10 Big Questions With TNA President Dixie Carter

4. Being A Woman In The Wrestling Business

The wrestling business has traditionally been a male dominated industry. Have you found your gender to be an advantage or a disadvantage? To me, it€™s been an absolute advantage. I think, in the first several years, people didn€™t know quite what to make of me. I€™m a very positive person and a very different personality to what they had experienced in the industry before. You know, I really care about them and I care deeply for this group of people who work for us and for the fans of the show and I think it€™s an absolute advantage in corporate meetings and behind the scenes with the talent. There€™s just a different perspective, I think sometimes. I mean, I can deal with a man, I have no problem, I€™ve done that my entire career. It just gives you a unique perspective, it€™s helped me and played to my advantage many times.
