10 Biggest signings in TNA history

#2 Hulk Hogan

''TNA will be the number 1 company in the world''... Well not really, but nice attempt

Hulk Hogan almost debuted for TNA back in 2003. Jerry and Jeff Jarrett began making overtures to Hogan, culminating in Jeff Jarrett, co-founder of TNA and then NWA World Heavyweight Champion, launching an on-air attack on Hogan in Japan in October 2003. The attack was supposed to be a precursor to Hogan battling Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at TNA's first three-hour pay-per-view. However, due to recurring knee and hip problems, Hogan did not appear in TNA but would remain in on again/off again negotiations until November 2004.

One of the best well-kept secrets in TNA, it was announced that Hogan had signed a contract to join TNA on a full-time basis on October 27, 2009. The announcement brought much media attention to TNA, which included Hogan making several big talk show appearances. Hogan was hoping that his involvement with TNA and ideas for the company would bring their ratings up to WWE level and beyond, but they would never rise above 1.5 million viewers in the U.S.

Despite this, and the financial issues that followed, Hogan still brought so much to TNA.

Hogan left TNA in 2013.
