Well, she's not the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. She'll be working right underneath Johnny Ace and Trips in the Talent Relations Department. There would be a nice joke in there if it wasn't for her sexual orientation.

Question: Why can't they hire someone from within the wrestling industry?
Answer: They did. Johnny Ace. And how many people think that was a great decision?

Maybe she'll rubber stamp Ace's desire to have models as Divas. I'm going to take that as a joke... and not a reinforcement of a stereotype. If a man likes to bring in models, that's fine to say. If someone says a lesbian might bring in models, that's offensive and a stereotype. Ridiculous.

Even funnier when you consider almost everyone involved in TNA's day-to-day has a background in wrestling; Jeff Jarrett, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Bruce Pritchard, and Terry Taylor before he got sacked. Would you rather any of them? I'm not saying it's for the better that they didn't get someone involved in wrestling (in fact, I'd rather if they did), but having a background in wrestling should never be the only prerequisite.

Even funnier when you consider almost everyone involved in TNA's day-to-day has a background in wrestling; Jeff Jarrett, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Bruce Pritchard, and Terry Taylor and Dutch Mantel before they got sacked. Would you rather any of them? I'm not saying it's for the better that they didn't get someone involved in wrestling (in fact, I'd rather if they did), but having a background in wrestling should never be the only prerequisite. "After departing the WWF, Mantel later joined the Puerto Rican International Wrestling Association as a creative consultant, which included writing/producing and booking four hours of original TV programming per week. Mantel remained there until September 22, 2003. Mantel set a record while in Puerto Rico, in the number of hours that a single writer produced a TV wrestling show as he was responsible for four hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for a total of 208 hours a year for five years straight. His ratings also set records as his shows regularly ranged in the 12 to 15 range, with his highest being an 18.1, with a 55 share of the TV viewing audience while working for WWC in 2000. Mantel was awarded the 2002 Wrestling Observer Newsletter award of Booker of the Year for his dual achievements of drawing huge crowds to IWA big stadium shows (12 to 15 thousand fans) and for his ratings successes on Puerto Rican TV, which equaled prime time numbers, even though the show aired on weekend afternoons. In 2003, Mantel began work behind the scenes as a writer/producer/agent for TNA Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, most recently as a full time member of the booking team, which includes Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett. Mantel was instrumental in many successful creations for the company, most notably the TNA Knockouts division that helped to reinvigorate interest in women's wrestling in the United States. Mantel is given credit for bringing Awesome Kong to TNA at Bound for Glory 2007." Seriously don't knock dutch. The dude's one of the better minds in pro wrestling today.

Okay, I'll agree on Dutch. Personally, I would much rather him as head of the WWE Divas then whoever they have now. But it just goes to show my point: I listed at least six people, who each have more than ten years in the business, and only one of them is actually of any use. Now imagine the company you're running has networks and shareholders and sponsors to appease to.
