Hogan was on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show this morning
for over an hour, with about 15-20 minutes of TNA and pro
wrestling-related talk. The rest of the time was spent talking about his
personal life and his sex life with his fiancee, Jennifer McDaniel.
Some
of the highlights from Hogan's wrestling talk included Hogan saying
he's no longer working in an office setting for TNA. He said he couldn't
handle it, so he's not part of the initial creative effort. Hogan said
he receives TV scripts and approves or re-writes aspects of the show.
Hogan
said he's not directly handling talent deals, but he'll receive a call
here and there about talent looking to join TNA. Hogan specifically
named Torrie Wilson as a potential Knockout to join the company.
Hogan
was asked about Steve Austin knocking him on Twitter for being a
"channel-changer" on Impact. Hogan said he hadn't heard about it, but
wants to get Austin to TNA. He said he would get back in the ring to
face Austin or if there was another big money match.
The
Knockouts came up again at the end of the interview. Hogan he talked
them up for drawing TV ratings and said TNA is looking to expand the
Knockouts roster.
"TNA Knockout girls on a consistent basis have
the highest numbers even on the cross-over segments and the top of the
hour, so it's a good decision to add more women," Hogan said. "It
depends on where we're at budget-wise. We're pushing hard now and want
to add more girls."
Howard Stern brought up Kanyon following his
suicide last month. Hogan said he talked to him about six months before
he committed suicide because Kanyon wanted to be part of the Australian
Tour in November. "He sounded really depressed over the phone," Hogan
said.
