WWE legend Hulk Hogan began his wrestling career back in 1977. During Hulk Hogan’s professional wrestling career, he was involved with many wrestling promotions. Hulk Hogan has jumped ship to all major wrestling promotions, including AWA, NJPW, WWF, WCW, and TNA.

Since Hulk Hogan has been involved with these wrestling promotions in a back-and-forth motion, the company owners did not consider Hulk Hogan, a loyal employee of their company. One such wrestling promoter and a rival of WWE is Jeff Jarrett.

Even though Jeff Jarrett is a WWE Hall of Famer, there was a time when Jeff Jarrett was standing opposite of the WWE. In 2002, Jeff Jarrett and his father founded NWA Total Nonstop Action (now Impact Wrestling).

Why did Hulk Hogan leave Jeff Jarrett’s TNA?

The six-time World Champion Hulk Hogan left the WWE in 2003 to join Jeff Jarrett’s TNA. However, Jeff Jarrett claimed that he does not regret signing Hulk Hogan to his company. The co-founder of TNA did not care about Hulk Hogan being a big shot in the wrestling industry.

The WWE Hall of Famer, on the latest episode of ‘My World With Jeff Jarrett’ podcast, revealed that he left all the cards for Hulk Hogan to play.

“From the beginning, Jimmy [Hart] called us and started the courtship, if you will. And we got going down that road to see where it takes us, and then he [Hulk Hogan] had knee surgery,” Jarrett mentioned.

Jeff added, “We left it [to him]. Hulk, when you’re ready to do business, let us know. We are not going to chase you. You come back and tell us, and he never called us back.”

The Hulkster wanted to do a few matches against the former TNA co-founder, but he had knee surgery. However, Jeff Jarrett gave The Hulkster a choice to return whenever he wished, but Hogan disappeared out of thin air.

Did the former co-founder of TNA play an ultimate card on The Hulkster?

According to Jeff Jarrett, the six-time World Champion bailed on the TNA wrestling promotion. The former co-founder of the TNA imagines this because The Hulkster never mentioned a reason for his departure.

However, when Hogan departed from TNA wrestling, he left many stones unturned. As a result, Jeff Jarrett and the company spent much on Hulk Hogan’s appearance during that time.

The co-founder of TNA added, “At the end of the day, Jeff Jarrett, the face of the brand, went over and kicked Hulk Hogan’s a**.”

Jarrett also stated that a few wrestling pay-per-views were also sold based on The Hulkster’s manifestation. But Hogan did not show up on TNA television and left the company with no notice. However, for Jeff Jarrett, Hogan’s presence in his company was not a significant deal for him. It’s just that, given The Hulkster’s status then and now, Jarrett did not bother to plead in front of him.

Even though Vince McMahon has buried the hatchet with Hulk Hogan, it doesn’t seem that Jeff Jarrett has done the same, given his strong choice of words.
