Hogan welcomes us to the brand new Impact Zone. The crowd boo’s, lol. “We want six-sides!” chant from the crowd completely silences Hogan. That was hilarious. Hogan says they had six-sides before and it only took them so far. Hogan says no more six-sides, no more eight sides, this is where professional wrestling was made to be done. Crowd is still boo’ing badly at this. Wow this is turning into a train wreck. Hogan mentions his “competitor” and how he only refers to it as sports entertainment. He’s pulling out the big guns to stay babyface now. He does some cheap pop stuff and quickly has Bischoff take over. Bischoff talks about how the new ring symbolizes change and tells us to get used to change – because there’s a lot more coming our way. Hogan closes with “whatcha gonna do — VINCE MCMAHON – now that TNA is coming at you, brother….or sister!” Music hits and out go Hogan and Bischoff.
