Is Dixie Carter Insane?

On the November 5, 2009 edition of TNA Impact, TNA owner and bigshot Dixie Carter decided to open the show with a video of a speech she gave in front of much of the TNA roster of wrestlers.  It was a strange presentation, as the clearly nervous Carter basically ordered them all to support her 100% and not dare question her leadership (even though her track record as head of TNA invites questioning).

Well that was weird.  Who wants everybody in TV Land to see your boss threatening to fire you unless you fall in line behind her questionable business moves, like signing TNA into some kind of ‘partnership’ with Hulk Hogan?

So I had some thoughts about this strange segment and emailed them to Bryan Alvarez, host of Wrestling Observer Radio, and he decided to read my email on the air and address my comments.  I’m glad to report that we are overwhelmingly on the same page.  Enjoy this brief segment from his show.

Subject: Dixie Carter to TNA Roster:  Demands 100% Loyalty
Date: November 8, 2009, 3:18 PM PST

Bryan,

Well, at least most of the roster. I didn’t see Nash, Steiner, Sting, Foley, Angle, Tenay or Taz.

Did you guys get a weird vibe from that segment where she demands unwavering and unquestioning loyalty from the TNA wrestlers?

I laughed when she said if you are not prepared to give 100%, then you will be working somewhere else. I had heard that some wrestlers on her roster specifically WANT to leave TNA but can’t get releases from their contracts.

I’m thinking Dixie enjoys being on tv, which isn’t good. I also figure this is laying the groundwork for Dixie to play the heel owner/authority figure to confound Hulk Hogan when he finally shows up on tv more regularly. Unless it was real, in which case it just didn’t belong on tv.

In any event, it made TNA seem small time to me.

With an assist from Dr Seuss

The excellent Daniel Hannan speaks about the 2009 EU Election Results.  Anyone who can work in a Terminator reference with an extended Dr Seuss reference is AOK by me!

I don’t know if Revoltin’ Joe Biden can’t count or can’t spell…

It doesn’t really matter, really.  He looks like a buffoon no matter what he says or does!

Anyone can make a flub, but Biden does make flubbing up a habit!  And gee, do you think of Sarah Palin made the same gaffe, the media would just overlook it, or would it become late-night tv fodder for a week?

This young lady is a natural!

I’m sold

Popps McCain made a great choice with his choice for a running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. She was particularly impressive when speaking and she has genuine star power, no doubt about it.

Pay attention to the music – when Governor Palin comes out she gets some great super hero theme music, and at the conclusion of the event they seem to run music more fitting for the next Halloween film! Weird!

Great debut. She must have given Hilly fits this morning!
