Dixie Carter is the president of TNA and, as such, she should present herself with the utmost class whenever she appears on television. Unfortunately, that has rarely been the case. Inexplicably fancying herself a part of the show, she has been a heel and a babyface, but almost always saw fit to undermine her talent by putting the spotlight on herself.

As Hulk Hogan was on his way out of the company, Carter recognised the dire situation facing her company. Desperate to keep Hogan from leaving, she followed The Hulkster up the entrance ramp...and clung to his leg like the child of a divorcee begging mommy or daddy to stay.

What was meant to get Carter heel heat was, instead, an awkward and uncomfortable moment that portrayed the head of the company as a crying, snivelling child hellbent on keeping her main attraction (and someone perceived to have more power behind the scenes than she) in her camp.
