This week, a video of Dixie Carter addressing TNA Wrestling talent during a televised 2009 Impact segment went viral. Her speech was in response to criticism following the news that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff had signed with TNA. Here’s what Dixie said…

“Nobody likes drastic change. Nobody likes big moves. I understand that, and it affects different people in different ways. And while I respect that those of you out there might have differing opinions of the decisions that I’m making, I expect you to support me one hundred percent. When you question things in this company, you’re questioning me — and I cannot allow that to happen. Business is about choices. I’ve made the choice to put my finances, my reputation, my passion, my love behind each and every one of you and this company. And it’s time for you to do the same thing. You have a choice to make. You can choose to support me. You can choose to support the direction TNA is going. Or you can choose not to — but you’ll need to find another place to work.”

Former TNA star Velvet Sky commented on the video clip via Twitter/X…

“I remember this day. The consensus of the locker room and staff during this ‘meeting’ was not one single person gave a shit what she was saying and we actually had to take time out of production day for this nonsense from her and it had to be filmed so she could have her ‘my way or the highway’ ego stroked even more. She was not well received by most because of the way she treated people who could do nothing for her and the way she would talk down to people. Vile.”
