Dixie expected to be on-screen character

[CrazySting]

The belief is that Dixie Carter is going to become a television character as the owner on 1/4, when Hogan is presumably debuting. Whether she’ll work with Hulk Hogan or feud with him, and where Mick Foley fits in as executive shareholder, and whether Eric Bischoff becomes a television character will all likely be apparent in a few weeks.

Is this expected as "There is some plans from booking to make her into a character" , or expected as "I expect Velvet Sky and Taylor Wilde to have a cat fight in my bed while I film it"?

So much for not getting involved in her own product. Funny what a dash of Hulkster can do to ya.

I knew it. Russo loves authority figures, especially real life ones.

[Kevin Hamilton]

Ugh. She's cute, but I def. don't need to see her in any sorta permanent on-screen role.

Bischoff has on screen talent... Dixie, not so much

[Drillbit Taylor]

I thought a while ago she said she will never be an on screen character.

[Cry Me a Wiggle]

Here's hoping she brings in P. Diddy to form a stable with Awesome Kong.

terrible

[donners]

Bit unlikely that she would feud with him given that they have constantly shown the footage of the two of them happily together.

It is possible that all this Hogan stuff can be abandoned, and we can keep going with the enjoyable shows and PPVs that TNA has turned out lately?

That just sounds nasty.

Isn't it weird that TNA has been more entertaining in the past few months than it possibly ever has withOUT the Hogan stuff, and now we're in for big changes that may torpedo the hell outta all of that?

Cornette's theory is that this is a direct result of Bischoff and Hogan fast-talking, and phase 2 will be the two men plundering the TNA budget, then driving the company into the ground. I'm hoping Jimmy is wrong but this isn't a good sign.

We ARE calling this new stable PDA, right?

I hope this is just newz.

Cornette is pretty bitter, though.

Also, does this mean that Izzy will be coming in, and Jay Lethal will be repackaged as Hydro?

It could be interesting. I have been suspecting that for a while. As long as she doesn't go the whole McMahon route it could be cool. I can see her beig a face authority figure that rarely appears a la JJ Dillon at one point in WCW.

See, if Dixie went all Jack Tunney, it'd be fine. Show up, but extremely rarely for the truly big announcements/stipulations. However, I have this feeling that, if she does become an "on air character" it'll be Vinny Mac 2.0.

Once again I'm in the minority. Sounds like a great idea to me.
