Again not to mention Hulk Freakin' Hogan.

Shut the f*** up, Dixie. Sting is WCW, Joe is ROH, and Bully Ray is ECW. You MIGHT have an argument if AJ's on his way, but even then, give how much he's burned you and improved since he left, I think he'd prefer himself to be known as a NJPW guy. I think he does regard himself as a New Japan guy after how well they treated him and the crowds embracing him as one of their own, let's face it, NJPW did what TNA flat out refused to do and made him a star and his stock is higher than all who's left in TNA combined. Also you gotta look at AJ's final match in TNA in 2014 where he faced Magnus and they decided to do everything to stack the deck against AJ before sending him off on an emphatic Eff You ending. Compare that to how NJPW presented Styles, where a move that TNA often made sure to be no-sold (the Styles Clash) was presented as one of the most dangerous moves in New Japan.

Again its a contrast of the two companies, TNA expected AJ within a months' time to come crawling back on his hands and knees begging to be rehired, when that appeared to not be happening like they expected, they've whitewashed him and acted as though he was a minor player in their history. Whilst New Japan, while he got beaten down by Omega he was shown helped to his feet and to the back by The Young Lions and the crowd was chanting his name putting him over after all he's accomplished and you could see the gratefulness in his eyes for what they've done to him.

I'm pretty sure Team 3D was let go from the WWE just before they came there and Sting was a big time WCW act that once he got to the WWE most fans act like it was the first time since WCW he was sense. GREAT marketing job TNA being able to make Sting not noticed for over 10 years because your crappy marketing job. I'm even more sure that ALL three left TNA because you where to cheap to pay them. Same with AJ. He left because you didn't want to give him a raise.

Again not to mention Hulk Freakin' Hogan. Oh, and for an added bonus, their latest big pick-up is a bonafide ROH talent who is largely over due to his valet/wife, who happens to be one of the last cover girls to come out of the WWE/Playboy deal, and came out of the WWE Diva Search. Who, might I add, came out of the same Diva Search as Christy Hemme, one of TNA's highest paid talents on last count.

They just stole James Storm from NXT by offering him TWICE what they did. How do they expect anyone to stick around with NXT if they're gonna be throwing money around like that?

That is true that all of them started elsewhere but these were TNA talent at this point. They had been with TNA for a long, long, time. And we could put Angle in there too. The thing she forgot to say was that the reason these three are not with TNA is it's cause of TNA's own fault. The main reason Sting was not going to the WWE was that TNA kept renewing his contract and make him important on the show. The moment they were not willing to do that, he jumped ship. With Joe, they have jerked him around so much, they almost forced him to leave. With Bully, the guy was seeing the writing on the wall, TNA was a sinking ship at this point.

Difference is TNA would bring in a guy and advertise him as "ex-WWE guy". WWE brings in a guy and creates a new character for him. Frankly both methods are shit. Especially when it's a star, better use them the way they are but add new elements to their game. That's the key. When it's too new like DDP as the motivational speaker or stalker, it doesn't work.

She's talking like the wrestlers don't have any say of their own of where to go when their contract is up... Going with who offers what I percieve as the better deal is not "taking talent", it's being smart. I guess 'being smart', though, is a concept Dixie's never heard of...
I feel as if I could call her dumb, but that would be an insult towards dumb people.

Ditzy is just as ignorant about the way wrestling works as TNA's most loyal advocates. She's nothing besides a money mark with a bigger budget than the typical money mark.
