TNA Deathwatch: Die Another Day

[Deleted]

Honestly the really amazing thing that's getting glossed over in all this is the word about how it's not at all unusual for her to show up for tapings late, relegate them entirely to someone else, then leave early.

So basically, she has no interest in actually doing anything to run the company nor does she care at all about the actual quality of it, Dixie's keeping such a desperate grip on it entirely to keep her name on the paperwork.

TNA will outlive the solar system.

I forget if it was here or somewhere else I saw it, but someone said that even if a nuclear bomb were to be dropped on Orlando during an Impact taping, Dixie would just crawl out of the wreckage and keep running TNA.

Holy Christ, I've just worked it out.

Dixie is Moira from Fallout 3. Same chipper passive-aggressive can-do attitude, even when turned into a ghoul from a nuclear bomb blast.

She can even be manipulated by the people she trusts. If she gets people with TNA's best interest at heart, it can flourish and become a big hit. If she gets lazy and self-serving people contributing, her work becomes a massive failure and she becomes a giant laughingstock.

Say what you will about Vince's micromanagement of everything WWE, but control freak or not, the dude clearly lives and breathes his company with a commitment nobody can ever call into question. It was a big deal when he left Wrestlemania 30 early to go into the ambulance with Taker instead of staying to watch the main event go down, and reports that he was conducting a few weeks post-Summerslam from his office due to health issues was newsworthy in that he's never not there himself the whole time. His life is running his wrestling company and it is his baby. At least if he stubbornly goes down with the ship, you can make the argument that he's got the wheel the whole way through and that it's always been that way for him.

Dixie plays games to try and keep control of her company by manipulating everyone and lying about even wanting to sell so that she can keep in control, and she doesn't even have the gall to stay there through the tapings and keep shit together. It's f***ing pathetic.

Vince is why the WWE defeated WCW and why they're still number 1. It all starts at top, you don't get there by showing up late, leaving early, not give a shit about what's going on outside of a select few, and having others do everything. Vince is the boss that will be the 1st one there, the last one to leave, wants everything to work perfectly so he makes sure everything is going good, works harder than anybody else, and won't ask anybody to do something he wouldn't do. If Vince asks you show up to a mouth of Hell and battle demons, you know he'll be the first one there, and in the front with a sword killing demons. Dixie would show up late, leave early, ask others to take care of it, and tell some people they can do whatever they want during the battle.

Yup. When the inevitable day comes that Vince is on his deathbed, I have no doubt that he'll still be working in some capacity.

[Final Countdown Jones]

I can't stop dwelling on this whole Dixie thing now that I've really had time to think about it, because it's kind of a phenomenally appalling thing when you really stop to think about it. People going to bat for Dixie's refusal to sell the company because it's been her baby all these years and of course she would have trouble giving it away. But can it really be her baby if the only time her company is actually doing something, she's not accountable for it? Showing up late, leaving early... I remember Cornette giving a lengthy interview about his time in TNA and when asked about his impression of Dixie Carter he confessed he had almost never interacted her, despite being on-air talent, a road agent, the agent in the truck, and for a long time involved in the creative meetings. Hadn't had many conversation with her though? Doesn't sound like Dixie's baby to me, sounds like a vanity project, not a passion project.

I write for a living, and I live and die by everything I publish and its reception, because when you put your heart into something and really try to make it work, you care about seeing it proceed. When the coach sees two minutes left on the clock and knows the score can't be evened out, he doesn't walk off the field knowing the team's got it in hand. The stars of a movie don't go to the red carpet premiere just to see how the movie turned out, they do it to feel for the reaction in the room, for how people respond to what they've made. Stories of the reaction in gorilla position when someone gets backstage or moments like Triple H coming out after Alexander/Ibushi wouldn't have ever happened and rewarded the talented wrestlers who put on the great performance if everyone said "Well, match is going, time for a smoke" and left it barren. There is a pride in your work no matter what your job is that should leave you wanting to see it through if your heart is really in it.

Dixie is clinging to this company because it's her only chance at passing fame. It's the hope of a reality show, the fact that the "Dixie Carter (Wrestling)" page exists. She spent vast amounts of money, mostly other peoples' to court the biggest free names in wrestling and bring them all together, not so they could put on a great alternative product, but because they were status symbols. Every ex-WWE guy from the difference makers and reinventors like Angle and Christian all the way down to the shitty cast-offs like Kennedy, were just pieces to prove her company had money and notoriety. She thought having Hulk Hogan on the payroll would be enough to make people watch the show and care. Despite a marketing degree she never once tried to use Hulk Hogan to boost the profile of her company and instead of pushing her own product and advertising it, she tried to take shots at a titan of the business that mostly ignored them, but she craved the recognition enough to keep it going time and time again.

After Slammiversary 2015, it was reported that Jarret's return, push, and the GFW invasion were all part of Dixie buying up Jeff's remaining stake in the company, making her the sole owner. She'd done it, and become the person owning the entire kingdom of what had once been a Jeff Jarrett passion/vanity project, now fully a Dixie Carter vanity project. But in the past year and change, the money has kept drying up, almost everyone who came to define TNA is gone, and Dixie's had to keep the lights on by parceling off bits and pieces of the companyto different parties. She went from sole owner to one of allegedly four owners, who held little pieces and minority stakes in the company that she still ruled. Hell, even her intention earlier this year to get investors on board was to go and seek out four parties willing to buy 10% stakes in the company, leaving Dixie with a controlling 60. Instead, she's had to sell off some of the tape library to her Canadian network connection, defaulted on paying the second production company and ending up with them taking a lien on a portion of the company while she completely blew off the first company, which doesn't have potential neo-nazis in high positions in the place. And then she found the golden goose in Billy Corgan, who genuinely loves wrestling and may not be good at booking but goddammit he tries, and he comes off like he genuinely wants to make the company succeed for its own sake rather than so he can have people saying his name again.

It ties in a pretty sinister and despicable way into the news Dixie never intended to sell. f*** this idea that Dixie needs to be defended or that anyone would have trouble giving up their baby. This isn't about her baby. This is about letting everyone who wants to turn her company around and make it succeed tear each other apart while she plays the southern belle shit up as hard as she can, and then step in lying through her teeth to everyone, talent and owners included in different ways, and then not even stick around for the tapings afterward. Just f***ing right off, because the only thing that matters is keeping her company going, finding the money so that she can put on shows of people going out there and burning their lives out just a tiny bit faster to keep the minor notoriety about her name.

The sooner this company goes belly up, the sooner Dixie can do a couple shoot DVDs and then f*** right off from wrestling and her only distant shot at fame.

(I had a little bit too much time to think on this.)

We have our first morale : HIGH statement, by Borash

Current state of TNA:
"Well again, and this is just, you talk about wide view looking down, this, whatever came out yesterday. In the last seven days. In the last week-and-a-half. In the last month-and-a-half. We're getting sold, our tape library is going to WWE, da-da-da-da-da, Lucha Underground is buying us. And, how many of those things that you've read about, have turned out to be true? We're still here, we're still producing a show, and as of last week, my checks have never been missed. So you know, it's kinda one of those things where 'Alright, there's another thing that's out. Is it all factual? Is it all speculation?' I can tell you that there have been huge things that have been reported in the last two weeks. Completely fabricated by somebody. And, when you have those things out there, it really takes away from the narrative, which is the boys, which is the product, which is the storylines, which is the television show. You know, there is no other business in the world, I can tell you, I know first-hand. You go out into the real world, there is no other business where you have to go to work, and fear that every detail of what we are up to is going to be online, criticized, read. It's messed up. It's just the passion that the fans have. And, it's the reality of the situation."


"Morale is great. Wrestlers wrestle, and that's it. You know, again, hopefully it's, whatever is out there does not serve as a distraction. Here was my philosophy, and I adopted this about eight years ago, seven years ago. Strangely enough, just uh, talk to somebody about it, that we kinda talk to. I had had enough, but AA really preaches the Serenity Prayer, and that is about being able to separate what you can do something about, and what can't do anything about, and not stress yourself over things you can't do anything about. At that point in my career, I thought, 'I'm going to wake up every day, and do exactly what I want to do.' And, once you can kinda separate that, and realize that there are things that you can't do anything about, there are things you can focus on though, you'll probably be a happier person

It'd be hard to trust a person who talks like this, much less writes like this.

Seriously, if there are good things in here, it's steeped in a lotta weird corporate wrestling hype......a bit too much to make the effort worth it.

Also, a guy whose checks come in on time saying his checks come in on time doesn't always speak for those whose checks ARE CLEARLY NOT coming in on time.

[Final Countdown Jones]

"Ignore the stories of us having financial troubles, they're made up. Even the ones that came from our president going on a radio show and basically saying we were broke as shit and have zero ways of actually turning the ship around into something that has any hope of bringing in enough money to even cover the basic costs of operation, let alone our mounting debt. I've never been late on payment, which means everything about our company being late on payment ever is full of crap, please ignore us being sued by for over 200 grand by our former production company, that's all just pretend nonsense. Oh by the way that thing about our president suing us and putting out a restraining order on our majority owner, her husband, and our CFO? Totally not effecting anything, our wrestlers are still happy to be here and none of us are worried anything is wrong. You're all marks, just like the State of Tennessee and their nonsense idea we owe them any taxes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to look into if states can tap into extradition treaties."

TNA spin is always the kind of deluded spin that makes you wonder why none of them are running for public office.

Yeah, "I'm getting paid so everyone else is getting paid" is bullshit when it's been reported multiple times by people that they werent getting paid and two of their former home grown Main Eventers were just on NXT Television because they were owed 6 figures and gave them the Pay me or release me ultimatum.

[Push R Truth]

I've made this same post like 17 times, but since it's a new thread AND since it's becoming more and more true I'll repeat:


If you pitched a sitcom/movie about a moron running a company (not unlike the Office) and just listed off TNA stories, Hollywood would tell you it's too outlandish and unbelievable.

This is about letting everyone who wants to turn her company around and make it succeed tear each other apart while she plays the southern belle shit up as hard as she can, and then step in lying through her teeth to everyone, talent and owners included in different ways, and then not even stick around for the tapings afterward. Just f***ing right off, because the only thing that matters is keeping her company going, finding the money so that she can put on shows of people going out there and burning their lives out just a tiny bit faster to keep the minor notoriety about her name.

The sooner this company goes belly up, the sooner Dixie can do a couple shoot DVDs and then f*** right off from wrestling and her only distant shot at fame.

(I had a little bit too much time to think on this.)

You should post that on Medium. People other than us need to read it.

Did someone transcribe every single word that came out of Borash's mouth there? His statement reads like a madman's diary.

I've made this same post like 17 times, but since it's a new thread AND since it's becoming more and more true I'll repeat:


If you pitched a sitcom/movie about a moron running a company (not unlike the Office) and just listed off TNA stories, Hollywood would tell you it's too outlandish and unbelievable.

Nazis? Ha! Like anyone is going to believe that!

IDK if this means anything but Aron Rex changed his twitter handle back to his real name Aron Stevens. I wonder if other TNA wrestlers are going to change their name with the rumoured non payment leaving their contract thing
