SEASON 3 PREMIERE: TNA Final Resolution, 20th December 2009

Send us a text It's time, brother! Much like the arrival of Hulk Hogan in TNA, the arrival of Season 3 is greatly hyped, we start talking about him before he's even appeared on TV, and things are better before he got there. Hopefully you're as excited as we were to witness the power of TWTWmania!
