Unresolved TNA Storyline: Why Hasn't Hulk Hogan Tried to Get His Robe Back?

Back on the November 1, 2012 edition of Impact Wrestling.... Matt Morgan appeared at the opening of Hulk Hogan's new beach shop and stole one of Hulk Hogan's one of a kind robes (A robe that Hogan fought Andre at Shea Stadium in).

In the time leading up to this incident and after, Hogan has appeared to be trying to use reverse psychology to motivate Matt Morgan into being the monster that Hogan knows he can be. What doesn't make sense about this story arc is... why hasn't Hogan tried to get his robe back? Even if he's trying to motivate Morgan wouldn't it make sense for Hogan to at least appear to WANT HIS PRICELESS ROBE BACK therefore motivating Morgan to keep it? Morgan steals Hogan's robe (a priceless piece of wrestling memorabilia) and Hogan never even makes mention of his robe again... despite the fact that Morgan continuously wears it to the ring. What's the point of Morgan stealing Hogan's robe if Hogan doesn't even appear to care about it? Think about it. Morgan stole Hogan's robe in order to get under Hogan's skin and to get revenge on Hogan for not noticing him, but Hogan doesn't appear to care about the robe so doesn't that make Morgan stealing it pointless? Doesn't it make Morgan's mission to get back at Hogan a failure?

I mean, if you're going to steal something from someone as an act of revenge you wouldn't break in and steal some Q-tips and bobby pins from their bathroom would you? NO. You'd take wedding rings and flat screens. Hogan ruined this story arc the moment he appeared he could care less about the robe. Instead of making it seem like Morgan took something priceless from Hogan... Hogan has made it seem as if Morgan merely took the last Hot Pocket from his fridge (You know... mad for a day and then forgotten). What's the motivation in stealing something that no one care about? Or was Matt Morgan just overcome with a moment of kleptomania? Could this be the beginning of Morgan's "Klepster" gimmick where he "hulks up" via theft?

Unresolved TNA Storyline: What Happened to Winter's Supernatural Relationship with Angelina Love?

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that TNA just dropped the whole Winter "Supernatural" gimmick with Angelina Love? When Winter debuted no one could see her except for Angelina Love. Angelina would only see her in mirrors. Winter also implied that she knew Angelina Love even though Angelina claimed to have no idea who Winter was. She was almost implying that Angelina and her were reincarnated lovers from a past life. She then began controlling Angelina with drinks she called Angelina's "medicine". Eventually, Angelina told Winter she didn't need the drinks anymore because she understood Winter. Fast forward to the present and now Winter and Angelina are normal. TNA dropped the "Supernatural" angle without explaining it. Were Winter and Angelina lovers from a past life? Were they lovers from years ago? Was Winter lying? Or, did Angelina lie when she said she didn't know who Winter was? Why did Winter start presumably drugging Angelina? How come originally no one could see Winter except Angelina?

It's frustrating because this was probably the most complex and compelling storyline in the history of women's wrestling, and the most interesting storyline on Impact Wrestling until they just dropped it with no explanation. I loved Angelina Love's "Early '90s Undertaker" rip off gimmick to go along with it all. It was a great storyline that just fizzled out with no explanation. I hope TNA rekindles this storyline and reveals more backstory on Winter and her relationship with Angelina.
