TNA is looking to go live on Monday nights with Hogan on their roster. Should still be hard to compete, but we might see the best possible action from both sides for a while.
From Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer site:
TNA announced last night on the UFC show that Hulk Hogan's debut would be on a three-hour live Impact special from Orlando airing on a Monday night, 1/4. That show will also be replayed on Thursday night from 8-11 p.m. that week. The original idea was a two hour special from 8-10 p.m., figuring they'd get the first hour jump on Raw. However, they figured WWE would counter by going to USA and asking for a third hour that night, so they may as well go all three. We'll see if WWE responds. It's right now a onetime experiment but if the ratings are significantly up from normal, it would likely lead to going live Mondays every week.
