More Comments from TNA Wrestling President

We posted part of an interview from Dixie Carter (pictured), president of TNA Wrestling earlier week. Here are more excerpts from it:

On holding back the news of Kurt Angle signing with TNA:
"Your natural instinct is to share exciting news with everyone, but I knew that I couldn’t. That was very difficult to do, but to ensure this would remain a secret, only a handful of people would find out, and it was out of necessity for the few who did."

On Sting discovering Angle's signing with TNA:
"I didn’t tell Sting because I really wanted to see the true reaction on his face when he saw Kurt. When I walked into the restaurant, Sting greeted me, but his face was perplexed when Dave Hawk, Kurt’s agent, walked in behind me. You could tell Sting was wondering who Dave was and why he was such a big surprise.

Then in walked Kurt, and Sting was truly blown away. Sting kept shaking his head from side to side, and just kept repeating, ‘Wow.’ Sting was almost speechless."

On Vince Russo's return to TNA:
"Vince Russo is a different man today than when he first joined TNA, and I would assume even much more different than he was during his time in WWF/WCW. His faith is now in the center of his life. He’s always had an amazing heart, but his priorities over the past few years have shifted tremendously."

On Vince McMahon & WWE:
"I have never met him, but you have to respect all the success that Vince and his wife Linda have achieved with WWE. I have said it before … Vince McMahon is one of the great marketers in the entertainment business."
