Dixie’s Kongfidential Quest

Monday, July 26th, 2010

I never did get to talk about the quick end to the new “Monday Night Wars,” but I don’t think I had much to say about it anyway.

In June, Dixie Carter (the TNA Wrestling president, not the recently deceased Designing Woman) began talking about some huge secret thing that would “change TNA on every level.” Not that I’m calling her a liar, but I have a hard time believing that any one thing or person is capable of swooping in and saving TNA anymore. Except maybe Paul Heyman, but apparently it’s bigger than him. What the hell could it be, then!?
