Thanks to prowrestling.net for this heads up:

Hulk Hogan sounded off on writers in pro wrestling during an interview with SportFM in Perth, Australia. "In TNA, I'm going to listen to those fans and give them what they want," Hogan said. "I'm not going to keep shoving a bunch of terrible, horrible, stale programming down their throats. (In TNA), I'm going to take the writers and tell them, 'Go get another job. Sit in the back. If I need you to write a jingle for a commercial, maybe we'll use you for that.'" To listen to the full interview, visit the SportFM website.
