In a surprising development ahead of the three-part TNA-focused Dark Side of the Ring series, PWInsider.com has reported that former TNA President Dixie Carter turned down multiple requests to be interviewed. While Jeff Jarrett sat for extensive conversations, as did notable names including Jim Cornette, Vince Russo, and The Hardys, Carter declined to share her perspective. Her absence will likely leave a noticeable gap in the documentary’s portrayal of TNA’s turbulent and often controversial history during her long tenure at the helm.
“While Jarrett sat down for extensive interviews and others will be appearing, including Jim Cornette, Vince Russo and The Hardys, one major name turned down multiple overtures to appear and be interviewed, PWInsider can confirm – Dixie Carter … turned down several invitations to sit down and discuss her memories and perspective.” – PWInsider.com
Dixie Carter first joined TNA in 2002 when her marketing firm took on publicity duties for the young promotion. After a key investor withdrew, she convinced her family’s Panda Energy company to purchase a controlling 71% stake. Subsequently, she was appointed president later that year and guided TNA for over 14 years, transforming it into a major promotion with national television deals and high-profile signings, including Kurt Angle and Hulk Hogan. However, many have been critical of her overall business decisions, with some holding her responsible for the promotion’s eventual fall from grace.
