I don't see how Jeff dating Karen was any business of Dixie. Kurt and Karen were divorced at the time and Double J shouldn't have to spend the rest of his life alone because his wife dying. Not his fault Kurt couldn't move on. Didn't Kurt demand that Jeff be removed from all positions of power in the company or else he threatened to leave TNA when Bubba The Obese Sponge reported that he and Karen were dating?

She is mad because she never drew a dime, whilst Jarrett did. Actually it was two nickels, but if you look just at the value of those coins you'll see where the animosity lies.

Believe so, but in that situation, the appropriate thing to do is go, "Kay, see ya, Kurt."

I don't think it's really hate. It's a mixture of Karen-gate, the two having big enough egos and different approaches to the business. Pretty much this. I think to some extent Jarrett still regarded the company as HIS baby, since he was the founder, but once Panda Energy took over Dixie regarded it as HER's to do with as she saw fit. Clash of ego's was inevitable.

They actually always had their moments of friendship and bonding over never earning a dime. Dixie was actually just jealous of having not broken 6000 guitars.

Dixie was in love with him, but he married Karen

Believe so, but in that situation, the appropriate thing to do is go, "Kay, see ya, Kurt." Actually, the truly appropriate response to that threat was to ask Kurt to explain it all to her family's high powered lawyers and see what they had to say about it all.

Wasn't Jarrett not completely honest about dating Karen at first anyway? Like didn't most find out from someone other than Jeff or Karen?

Hit the like button at first buy why the heck should they have to tell them their dating? It's their own private and personal lives they have and nobody has a right to pry into it. If Kurt couldn't move on that's his fault.

If Kurt couldn't move on that's his fault. I can see it both ways. Wrestling isn't a normal business so the "no dating your co-workers" isn't a valid excuse. Now dating a co-worker's ex he recently divorced and keeping it on the down low? That could cause some issues.

I think Jeff confused Dixie, on one hand he had been in the WWF & was a former WCW World Champ, so she loved that.
The problem starts when she realized Jeff was also a TNA original and didn't want to touch those with a ten foot pole

I sort of feel like she used this as an excuse to oust him in the first place. Even if she had the most power via Panda, it's still running things by associations and some of these things are about politics and power plays. I think she was waiting for the right time to do this. I wonder if this had not happened if Hogan and EB would have come.

Kurt signing was a huge deal at the time. I'm sure it was at least a headache to have another top guy running around w/his ex-wife. To Jeff & Karen's credit, they have stayed together all this time. Back then, it couldn't have been comfortable for your new main event star.
I'm positive Hogan probably buried him to Dixie all the time. The infamous WCW incident w/Russo. His reputation for holding Vince up over the IC belt. Also remember the promo when Hogan & Bischoff first went on TV, where Jarrett was supposed to come out & cut a heel promo & he ended up going teary eyed as he got a huge pop. Then, Hogan was made to look like the heel in a backstage promo. Jeff is enough of a pro to take the pop & go heel on the fans, but didn't. Screwing w/Hogan won't get you beat up, but he had Dixie's ear & I'm sure took full advantage.

That she's a genius, she's far more capable than McMahon, that she should take control from guys who have been there for years and have steered the ship. And she actually believed what they told her and believes herself to be a genius and won't listen to anyone who dares to tell her otherwise.

Reading all of this, I can't help but note some irony in TNA's timeline: the early years of TNA were pretty awful-mainly because they were largely just a regional promotion that got itself a PPV deal and Jeff Jarrett acted as the Triple H of the the time. And, not to sound like a dick, but the period where Jarrett was away after the loss of his wife and also when he stepped off screen for a while due to the situation with Karen and Kurt-those where the periods where TNA's programming got so much better, thanks in no small part to Panda's money making it possible for them to sign top indy stars like Joe and a big name like Kurt. And those were also times when Vince Russo still had big say into the company. Considering all this, TNA is like the freaking Twilight Zone with all these different alternate dimensions.

Dixie was obsessed with spelling bees as a child but second place was the highest she could ever attain. Jeff Jarrett would always greet her by spelling out his name, as he is wont to do, and Dixie felt that he was mocking her.

Dixie also maintained that the spelling of Jeff Jarrett does not contain any random laughter

The part about Dixie being able to spell.
