-Eric Bischoff was not at tonight's TNA Impact taping. When the Hulk Hogan deal was signed last week, Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment were announced as coming on board with the company to help develop programming.

Bischoff and Hogan have already shown a lack of commitment to TNA. I think this is a sign that this deal was not in TNA's best intrest and Hogan/Bischoff did this only to promote themesleves.

BHE are supposed to help developing programming but I assume that doesn't mean they'll directly work on Impact so maybe they felt their presence was unnecessary. Still, I agree that this doesn't start well.

I understand Raven's presence on the show but Jim Neidhart's seems so random.
