5. No Changes To The Creative Team
Yet another reason why this can't be considered a relaunch--it's all the same people in positions of power and decision-making. Dixie confirms that the TNA creative team consists of John Gaburick (who no prior booking experience during his time with WWE and his ascension to that position in TNA has been looked upon with immense criticism from those that know him), with Dave Lagana and Matt Conway rounding out the group. Both Lagana and Conway have been with the company for quite some time, and while the creative direction has improved considerably over the last year, it would have been nice to see them inject some fresh perspectives into the process. In regards to if there are any outside sources helping with the booking, she does say that Gaburick has a "bigger group of people that pitch him ideas" and promises there are subtle changes coming.
