It may be her character to be a delusional screw-up but I don't like it just like I didn't like Mike Adamle as Raw GM.

If she did it on purpose, fair enough, but why Sabin of all people? Why make one of your champions look like trash? What's the payoff? If you're gonna bury someone, why not use some lower card geek? Because that was the only match in the tournament so far and Sabin is the only guy so far who couldn't get the job done and be Dixie's champion? Her character has made it clear that she's in it for herself and that she has the "what have you done for me lately" attitude. Where does it go from here? Who knows, it could end up with Sabin sucking up to Dixie and trying to impress her by interfering in matches for her? It could lead to Dixie doing the same thing to all the other losers in the tournament until they all revolt? It could go anywhere so I'm going to say what the IWC is very good at saying and that is "let's see where this goes guys." It was blindingly obvious that the "Jeff Hardy beat somebody" line was scripted because there was no hesitation in her voice, the sentence was delivered the way it was supposed to have been and I'm sorry but anyone who can't see that has to be trying very hard not to see. EDIT So what was the storyline when Booker T forgot John Morrison's name on commentary? Booker clearly fumbled. Dixie didn't. She delivered her line as if she knew exactly what she was doing. |

If she does that to all of the losers of the tournament, that's really dumb IMO. There's downplaying someone's abilities and there's making a guy sound like a nobody and Dixie went the latter route. I hate that. Unless the payoff here is that Dixie gets fired (or eats somebody's finisher but I seriously doubt that will happen), it's making a guy look bad for no real benefit. It really doesn't help when the guy in question, Sabin, HAS been booked like a complete inconsequential nobody since he lost the World title to Bully Ray. If TNA can turn this into something interesting, I'll eat crow and admit that I was wrong. But, I would bet money that nothing will come out of this and Sabin will just look like trash because why not? |

Not to mention, Sabin and Hardy, as expected, tried to kill themselves for a dumb match that shouldn't have happened. If Sabin turns babyface from this, fine, but she just shit all over one of her former World Champions. All those ladder bumps for nothing. Hell, more then nothing. He would have been better off not wrestling in the tournament at all. I'm shocked people think this wasn't a screw up. I'm guessing Mike Adamle is the best worker in history. Calling him Jeff Harvey was part of his character of course. |

Hey, to be fair.......Dixie calls Magnus "Magus" all the time.
Which means she either cant say the N in his name or is a huge fan of Chrono Trigger.

There is a delicious irony in Johnny Ace becoming a cult act, yet the broader reaction to Dixie's goof-troop run seems to be that it's transgressed some sacred boundary. Dixie's a bit of a boon, and it's understandable that she'd want to play a heighten, exaggerated version of some's personal impression of her. Hell, Impact Wrestling, for its many, many flaws, actually does provide a somewhat coherent ending to their 'wait and see' arcs.
Mind, they overrun them, and they're wheezing impressions of the angle they once were, but there are definitive endings in TNA, and it's a solace I'm happy to take.

He can start having a gimmick where he can put up move barriers to no-sell certain attacks: one for high flying, one for submissions, and one for brawling stuff. |

So this Dixie forgetting Sabin's name angle is really going places. Did this really need to be said? I mean it's almost as if you're baiting the people who weren't up in arms about a character quirk. Also character quirk =/= an angle and 'ditzi deluded southern belle' Dixie is clearly her gimmick, get over it. |

You though need to calm down and not take criticism of Dixie Carter as a personal assault. |
