I remember once there were fans in the front row chanting for ODB. When she was in the back later, Dixie told her that she noticed the fans chanting for her. ODB, trying to be modest, responded by joking, “Thanks, I paid for them to be there.†Dixie then laughed and said, 'We don’t pay you enough for that.'"

robbo9292 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 This was a good read and it is true, she stays loyal to the people that can be seen as sinking the ship while fans are even telling her that the product stinks and they need to go. Yes it wouldn't have been right having Heyman in control of money (hiring and firing on his own, we all know the ECW situation) but booking wise he would know what to do.

Paper¢ut™ Gambino Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 This is that same website that has been slandering TNA for the past couple months now, and since it's the only website that carries any of these stories, I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

V to I Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 These stories make me we wonder. I really feel like theres something very wrong with TNA management and the way business is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nWo_Kevin Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 This is that same website that has been slandering TNA for the past couple months now, and since it's the only website that carries any of these stories, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Sad part is people actually believe these sides. I was watching a wrestling stream a few weeks back and one of the people in the chat box was talking about how Karen was only on TV because Dixie's husband trying sexually harassing her. Now if this was on a reputable site I might actually read it but I take sites with hidden agendas with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, like I only see one article about WWE which actually would do any damage, and it still isn't as bad as any of the TNA articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what gets me (could be wrong) is the guy hides behind the name "S.Bruce" does anyone know who this guy his? His real name? What knowledge he has of the wrestling business? He claims that he's talked to current and former members of TNA which means he has connections. Yet no one knows him so whose to say that his connections are just Bullshit? Other wrestling sites like ProWrestling.net provide their real names and are held to their word because their reputation depends on it. This guy hides behind a screen name to not take any responsibility for his posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonameneeded Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 RE: How credible these articles are Daffney rt'd the one about her, which was partly why it got as big as it did, it was her story too. Stevie Richards has rt'd their stuff too. It's easy to say its biased, but a lot of the stuff they bring up us just what wrestlers themselves have said. Taylor Wilde admitted herself she was caught at sunglass hut while champion, Kong and Gail have talked openly about the money issues, and guys like Matt Bentley were talking about the crappy working conditions long before that site came about. They don't pay medical bills, no one can argue that anymore. It's been confirmed enough times. There is even a lawsuit about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore. Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 This hasn't changed my views on Dixie at all. Her YouShoot interview didn't do her any justice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTS Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 For anybody that's depressed after reading that,check out the links about Vince's craziness. They're f*cking awesome!!! Vince calls him into his office to ask why he stopped riding with him. “Do you not like Vince anymore?†(Apparently he had a habit of referring to himself in the third person at times).

Kayfabe Commentaries did a YouShoot (live) with her... it was quite funny... such as her going to say if people chant "Fire Russo" she is going to fire someone else...

RazR Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 The whole story is about Dixie's treatment towards the Knockouts and.....it makes sense. Sorta I'm just wondering what the ratings would be like if the Knockouts had a main event like Lita and Trish did on RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
