While I agree with your logic I'm going to say two things on this matter.

1) It was more so the nWo idea and not so much HOGAN but yes, his popularity as well as Savage, Hall and Nash brought recognition to the company.

2) TNA has absolutely nothing right now or even a few years ago REMOTELY CLOSE to the likes of mid 90's talent like Rey, Ultimo, Psicosis, Eddie, Malenko, Benoit, that's not even counting the dozens of main eventers so while I agree with your TNA idea and how they need an Austin or Rock, they still aren't putting on near what WCW was then.
