According to multiple employees within TNA Wrestling, as well as former office employees, Dixie Carter may have been forced to step down from her role as TNA President, following the growing number of lawsuits filed against the company.

S. Bruce of Cageside Seats reported that there were suits pending against TNA, including former TNA Knockout Daffney suing for lack of medical coverage; as well as numerous employees reporting the company’s shady practices to the Better Business Bureau.

Carter's mother may be overseeing the company at the moment while her daughter lays low from all of the controversy. This is probably why she hasn’t been active in social networking as of late.

The "straw that broke the camel's back" for Carter's reign as president may have been a sexual harassment lawsuit recently filed against TNA, which has been confirmed by multiple sources.

As for Carter's permanent replacement, many names have been thrown around, but one employee very close to the situation has speculated that former WCW figurehead Eric Bischoff taking over as TNA President is a very realistic possibility.

Bischoff previously served as WCW President in the mid to late-1990s, in what was a rather successful run before over-sized contracts, politics, stagnant storylines, and the rising success of the WWF (now WWE) caught up to him. Bischoff is currently an on-air talent for TNA, but is said to have a powerful presence behind-the-scenes.

Keep in mind, Carter could always return to her position as TNA President when, as one source says, "everything clears up." Unfortunately for her and TNA, that does not look to be happening anytime soon.

Not sure how I feel about this, but oh well they needed less chefs in the kitchen and they have basically gone nowhere with her in recent memory for a company that will soon be 10 years old

The beginning of the end for the company. I know a lot of people always joke about it and such but they really are in some shit it seems. Maybe whoever takes over at president will actually make TNA have some serious progress but right now it just seems like stuff is a mess there.

The company is going downhill quickly, I just read that Daffney is suing them for Workman's Comp.
