TNA News Hulk Hogan tells Time why he opted to sign with TNA rather than WWE, why wrestling has changed By Jason Powell Oct 30, 2009 - 09:23 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Hulk Hogan told Time.com that he chose TNA over WWE because he wants to help the young wrestlers. "When I woke up and realized I should be my own man and be responsible for being happy, I realized I still have a lot to contribute to the wrestling business," Hogan said. "And jumping into TNA and being a part of that company is huge. I have a chance to give back and help these young wrestlers who don't understand the business and the art form." Hogan was asked to explain why the current generation changed it. "The business moves so much faster now," he responded. "It used to be if Andre the Giant and I had a feud, it'd probably play out six or seven months later at a big event. Nowadays, if Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan have a feud at 9 o'clock, it's usually over by 9:30. It's a story-telling art form to create emotion and drama and I just think a lot of that is lost."
