Pretty solid Dixie appearance on Keller's podcast. He was pretty complimentary of TNA's recent direction and the first show. Good listen if you fukks with that Total Nonstop.

PWTorch Livecast - Wade Keller talks live w/Taz & TNA President Dixie Carter
Cliffs:
-Dixie believes they've found the right partnership with Pop. Admits that she basically settled on Destination America because they didn't have proper time to find a partner. Says her meetings with Pop included big time CBS and Lionsgate execs that may lead to out-of-ring opportunities for her talent. Claims just about everybody on the roster expressed confidence in Pop to her after spoken to directly by Pop's CEO.
-Says the company is listening to fan feedback more than ever. Stuff like getting James Storm back was a direct result.
-Says ring action is the company's strong suit, but acknowledges that they kinda fell off and are working to get back to that level.
-Says to expect more new talent debuts in upcoming shows.
-Says WWE leaving PPV has created some provider opportunities for them. Hopes to eventually get to 4 live PPVs a year, then maybe 6.
-Will continue to tape episodes. Wants to make better use of the downtime between tapings (i.e. filming off-site stuff).
-Says TNA is still self-sufficient and that she's proud of that. Says that they've taken expensive chances in the past that didn't pay off.
-Says the tag and knockouts divisions will be back.
-Says Mike Bennett hasn't scratched the surface on his potential. Puts over Maria for being extremely smart to the business. They're very involved in how their characters are presented — TNA isn't handing scripts to their wrestlers, thought they obviously control the direction of the show.
