Dixie Carter is "incredibly naive"

"From talking to people in WWE, there is said to be "pretty much no concern whatsoever" in regards to TNA's iMPACT! going head-to-head with Monday Night Raw on January 4, 2010. There is such little concern about TNA that WWE is not even looking to move Raw to three hours, though there is talk of lining up a strong guest host for the first two weeks of the new year.

Among those in WWE, the general feeling is that TNA president Dixie Carter is "incredibly naïve" and that TNA is in for a massive disappointment come January 5th when the ratings come in."

And hello! I agree. People weren't turning on the TV to see RVD or Shannon Moore (YEY!) when they were in WWE. So what's the big freakin' deal TNA? Hulk Hogan - who cares? He's marrying someone who is the same age as his daughter and was recently in the news because he wanted to make sure he got an antique toilet seat in his divorce. There are a TON of WWE fans are torqued off at Ric Flair because he was given the send off of a KING and he's throwing it all away for a romp in TNA. The only way this will be even marginally successful is if people watch out of curiosity, and I imagine even then the ratings won't hold over time. TNA does this all the time. Sting, Kurt Angle... they all brought a minor ratings surge, but the issue is that TNA does NOTHING to hold their audience.
