WWEs Reaction to Dixie's Speech

Back to home
Many within WWE have caught Dixie Carter's speech from iMPACT! last week.Many responded apparently with laughter. One person made the following speech to the well respected Figure Four Newsletter:

"After investing the previous two hours of Impact on hyping how Hulk Hogan and TNA are ushering in this new era of euphoria with this huge game changer move and perhaps making their fan base feel like this is finally the place to be right here and right now, they kick off this week's show with THAT video. A video that comes across totally out of context even if it's not a 'shoot, brutha', where a sea of sleepy, droopy-faced and indifferent talent sit in bleachers and are lectured to by a woman that has about 2% conviction in the speech she's giving.

For the talent
" ... "it's my way or the highway'. For the viewer it comes across as 'Hey, you know that whole big Hulk Hogan hype we sold you on last week? Yeah, buyer beware - it's not as cool or as euphorically kick ass as we kind of suggested it was last week.' I don't think it served any purpose other than to further amp up Dixie's ego. It was like a bad public speaking class."

It remains to be seen if the source's name comes out.

I agree, the speech was a really bad idea on TNAs part.

poor poor TNA. Ashame, without TNA, their will not be an alternative to the crap that is WWE. This is a tragedy for professional wrestling as a whole.

Could ROH compete with WWE in a ratings war if TNA dies? I mean c'mon, ROH gets less views than TNA.

Do I want to live without wrestling or watch WWE? Oh wait... I repeated myself in that question didn't I?

Well, I prefer TNA over WWE any day and have done for a long time but whether people agree or disagree with me is neither here nor there since this topic is supposed to be about Dixie's speech. I think it was a mistake to air it. It makes it seem as though there is discention in the ranks, like a lot of the talent is unhappy with this development. Not that I can blame them, Hogan is an arrogant, self obsessed bully and I hope he stays in a behind the scenes capacity as I have no interest in seeing him droning on and on week after week but it's not a good idea to let the fans know there could be unrest backstage. And for the record, I respected Dixie much more when she stayed out of the limelight. I'd hate to see her keep pushing herself forward every week and stealing airtime from the actual wresters (like a certain Mr McMahon) who, let's be honest, are the reason wrestling fans watch wrestling, regardless of their prefered fed.
