According to PWTorch.com it is now confirmed that Jeff Hardy has signed a deal to work a regular TNA schedule. Hardy told TNA co-workers that the organization's schedule fits his lifestyle better than WWE's grueling full-time schedule.
Also, following last night's Impact, Homicide said on the "Right After Wrestling" radio program he expects to feud with Hardy, saying:
"Anything could change and I could do something else or Jeff could do something else at the TV tapings on Tuesday, and I think it would be a great match-up of Jeff Hardy vs. Homicide. I'm really hoping it will happen."

Hardy must really be a fan of TNA's "Wellness Policy"......(take note of the italics & quotation marks).

It's a good move for TNA. There are plenty of Hardy lemmings that will go to TNA to see him.

Well with all the stuff and press that's happening around and to TNA as of late, this will be good. Say what you will about Hogan and Bischoff but they did beat WWF back in the day and even if history repeats itself, we'll have at least 10 good years of wrestling  |

True. Also, Raw drew around a 3.7 and TNA did a 1.5. Not bad for competing with the Fiesta Bowl as well.

Didn't watch all of TNA, turned after RAW came on, BUT... along with Hogan, you have Nash there and 2 other old nWo members in Hall and Waltman who showed up. COuld there be an nWo reunion in the future?
It was good to see Hardy again though....even if he did cut his hair.

Still, 1.5 ain't much of an improvement...so I read it as nothing improved or gained.

considering that TNA isn't nearly the size of WWE, as well as lacking the back that WCW used to have, i'd say any improvement is good. TNA's best ratings, from what i remember hearing, came in the first hour, when they didn't have WWE competing with them.
if the Fiesta Bowl was playing, then TNA did amazingly well for themselves.

Well TNA scoring a 1.5 was their highest ever, and Hogan debuting scored a 1.69 which is damn good for TNA. In the scheme of things, was it great? No, but it's a start. Let's hope they don't fuck it up.

that's pretty much my logic, Shaggy. the ratings that TNA got was great, by company standards. in the big picture, they weren't as good as they wanted (Hogan was claiming ratings in the 3's).
still, this is a start in the right direction. wether or not TNA can keep it up is yet to be seen.

I'm convinced if CZW can still be considered the 2nd biggest indy company in North America, then TNA can do this.

what'll make or break TNA, in coming weeks, is wether or not storylines can improve. if storylines can gradually improve, then they truly have a chance.
also, we have to minimize the TV time for the codgers. nobody needs to see boas on an old-timer, week after week.
