Q: Can you go back and talk about why you brought in Hulk Hogan & Eric Bischoff?

 

Dixie says she grew the fans one at a time. She says she felt it was time for them to get some "rocket fuel". They needed exposure so what other person to get but Hulk Hogan. She said TNA was the number one search on ESPN today and #1 Trending Topic on Twitter.

 

Q: What can fans expect to contrast the product from WWE?
