- Spike TV officials have reportedly lost a lot of faith in Dixie Carter after she pushed them on the way they were doing the angle to get The Main Event Mafia back together last year. TNA spent months of building the angle with Dixie telling Spike that she had Kevin Nash and Booker T locked in. Booker and Nash both ended up in WWE, which led to no Main Event Mafia and the Fortune babyface turn on Immortal, ending up with a feud that went nowhere for the most part.

Related to this, Eric Bischoff has more power in TNA these days because Spike TV is working directly through him.
That shit was dumb in the first place to base a whole angle around people you aren't 100% sure are going to be there for it.

Well I'd trust Eric Bishoff with a wrestling company more than Dixie any day of the year.

I wouldn't. Regardless of what people think of Dixie Carter, she took a dying TNA in 2002 and built it up into a financially stable company. Eric Bischoff took a financially stable company and drove it into the ground. Don't get me wrong, I don't think either of them should be running a wrestling company; but Dixie (with someone under her like Jeff Jarrett to run the wrestling side of things) is a much better choice than Eric Bischoff.

It was naive of Dixie to take someone's word in wrestling. To push an angle to the network you are on when two of the guys weren't under contract is poor business. In the end I don't know who I would prefer in charge out of Dixie and Bischoff. Dixie is still very new to the business and can be easily manipulated but then Bischoff has taken one company down before (admittedly after taking it to the top) and he isn't completely invested into TNA as he has other tv projects elsewhere. Bring back Scott D'Amore and give that guy more power.
