I like how she is defining success, but more than that, I want to focus on the 1st paragraph. It was said in another thread about TNA having limited money to deal with deals and what not. I think not. Dixie Carter might I add is the daughter of a very wealthy and billion $$$ corporation in Panda Energy that actually has profits in the millions and billion $$$ range. If she wanted to tap into that pool, plus the pockets of Hogan plus that of the sponsors Hogan and her fathers company can bring, trust me, TNA is not by far hurting for cash at all. Do the research on Panda Energy and the Carter Family that runs it. Also I like how Dixie is having a long term vision here and not focusing on ratings versus as she put it the mere opportunity of being on Monday night instead.

Hogan's pockets are flat brah. Divorces and lawsuits aren't cheap, there's a HUUGGGEEE reason the biggest name in wrestling is still working @ 60 while Austin and Rock aren't. He's got small pockets.
Yah, Panda has money. The Carter family has money. So? How much is Dixie's? How much are they willing to invest in a wrestling company that doesn't turn profit? You are aware that Spike foots the note on all the top salaries, right?
There's another HUUGEEE reason TNA doesn't hit the road, besides the lack of fanbae. It's expensive and Spike isn't willing to foot the bill on that. They're only concerned with T.V product. And Dixie, or whomever is advising her and the money is doing the right thing to prevent huge losses. They plain can't afford it. Can't afford the loss. Can't afford top talent.
Not trying to burst your bubble Enigma, but TNA's pockets are indeed restricted. The main people behind Dixie's money are Energy people, they know how to make money there, they don't know how to make money in wrestling, that's proven, but they also know how to keep from losing lots of it too. That's a good thing. But if they can get something ignited than maybe things will loosen the tight pockets, TNA can tour extensively and expand their product. Then they will have the ammo they need to have a true "War".

Nah bro, I agree with you there totally. You are right, it is mostly her family that has the big deep pockets and everything you said. I was just saying that if she did tap into the family pockets, I am sure as she has before they will support her as from what I understand they have before. Flair has even gone on record asking that if he comes aboard, he wants to have a contract through Panda in case TNA does not for whatever reason makes it. Seems to me like even Flair knows where the money is and the financial security is as well. It's hard to disagree with you anyways because you tend to give very popular (lol) and also very analytical assessments on what you answer and how.

Keep riding that high horse Dixie.
So, going by that logic, ROH has been a winner for a long time now.
