINES! It's good to see you again baby! Hulkster and Easy E are so excited about you being part of the new TNA! *So I guess Jimmy is involved as well...Jimmy is a good guy that I got to know a little bit during the filming of CCW* Joshua Gaines: Hey Jimmy, it's good to see you as well. So if I can ask why are we meeting here and not in Nashville? Jimmy Hart: I'm sure Hulk and Eric can explain more, but they want to meet in the iMPACT Zone with all of the new creative team and go ahead and begin to lay out the future for the company. Joshua Gaines: Sounds great! Jimmy Hart: Hop in baby! We're going to Universal! *After a quick ride to the park we arrived at Soundstage 21...better known at The iMPACT Zone! Inside we met up with Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Jeremy Borash, Mike Tenay, Scott D'Amore, Simon Diamond and Taz. We all took our seats at a table that was set up in the middle of the ring in the iMPACT Zone and the meeting began* Eric Bischoff: Welcome to each and everyone of you, our new booking team. As you will probably realize Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara are not here. They opted out of their contracts whenever Terry and I came on board. We are honored to have at this table men from several different backgrounds. I've been an executive in wrestling as well as an announcer, Jeremy Borash is one of the most entertaining men in the business, Mike Tenay "The Professor" is one of the most knowledgable men in the game ever, Pat Kenney better known as Simon Diamond and Taz were involved with a revolution in ECW, Joshua Gaines brings an eye for TV as well as some fresh ideas and of course we have the "LEGENDARY" HULK HOGAN! *I honestly could not believe I was sitting with these guys* Eric Bischoff: Hulk, would you like to add anything? Hulk Hogan: Guys, let me tell you something. Two months ago I would have never thought that Eric and I would be in this position. Something happened one day though and I just woke up and wanted to be in mainstream wrestling again. I don't know if it was prepping for Australia or what it was, but I'm back and I'm going to be back in a BIG way. Vince McMahon doesn't think the "Hulk Hogan brand" is worth anything.....well we'll show him. We're going to make TNA the number one wrestling organization in the world. The talent here is incredible from the veterans like Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, Sting, Scott Steiner, Mick Foley and Team 3D to wrestling's now generation, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Beer Money and The X Division. A year from now Vince isn't going to know what hit him! Eric Bischoff: With that said I want to make everyone aware of a few things. First of all November will be our last month in this place. We have to spend money to make money. After November no more iMPACT Zone! We will be traveling and getting our faces out all over the country. Second beginning this week we are going on Spike TV LIVE! No more tape delay. It didn't work for WWF or WCW and it's not going to work for TNA. We need the element of surprise. *I love these changes they are making already. Hulk and Bischoff both seem humble and willing to help the young guys....I guess only time will tell. After the meeting we ate at Emeril's restaurant at City Walk and then took in Halloween Horror Nights at Universal...maybe we shouldn't leave here? IMPACT HERE WE COME!

JOSHG Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/JOSHG85/IMPACT.jpg On an all-new TNA iMPACT! IMPACT IS LIVE!!!!!! This week we will hear from Mick Foley, why did he rescue Abyss? Does he have it out for Dr. Stevie? Has he found respect for "The Monster" Plus in our Main Event, Daniels prepares for his shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Title at Turning Point by facing off against former World Champion, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner. One has to think that Bobby Lashley will be keeping his eyes on this match. Last week Chris Sabin went down with an injury at the hands of Brother Ray. Though it was an accident, Alex Shelley has promised retribution when he faces Ray this week! We understand that Jeremy Borash will have an update on the condition of AJ Styles. Who has been attacking him in recent weeks and will he be able to compete at Turning Point. Kurt Angle will be on hand at iMPACT and will personally update us on the status of his neck and rumors are swirling that Angle is not in good condition! The X Division Title will be on the line this week when champion The Amazing Red takes on Kiyoshi of World Elite. All this plus Beer Money, Homicide, TNA Global Champion Eric Young and Awesome Kong this Thursday on SPIKE TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristram Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Looks great, looking forward to your diary and Togg's continuation, it will be an interesting contrast. I was surprised that you opted for no Vince Russo though, as I would really like to be a fly on the wall when Hogan and Russo worked together knowing what they want through at Bash at the Beach. I do like the backstory, because it makes sense. Too often backstories like that are miracle calls out of the blue, but here your character had a good relationship with Bischoff. I also liked the fact you mentioned the Australian part if for the selfish reason that I will be seeing Hulk take on Flair down here in Sydney very soon ;-) Can't wait. Niiiice.

The Mystery Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Alright I'm looking forward to this one: Jay Lethal vs. Homicide Lethal was yesterday's main X-division guy, now its Homicide's turn. Awesome Kong vs. Hamada Is this even a question to ask? Desmond Wolfe vs. Shark Boy This guy is someone to look up to as a good main eventer. If he ain't feuding with Angle then I suppose he should be on a good smooth hard hitting run. X Division Title The Amazing Red © vs. Kiyoshi Beer Money Inc. vs. Eric Young and Sheik Abdul Bashir Beer Money has this one. Alex Shelley vs. Brother Ray If you are going with the same thing TNA is doing in reality then Shelly has this while Bubba gets screwed. Daniels vs. Scott Steiner Screw Steiner, Daniels should be on the main event!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my immediate future, at Turning Point I’m issuing an open challenge. I am “The DNA of TNA” and I can handle anyone in TNA so this goes out to everyone in the TNA locker room.

The answer is simple…RESPECT! *The crowd cheers in response to Foley* Mick Foley: You see one thing I gained for Abyss at Bound for Glory in The Monster’s Ball is respect. I threw everything I had at Abyss, including Dr. Stevie, yet he still found a way to beat me… “The Hardcore Legend”. That defeat has caused me to realize something…I am not the man I once was. Crowd: BOO! Mick Foley: I’m not…it’s the unfortunate truth. I may be “The Hardcore Legend”, but I am not “The King of Hardcore” that title belongs to Abyss! Abyss is “The King of Hardcore”. He’s competed with the likes of Team 3D, Spike, Rhino, Sabu, Jeff Hardy, Raven, and….me.

He walked around this place like he owned it and has for too long laid claim to a title that doesn’t belong to him. Kurt Angle says he’s “The Wrestling Machine”, Angle is nothing more than a wannabe who couldn’t even defeat an Iranian to win the gold medal in Atlanta. If you want to see a true athlete look no further than me, Wolfe, Desmond Wolfe. The past two weeks I have destroyed Kurt Angle and tonight what does TNA give me…a bloody shark! Shark Boy tonight you will see why Desmond Wolfe is the best athlete in wrestling when I destroy you!

Daniels: Scott is a great competitor and a legend in wrestling, however his time is ending and my time is just beginning to dawn. Jeremy Borash: Looking ahead, at Turning Point it’s going to be a rematch from Unbreakable 2005, you, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, but this time it’s for The TNA World Title. Daniels: In 2005, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles and I set the wrestling world on fire and brought tons of fans to a little promotion called TNA when we put on one of the best performances of all-time. Today not much has changed… *Joe walks in* Samoa Joe: But everything has changed. Jeremy Borash: Samoa Joe what are you doing here?!!?!? Samoa Joe: You see Daniels, you and AJ were best friends, but what have you gained from your friendship? You two were World Tag Team Champs and if you ask me you were the strong point of that team, but you were fired and AJ went on without so much as even trying to get you back in TNA. Daniels you were forgotten about. I tried to get you hired back, but it didn’t work out. You see AJ is TNA’s golden boy…we are simply nothing to them. The fans don’t care, TNA doesn’t care and AJ certainly doesn’t care. At Turning Point the deck will be stacked against us and the only way for us to win is to team up and take down AJ…put him out…and then it can be you and me one-on-one for the TNA World Heavyweight Title…think about it Daniels…think about it………. *Joe leaves and Daniels is left thinking to himself* Time: 3:00 Rating: B ------------------------------------------------------------ *Lauren is backstage with Team 3D* Lauren: Last week Chris Sabin was injured in a match that he had with you Team 3D, this week Brother Ray, you take on his partner, Alex Shelley. Brother Ray: It was an accident. I did not intentionally hurt Chris Sabin, but now his partner Alex Shelley wants to cry like a baby…Alex its professional wrestling. If Sabin doesn’t want to get hurt then maybe he should work as a waiter and not a professional wrestler. Alex its people like you that make me think that maybe Rhino has a point. Maybe you guys are punks who don’t deserve a shot…but maybe you’re just green and don’t understand that…WE’RE TEAM 3D!!! THE BEST TEAM IN THIS BUSINESS!!!

They covered a variety of topics those of interest are…* Mike Tenay: AJ as of late you’ve been attacked by a mystery assailant. Do you have any idea who could be out to get you? AJ Styles: Mike I’ve made a lot of enemies over the years. On top of that I am the most marked man in wrestling today. I am the TNA World Champion…I hold the most prestigious title in wrestling. Anyone and everyone wants a shot at me…who knows. Let me tell you this though Mike, when I find out who it is…they are going to regret the day they ever crossed AJ Styles. Mike Tenay: At Turning Point you will face-off against Samoa Joe and Daniels in a re-match from Unbreakable 2005, but this time it’s for your TNA World Title. AJ Styles: I have the utmost of respect for Samoa Joe and Daniels. The Unbreakable 3-Way was possibly the best match I have ever been a part of and I believe at Turning Point we will surpass our past matches. Mike Tenay: So who do you think will win?

At Turning Point you’ll see why she’s one of my freaks Bobby! I’m going to put you in The Recliner and make you scream just like I made your wife scream last night… *Steiner walks off in a hurry* Jeremy Borash: Well we have no idea how Scott Steiner feels about his match against Daniels, but if Bobby Lashley was watching he can’t be happy.
