The dirt sheet guessers have been claiming TNA is losing money every time the roster gets turned over to freshen up talent. Dixie Carter recently spoke with Sports Illustrated and proved what we have said here all along at IWHeadlines: the dirt sheets have no idea what they are talking about.
From the article:
TNA Impact shows began airing in October 2005 — the true game changer for the company. It quickly found a loyal audience between one and two million viewers a week. (TNA ratings have become so steady and reliable on Spike over its eight years, that executives like to joke that they can set their watches to them.)
“Once we got on Spike, we changed a lot of things and our revenues grew,” Carter said. “We’ve been cash flow positive for the last four or five years. After that point, Panda stopped putting money in the company. We’ve funded it with every dollar we’ve made and maybe that’s kept us from growing quite as fast.”
Haha the fact you even believe what this dumb hick says is hilarious. What a horribly gullible website this is. Its going to suck when your mother tells you Santa isnt real also.
Do you have anything to substantiate your claim that Dixie Carter is lying about her company being profitable? If not, then I’ve got news for you – those voices in your head aren’t real… and they’re lying to you. Seek help.
That guy reads the dirt sheets so of course he knows TNA’s financial situation. The Carters share all of their financial data with the dirt sheets
“Dirt sheets” haha. You are on a gossip site which copies and pastes any
bit of information from the “dirt sheets” and plays it off as news.
Your self awareness is shocking.
How about the fact she let Jesse Sorenson’s mother go bankrupt because her company couldn’t afford to pay for medical bills while he was under contract to them? Does that sound like a profitable company? How about all the cuts they’ve been making? And the return to filming in a studio? You really need to get a life dude. Defending obvious lies isn’t healthy.
It’s obvious that you’ve never run a business or had to deal with contracts related to liability. Can you explain the legal connection between an independent contractor’s family experiencing financial stress and one of the companies that the independent contractor worked for part-time? There is no legal connection.
You want to make a moral argument and say that because Jesse was injured at a TNA event, that TNA has an obligation to offer him financial compensation. Wrestling contracts (including WWE) are not like your standard employment contract – they remove liability on the part of the promotion except under situations where the promotion was grossly negligent. Clearly, TNA was not grossly negligent when Jesse was injured – it was a freak accident and tragic.
We’ll put aside the fact that Dixie stepped up to the plate and maintained Jesse’s job and paycheck even when she had no legal obligation to do so. Instead, let’s get back to facts and feelings. The facts are that Dixie knows her company’s financials better than you or me or anyone else on the internet. But since you feel like you don’t like her, then she must be lying and anyone who supports her must need to “get a life.”
Well, I have a pretty great life as it is so I don’t think I have a need to change anything there. However, you really need to learn to separate facts from your feelings. It makes you look like a weirdo.
It’s obvious this guy doesn’t understand how business works, one reason you hire contractors vs employees is contractors are responsible for their own workers comp, medical insurance ect.
I feel sorry for folks who are so zealous in their hate of TNA. These are the type of people who think that Dixie goes around actually calling everyone “Darlin'” in her daily life. The same folks who – 15 years ago – thought that Vince McMahon went around with a growling, angry voice all of the time.
It’s sad.
Also the same folks who apparently believe that they are Mean Gene Okerlund.
TNA fantards live in their own bubble.
This is about as insightful as if someone wrote, “WWE fantards live in their own bubble.” Weak.
You can always tell when the debate is won, the name calling starts.
