Hogan’s History with TNA
Hogan joined TNA Wrestling in 2009, playing a pivotal on-screen and backstage role during a critical time in the promotion’s development. His run helped bring mainstream attention to the brand and featured interactions with top TNA talent such as Sting, AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, and Bobby Roode.
Though his tenure with TNA was polarizing at times, there’s no denying that Hogan’s presence expanded the company’s visibility during a crucial era.
As tributes continue to pour in from every corner of the wrestling world, TNA’s heartfelt message serves as a reminder of Hogan’s far-reaching legacy—one that touched not only WWE, but also the stars and fans of IMPACT Wrestling.
