The long running fight between Hogan, Bischoff and Steiner is about to become more serious as the General Manager of Impact Wrestling, took to Twitter this morning to talk about getting his personal lawyers involved in the situation.
This feud has been going on for quite some time now and if you look back through each of the men’s Twitter accounts at a glance it would appear that they are all as bad as each other. We of course don’t know how deep the rivalry goes and can only see what each of them wants us to see.

The ‘go home’ show before we see Sacrifice on May 16th 2012 opened with a recap of Rob Van Dam and Bobby Roode picking each other’s opponents last week. We saw highlights from both of their matches including Roode hitting Hardy with his belt during the Hardy vs. RVD match.

The show opened with the story of Eric Bischoff and how he was defeated and therefore made to leave Impact Wrestling. We saw clips from his farewell party and his induction in to the ‘Shed of Shame.’ You can see more details of this here.
Ric Flair told us he feels that Hulk Hogan thinks that he is his pawn and has him under his thumb. He’s “Ric G O D Flair” so he doesn’t buy it. He’s smarter than Hogan thinks. In our world he says that he’s “just plain God”.

The show opened with the Open Fight Night (OFN) promo being played as the rules of the new monthly show were explained. See my explanation here if you are not familiar with the rules already.
Hulk Hogan spoke to some of the current champions backstage and welcomed them to OFN. With the exception of Magnus and Samoa Joe, who don’t seem too fussed, the champions don’t seem very pleased that they may have to fight tonight.

As the show opened we saw a recap of the General Manager (GM) fiasco involving Sting, Hulk Hogan and Dixie Carter. When the video package finished the camera cut to Sting and Dixie Carter who were stood in the ring with the majority of the TNA roster stood around them on the arena floor.
Mike Tenay had told us moments earlier that Hogan had called everybody to the ring for the meeting but when Dixie took to the mic she said that she had asked all of the wrestlers to join her to introduce Hulk Hogan, even though he doesn’t need an introduction, to everybody. As he made his way to the ring the Hulkster milked every last drop of the crowd reaction (as he always does). He was handed a mic by Dixie Carter and explained how good it felt to be the GM of Impact Wrestling; he went on to personally thank Sting for having his back and Dixie for giving him his second chance. Hogan, stated that there will be some new segments introduced to Impact and that a few things need to be taken care of starting with the business of Lockdown.

Jeremy Borash opened the show and as usual told us what is coming up during this episode. He was about to talk about the upcoming Lockdown event when the entrance music of Eric Bischoff filled the arena. Borash wasn’t very pleased to hear it, saying “Oh boy”.
Following on from the cliffhanger which Impact Wrestling left us on this week, I have been asking myself whether or not we will we see Hogan accept the job as General Manager. If so, will we see the REAL Hulk Hogan or the Heel nWo Hulk Hogan?
Sting seems to think that we will see the Real Hulk Hogan; but, although no longer seen on screen, Hogan has a very long standing friendship with Eric Bischoff, they are business partners after all. Can he be trusted?
So I turn this question to anyone who reads this: If Hogan accepts the position, which Hogan will take over Impact Wrestling as General Manager? Feel free to leave your comments below.
