Jeff Jarrett Talks Hulk Hogan Not Appearing For TNA After Shooting An Angle, Randy Savage The current Impact Wrestling is centered around younger stars that have been more-or-less grown from within, but the company had infamously relied on older stars for the better part of their time as TNA. Speaking with Inside the Ropes, TNA co-founder Jeff Jarrett detailed the early mentality of bringing in the stars of yester-year. “The first layer of the answer is get eyeballs on our product,” Jarrett said. “Hulk [Hogan] obviously, at this stage of his career, was post-nWo, which was his second major, major run. [Randy] Savage, same thing. It’s not like they were going to come in and work weekly for us anyway. Even Sting in the early signings was a, ‘Let’s get him on board, be a part of the product, a part of the sizzle reel, a part of the clip reel. Get eyes on it, then continue to build the core group of AJ Styles, of Bobby Roode, of Team Canada, of Eric Young, of Samoa Joe. All that.’”
