Dixie Carter

So it has to be the same 1.5 million people is really stupid.

um dixie carter wanted to change the name of the special from this is tna to this is tna wrestling because they were like what if people don't know what's wrestling

also to be honest fair like i would disagree if it was like wcw you know what i mean but like it's not exactly it's not exactly an anagram

uh yeah that screams pro wrestling but i'll also be like the average wrestling fan in 2007 knew what tna was you know

One of these seems more likely.

So they pulled rank and got him yanked off of Ring of Honor events after a certain date.

Dixie Carter was upset with Joe for saying on a recent interview promoting his final ROH dates that he was upset over being forced to leave a wrestling promotion he loves.

Joe explained to Dixie that he was doing a wrestling promo to sell tickets for his farewell tour, not trying to badmouth TNA, and Dixie accepted that explanation.

I'm very grateful for them.

I'm grateful for Dixie Carter.

I'm grateful for Jeff Jarrett.

I'm grateful for Tommy Dreamer.

Russo just absolutely fast-tracked it to Kingdom Come.

And he almost killed TNA2 with help from Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan trying to make the whole production center around him and his immortal faction.

Hogan pretty much tried to make himself top cheese in the company and almost ended up killing it as a result.

And his rivalry behind the scenes with Vince Russo also probably contributed to that company's demise the way that it had with WCW as well.

... answered to Vince McMahon.

I answered to Bill Bush, believe it or not, Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter.

I answered to Violent J today.

These, these aren't my shows.

Uh, uh, whether they're twisted or not, there's some semblance of truth, whatever the semblance of truth is in, in the, the nugget of, in the grain of truth at the center.

Uh, you know, for anybody 60 years old to be acting like that is, uh, as a representative of a company, the only question I have is to, you know, to Dixie Carter and, and anybody else in a position of authority at TNA is why would they allow it to go on, and why would they not leave him there and, and fire him, not leave him there and then bring him back a couple days later, and then he's back on TV, you know?

Y- has he finally, like, I mean, has he come unglued completely? Has he unraveled?

I, I, the stories that I'm hearing from different people, I've not seen it because I've not been around, you know? Uh, you know, I, I work, you know, my own schedule and, and, and want it that way.
