If Hulk Hogan will be fit enough for one more match in a couple of months:

“Absolutely. See you guys don’t see what I see and you don’t know what I know. Listen, like I say I’m always honest. At the end of the day, if you don’t think Hulk Hogan has at least one match left in him, you’re fooling yourselves. Hulk Hogan is a very tough man. He’s been around this industry for a long time. He’s gonna save it all up for one more match. Who knows? That one more match may be against me, it might not. I don’t know. But he’s got one more in him. And I don’t care what anybody says whether it’s the extremely smart fans or the novice fans. In some way, shape or form, everybody wants to see Hulk Hogan one last time. Even if it’s the morbid curiosity of will he take a step in the ring and his knees will blow out? You wanna see it one more time. Maybe you don’t want to see it against me and that’s fine. But you’re gonna wanna see it one more time. What is he supposed to do? What is Hulk Hogan supposed to do? Just ride off into the sunset and not have one last moment in the middle of a ring? He deserves it . And the fans should be more appreciative of the fact that he wants to have one more match. Do you think that Sting was actually gonna step in there with me, not ready to go? And did you not think that I was gonna bring it to Sting so hard that he would be forced to up his game? That’s the thing. Once that bell rings and you’re standing across from me, you might have that moment where you go ‘oh s–t.’ No matter what, he’s going to bring it to me and I better up my game. I better become the Sting of old. I better become the Hulk Hogan of old. Otherwise this guy is gonna eat my guts. And that’s what I’m gonna do.”

In this Wrestle Talk TV Extra TNA President Dixie Carter discusses why TNA British Bootcamp Winner Spud is not in TNA despite winning a contract on the show. WTTV is a show made by wrestling fans for wrestling fans and can be seen on the Challenge Late Zone in the United Kingdom following Impact Wrestiling.

With so many choices from this week’s IMPACT, I decided to go with one that many might not have thought, but was totally deserving. Magnus is now on top of the BFG Series leaderboard, and his clean 1-2-3 pin on Bobby Roode is my choice for Segment of the Week.
