We all remember Dixie's Speech from over a year ago. How many have questioned her running the company. If you haven't, here it is.
Basically what shes saying is if you question her, you might as well find another job. Certain people have questioned her decisons (I think mainly bringing in Hogan and his cronies.) And that pissed her off. Hell, half the people you see in the stands are not only bored to death..but half of them aren't even with the company anymore.
That aside, after her speech, has TNA changed for the better? Or did it get worse. Personally I think its a bad idea to air footage of dressing down your workers, but did it work? Just know when you question me posting this..you're questioning every crapper on the forum...

I honestly don't think anyone (wrestlers included) cared about that speech.
As far as I can tell she didn't back it up with actions so it means nothing.
I don't think it had any affect on the product one way or the other.

My favourite part about that video: Lashley nodding off.
You can tell he's thinking "yeah, yeah...when do I get paid?"

TNA is far far far worse now then when it was back then
Dixie doesn't have a clue what she's doing

Did anyone else have a spoilt kid as a friend, when they were a child? The one who got the best toys, then, when you went round to their house, would break the toys deliberately, simply because they would sooner have a broken toy rather than let you play with it...
This made me think of that, and I think I see what that kid grew up to be.

The TNA roster at this point have become masters of making lemonade out of the lemons provided by TNA creative and their reward is to have this woman who has no idea what she's doing tell them to do what they've already been doing(grin and bear it) only that now they'll have to deal with Hulk and Bischoff too.

Oh I agree there as well; it just seems to compound the silliness they actually put it on a show that fans were already watching. She just doesn't come off well at all here.

the best part was that Homicide asked for his release after this and was denied several times. so i guess since it aired on tv it became a work.

Found a good qoute from April Hunter that might apply here:
"I reckon if Dixie Carter spent half as much time promoting as she does twittering, they might actually have some ratings."
True dat, April. True dat.

Dixie's speech would have been better if the wrestlers were randomly yelling "Take it off!" though would require them to be awake.

I just watched this the other day. I still can't figure out who two of those people are.
Terrible, terrible speech.

I didn't think it was a good idea to air that and so far from just a viewer standpoint it has not yet produced the results that I think she anticipated. Could be though, that behind the scenes it worked. None of us can know what has gone on in the tna locker room and overhead staff. It my have worked there we just dunno. But all the fans got was an impression that everybody was in trouble with mom

Wow... she sounded so nervous and unsure of herself. I can't take it seriously at all, and I'm sure none of her workers did either.
Plus, her basic message was "you need to respect me and work harder." She clearly have no clue how to motivate.
