TNA Wrestling founder Jeff Jarrett recently set down with the Miami Herald for an interview where he talks Hulk Hogan and the Monday Night War, here are a few highlights:

Jarrett’s thought’s on the switch to Monday night’s and the criticism surrounding the decision, “I can sit here and tell you that we have been doing everything on schedule perfectly. Hindsight is 20/20. We all went into the Monday night experiment with our eyes wide open, and we dove in head first. In reality, our viewers only missed two Thursdays. We were on replay every week. So the time-slot never really went away. We’ve listened to our fans. We’ve listened to our focus groups. We’ve listened to numbers, and we would never have gotten to where we are today had we not tried that experiment. The mistake would be not learning from that experiment. We are about to take another step and change on how the company does business. We don’t want to sit back and rest on our accomplishments. We are always trying and always pushing ourselves not just talent in the ring, but all facets of our business.”

Jarrett also talks about why bringing Hulk Hogan in is a good move in his eyes, “Hulk Hogan is far and away the most recognizable professional wrestler that has ever lived. He has surpassed Gorgeous George, and everyone knew that name. There have been some guys who have been main eventing for one year, two years, maybe three years., but Hulk Hogan has been a main event guy at the very top of every organization he worked for since 1981 or 1982, before the national expansion. So bringing him in, the dynamic has changed everything dramatically. I still welcome Hulk Hogan on board because the dynamic he brings. He is successful with wrestling outside the ring. His brand name with TNA has brought nothing but more awareness for the organization.”
