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.
Yes the nWo angle is what put WCW on the map. But in hind sight if Hogan would of rejected the idea of being the 3rd member and they went with their backup plan of it being Randy Savage do you think it would of went down the same way? I don't think so at all because 2 reasons.

1. Savage is big in the wrestling world but he is no where near Hogan. Never has been, never will be.
2. If Hogan was going up against the nWo they would have NEVER got the push they got. Can you see Hogan jobbing to Hall or Nash or Savage on a regular basis?
