Jaws dropped worldwide when Eric Bischoff and Vince McMahon embraced upon 'Easy E's appointment as the Raw General Manager in July 2002. The true sign of McMahon's dominance over the industry, the ability to bring WCW's former head honcho in as an employee to bully and abuse on television was a greater power grab than scraping up the remnants of the company in 2001.

Dixie Carter was a far inferior television performer than Bischoff in her time as the generic heel authority figure in TNA, but became inexorably associated with the good and bad of the troubled brand throughout her entire tenure. Cast on screen and in real life as everything from a saint to satan, she was a divisive figure that oversaw the endless self-mutilation of a once promising promotion.

Now entirely separate from the company outside of an advisory role for parent company Anthem Entertainment, Dixie will likely continue her gradual exit from the industry, but will almost certainly never end up in WWE due to her inordinate wealth meaning she never needs to work again.

That the company almost made it to a level where TNA were considered a rival to WWE in any metric is about the most credit she can be afforded for her time as the company's top official.
