Although Dixie Carter believes the locker room is a happier place because there’s less complaining, more than one wrestler admits to being afraid to voice their creative concerns because of a speech she gave. Late last year, Carter held a meeting in which she offered to let anyone out of their contracts if they were unhappy. In the process, she made it clear that on-air talent should just read their lines and stop complaining about the creative direction. “If you go to Dixie and say Vince Russo and creative sucks, you’re basically saying her decision making sucks,” noted one talent.

Powell’s POV: Even some of the agents have been advising wrestlers who vent their frustration to them to let it end there. There’s definitely been a “don’t rock the boat” feeling in the locker room ever since that meeting. To her credit, Dixie is accessible at most TNA events. She likes to attend the pay-per-views and the following night’s TV taping and does mingle with the talent. However, wrestlers admit there are plenty of people putting on happy faces when she’s around. I can only assume that Paul Heyman was talking about Dixie when he told today’s UK Sun, “TNA is a vanity piece and they don’t want someone who comes in and says, ‘We really have to address all these issues.’”

Is TNA a wrestling company or the army? If it was the army, I could imagine the "authorities" taking this kind of "shut up, listen up, and take orders" kind of attitude, but last I checked, when I watch the History of TNA DVD, Dixie Carter actually hated wrestling before TNA came into her life, which means she knows practically nothing about it.

Besides, why can't the talent politely pitch their ideas? What's the harm in that? It puts no obligation on the creative team, and it lets their ideas be heard. It's called constructive criticism.

I guess I was wrong about TNA all this time. They really have crapified over time (I made that word up). Notice I even got rid of my TNA > DOG CRAP > WWE sig in retaliation to this news.

Seems like crap made up by some crap dirt sheet writer. Seems like there bringing up their own crap they made up some months ago and trying to use it as a source for this crap there trying to give us right now.

Anyway you look at it the dirtsheet writers are trying to hand us piles of crap and telling us it's an exotic food.

This is bullshit.

In fact, it's the complete opposite. Everybody besides the actual bookers book their angles. Brother Ray booked his feud, Angle books every segment of his, Abyss booked his feud with Messias.

^^^Brother Ray have good ideas, that's why he gets to book his ideas, which the feuding party alawys agrees with, since more often than not, Team 3d puts them overe. Abyss is part of the booking commitee and Angle is, well Angle. Do you think AJ Styles gets to book his own segments? How about Storm? I doubt so. They'll just have to do whatever they ask them to do.
