The pizza thing is easy, TNA probably had a sponsorship deal in place with the other resturaunt. The 6k to promote... That's iffy. If she was asked to, then that's crappy. If she wasn't asked to, then she shouldn't expect to be reimbursed. I can go buy a $3000 computer system for work, but if it wasn't cleared by management beforehand, I guarentee they wouldn't reimburse me. Unless it was a major deal, why would you promote a business competing with one of your own people? If it was Pizza Hut, sure, but if it's another local one, you're just causing headaches for yourself. WWE didn't tell the wrestlers to promote any other BBQ sauce when JR started his. And as for the promotion, well, considering she was literally getting more people in the door and making them money, I think she has a right to feel entitled to something, especially if she was promised so after the fact. Dixie said she'd give her money, and didn't, it wasn't cleared by management before no, but management knew and said they would compensate her then went back on their word. It's the buildup of all these unprofessional moments that make people get angry about it.

I've always had a soft spot for ol' Victoria/Tara/Helmet Lady.
And while I think this may go too far for some with Tara wanting to punch Dixie Carter, I look at it like this; when you devote $6,000 of your own money to help a company out by giving them good publicity, which can help in ticket sales and merchandise buys, and not only do they not say "thanks", but go around and praise somebody that probably spent $0 on them (plus don't even give you any money back later for this)... you have every right to be pissed off about the matter.

Victoria is probably better off not having her restaurant associated with anything related to Dixie Carter.

I do love watching how much some people get riled over the word c***. In America, it's pretty much considered one of the worst things you can call a woman and one of those words you generally don't say. I know it's a different story in England

I have heard people say very nice things about Tara. She seems like a genuine good person. Tara's comments make Dixie look really bad.

I know it's a different story in England A lot of people in England consider it the worst word ever, too. I consider racial and sexual slurs much more offensive, though, as a bloke can also be a c***, whereas a discriminatory slur is aimed solely at one group of people. I never use the word for its anatomical definition, though, or the word twat.

I have VERY thick skin but it's one word I just don't like, being in a derogatory context or sexual. When girls use it in porn it just doesn't sound nice at all.

I never use the word for its anatomical definition, though, or the word twat. Well thats a key difference between American use and British use then, because in America it pretty much is THE slur against women. Its only ever used for women and casually calling a dude a "c word" is pretty much unheard of. So in the States it IS actually a sexual slur. I remember when I was in the 8th grade I first learned the word and went home and told my mom about it (without saying it) cause I didnt know what it meant for sure. She gave me this huge lecture about why you should never use it and how nasty it is. Later did the same thing with my dad and got the same lecture. Both lecture's were specifically how about you should never use it to describe a woman and how its misogynistic. Its interesting that thats really only true in the states. It can also be used anatomically but even then its considered vile and crude. Maybe something you might say in especially nasty dirty talk, but even then it has kind of a degrading connotation to it.

C-Word is incredibly common here in Australia. Calling your mate a "dopey C" is commonplace. I'm not fond of the word either but I'm not overly offended if someone decides to use it.

Well luckily, on Game of Thrones Episode 2 of Season 4, a cure for being one was developed.

I loved Lisa and the Squared Circle before this, this just cements that I'm going to the Squared Circle and giving them some business one of these days... When I met her when she was with TNA I told her that she was my favorite women's wrestler ever since I've been a fan of her's since her first match on RAW. I do plan on going one of these days to The Squared Circle.

PWInsider dug up dirt to see how accurate those comments were. It also includes some bad news if you wanted to see her in Chicago:

Dammit Lisa, Dixie deserves to be knocked on her ass for so much, you don't have to lie about it and make her the wronged in a situation..
