The rumored 'big contract' would have long since expired I'm sure. She's kept her job because they like what she's doing and she's impressing them with her hard work and motivation. It's that simple, sometimes there isn't an ulterior motive.

It's that simple, sometimes there isn't an ulterior motive. Depends on how long the contract was for. The Rumored contract was signed in 2010. if she was on a five year deal they still have all of 2014 and 2015 left on it.

Aye that's true, it's just weird to me that they would lock her in for that long if she was doing nothing good for them. Either way I can't see them locking an unintelligent bimbo into a long term deal.

So, does she write in the Christy Camera Pan every show to get herself over?

It makes no sense, yet it makes sense. I'm not just gonna go with "lol she sux! Diva Sarch!" because there are better reasons why this makes zero sense. She started with the Diva Search contest in what, middle of '04? So in under a decade she had her WWE wrestling career, then went to TNA, then signed a huge contract when the people actually on air were getting pay cuts, tried ring announcing but got replaced, and is now on creative. Point blank, she has a contract that pays her a lot of money, they have to try to get something out of her, to recoup what they're paying her so this isn't a Lanny Poffo deal. Problem is, she has only ever worked in TNA and the "Ruthless Aggression" Era diva's division. If that's all she has to go by, unless she pulls a Steph and starts aping TV show plotlines, what can she offer? The Christy signed a huge contract renewal rumor seemed to have originated from the Honkytonk man's website at a time he was saying all kinds of things for attention so I'd take that with a whole heap of salt.

I am quite surprised. Didn't she think that her backside was hungry? Not the kind of person I'd allow to be on the creative team...She may even think that her butt is giving her ideas for storylines...

I don't really understand this to be honest. What history does she have that would warrant this?

I really hope you're joking with that statement, because what makes you think she has the IQ of a turnip other than the fact she's a woman? A tad sexist maybe. Or maybe you're racist against turnips. Perhaps they're nature's most intelligent soil grown vegetation. How dare you doubt them and besmirch their potential intellect. Please, turnips are the David Spades to nature's true intellectual saviors:

I don't really understand this to be honest. What history does she have that would warrant this? Christy Hemme has been working backstage for a good long while now and has considerably more experience in wrestling than most of the hires WWF/E have made in the past decade, more than most indy bookers, heck, at this point she's been actively involved in wrestling longer than Gabe Sapolsky had when he founded Ring of Honor. A lot of people who've gone on to be decent bookers haven't been guys you'd expect so who knows what she'll bring to the table... We won't know until she's been on the team a while.

Going back to my earlier post - do we know what Christy's role in the creative team will be? Because everyone seems to be jumping to the conclusion that "creative team" = "writing/booking" and nothing else besides.
Christy may be overseeing the design elements of the show, with no actual involvement in the storylines at all. Her current bit with Samuel Shaw may just be a perk of her promotion.

There's no inherent problem with giving Christy a spot on the Creative team, on paper- she's been in the business for a decade, she's done a number of things...and it's not like it'll hurt to give her a try.
Having said that, though, I'd be a little wary about it because...most of her actual storylines just weren't very good. The Shaw storyline right now is her current storyline, so it's easy to assume if she's on Creative, Christy's probably writing that storyline (which would be a black mark.) In addition- her previous angles in TNA- her best angle was her feud with Kong where she was improving, working hard, and seemed to be on tap to be the one to slay Kong before her neck injury (a good storyline, but "plucky babyface can't beat the monster heel, so they work hard, bust their ass to improve, and eventually become the one to beat the monster" is also a very simple storyline to do), and her "Christy vs. The NAO for women being jokes and degraded...oh, hey, and Christy's the heel. Come watch her be degraded and cheer!" load of crap from 2006 (which was terrible.
Just from those: Best case scenario, she can make some basic, old-fashioned wrestling storylines that take nothing off the table (and TNA NEEDS someone who can just sit and make some 'rasslin storylines without trying to reinvent the wheel), worst case..she's Russo-riffic. And with the Shaw storyline right now, I'd lean to assuming the latter.

For those in doubt - Christy Hemme has more time in North American mainstream wrestling than everyone in this thread combined, because we have all done exactly f*** all nothing in wrestling, so she's way more qualified than any of us to be in there, and as such I see no reason to doubt TNA's decision as it stands. You can be a horrible wrestler but great booker, and vice versa as Big Johnny and Ric Flair have proven respectively.

I don't know if any posted in this thread, but they are around. Not that I think Christy being on the team is good or bad at the moment... but still.

This is why I added 'North American mainstream' into my post, unless any of our guys are former TNA or WWE talents?

From watching Impact last night, Hemme has a better career as a phone sex operator than creative guru.

You can be a horrible wrestler but great booker, and vice versa as Big Johnny and Ric Flair have proven respectively. Vince Russo has been around for years in the wrestling business too. Doesn't mean he's any good, and I'm fairly certain pretty much anybody on this board could come up with better storylines then he has whether they've been in the business or not. By the same token Kip Frey, a guy who worked for Pizza Hut a former professor, was put in charge of WCW for awhile and actually did a pretty good job all things considered. And he, like Christy has absolutely no experience in the wrestling business whatsoever prior to that. Experience only means so much if you don't improve over time. And considering she's never had any experience as part of Creative and she's never been alluded to as someone with a sound mind for the wrestling business, it's hard to say how good or how bad she'll be. So I wouldn't say anything about her right now because it would really be pointless to speculate on that until more information about what she's been responsible for comes out. Supposedly she's more in creative for costume designs and such according to the Observer, which I imagine she has alot more experience with. Though it seems odd that would make her part of Creative if that's her only real role.
