    Really wish TNA were still the joke they were 10 years ago, so I could say some sarcastic joke like “Dixie Carters World Championship reign was more important and more relevant than Roman Reigns was!”

    I don’t even know if she ever was world champion. I just know she was an on screen tv character of authority at the same time Russo was writing.

    So I ASSUME it happened, and I also assume she somehow gifted it to Hogan.

    GeekFTW: “MORE RELEVANT THAN ROMAN REIGNS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN??? MORE IMPACTFUL TO PRO WRESTLING??? OH THIS GUY IS SOOOOOOOO BANNED!!!”

      Amazingly, neither held the top title in TNA/iMPACT at any point, even via shenanigans. That being said TNA is actively striving to be the joke they were 10 years ago so…fingers crossed! lmao

        God damn. Thats just a whole NEW level of pathetic, when even Hulk Hogan doesn’t want your world title. I assume he had creative control, and even he was like “Nah. I don’t need to be assosiated with this belt…”

          I may be misremembering so someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I recall Bischoff saying (as far as he can be trusted as a reliable narrator) that Hogan didn’t wanna actually wrestle when he was with TNA as his body was already getting bad by that point with his knees/hips/back.

          Checking CM, looks like Hogan only ever worked 5 matches total during the years he worked there. 4 tag matches, and 1 singles against Sting.
