“This changes everything.”-Dixie Carter on Impact.

Oh, I wish it did. But it really doesn’t at all, as it’s more authority figures bickering, as we saw Billy Corgan and Dixie Carter finally unleash all that non-existent pent up tension against each other.

After Corgan joined TNA, he did a series of interviews with the media talking about what it takes to make a successful wrestling promotion in this era. He seemed to have a solid grasp of the business, and knew a lot about the history. Amazingly, he also talked about leaving himself off-air. After all, a wrestling show is about wrestlers. Well, that didn’t last too long.

It’s not so much Billy being on-air that’s frustrating, because he does have some mainstream popularity, it’s that he’s brought Dixie Carter with him. For starters, she makes him about 90% less cool, as she already beyond wore out her welcome as a character when she turned heel and battled MVP over who could be the worse owner.

Dixie has likely been watching as of WWE late, and wondered why she wasn’t belittling her wrestlers and showing her physical dominance over them like Stephanie McMahon does. So, she decided it was time to change all that. Last week she slapped Maria to the mat, which will absolutely not lead to a match. Well, since it won't, might as well scrap everything else they have planned for this angle.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
