With Billy Corgan taking over as the new President of IMPACT Ventures, former TNA President Dixie Carter has been completely removed from the company’s power structure. Carter now serves as the company’s “Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer” but has virtually no control over the creative direction or day-to-day operations.
Dave Meltzer stated on Wrestling Observer Radio “Dixie’s pretty much out of it now out of power completely, she is completely out of power no matter what’s said, but she may be gone.”
At the latest round of Impact Wrestling tapings from Orlando, Dixie Carter filmed a few segments but left the building immediately after and didn’t stay around for every taping that week. Everybody took notice of Dixie leaving early and “There were some things said that were not so great about her.”
Billy Corgan has already brought in Grammy Award winning singer/musician Sheri Shaw to produce new theme songs for TNA wrestlers. While it may not seem like a huge deal, this is a significant change symbolically because Dixie Carter’s husband Serg Salinas had been handling that job in recent years.
During recent media interviews, Billy Corgan has begun laying out his vision for the future of TNA. It’s clear that a significant overhaul is being planned, but first he has to stabilize the financial side and that will take some time. The general consensus is that Impact Wrestling has been very good this year and there is a lot of optimism regarding the new leadership.
