2010 Pro Wrestling Year in Review
2010 was a year of upheaval in the wrestling business. WWE saw several top stars retire and filled the void they left with a bunch of rookies from their latest program, WWE NXT. TNA began the year with the returns of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff to the wrestling business. Unlike the rookie route the WWE took, Bischoff and Hogan tried to recreate the Monday Night War and brought back updated versions of both the nWo and ECW.
