Hulk Hogan was on today's episode of "The View" on ABC to talk about his personal life and briefly discuss TNA Wrestling. The unintentional highlight was co-host Joy Behar unwittingly questioning the "TNA" name, with Hogan having to explain it's "T-N-A" and not "T&A."

The theme of Hogan's appearance was positive change, which prompted the usual lines from Hogan about "breathing clean air" when he divorced Linda Bollea and becoming "sick and tired of being sick and tired" when he snapped out of his personal funk.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg segued into talking about Hogan's "break up" from WWE. Hogan kidded that he traded in Vince McMahon for Dixie Carter and complemented Carter on being the nicest person he's worked with in wrestling.

The producers cued up TNA clips of Hogan in the ring during the Hogan & Abyss vs. Ric Flair & A.J. Styles match from the March 8 Impact officially moving to Monday nights.

Hogan plugged that he's working for TNA now instead of WWE, which prompted Joy Behar to suddenly ask, "TNA?." Hogan chuckled and explained the actual acronym while the crowd laughed.

The final part of the interview was Hogan plugging a new DVD movie coming out called "Little Hercules in 3D." Hogan said on Howard Stern earlier today they filmed the movie four or five years ago and it's just now coming out.

They rolled footage of Hogan and Big Show in the movie, which looks like the cheesiest thing ever produced. The clip showed Hogan, who plays Zeus, pretending to throw a lightning bolt at Show while they're standing in front of an obvious green screen.

Also on the show, the panelists pointed out that Hogan has a "type" of woman in his life, as evidenced by his ex-wife, daughter, and fiancee having the same blonde hair look. Howard Stern also pointed this out. Apparently this was a talking point from Hogan's p.r. people.

The interview wrapped with Sherri Shepherd, who had the WWE program with MVP last year, talking up Hogan living right and sending out positive vibes after going through the divorce with Linda.
