‘One of the most influential women in American Sports’ is not a tag that everyone gets often. However, for a woman, who oversees the day-to-day operations of a wrestling promotion that produce more than 500 hours of programming viewed across 120 countries presented in 14 different languages, such a tag is well earned.
In case you have not guessed yet, the ‘woman’ referred in the last sentence is none other than the president of Total Nonstop Action (TNA), Dixie Carter. As part of her efforts in growing the reach of TNA globally, Dixie recently visited India.
We managed to get in touch with her for an exclusive interview.

A lot of new talent like EC III, Rock star Spud, Eli Drake, and Bram, there are so many and I could go on. They’ve grown so much but I think we also did a fantastic job with people like Drew Galloway who was at the WWE and came in and completely relaunched himself. There are definitely some incredibly talented wrestlers on the market right now and some will be available at some part of this year. And I do see ourselves talking to them. I think it would be exciting to bring a few into TNA.
