Dixie Carter's infamous talent speech aired 16 years ago today.

Tone deaf corporate slop which killed morale

She basically said fuck you all I know better

Lashley being there is blowing my mind. Dude was somehow in every company at once during the past 15 years

Holy shit This aged so fucking bad man... The irony is 2009 they were onto so.ething very special and the timing of the Hogan shit really couldn't have been worst

Before a certain BROTHER showed up

One of the dumbest things I’ve seen a promoter do

“When you question things in this company, you question me.” Yes that’s the point

Bruh D'Angelo Dinero is FRYING me back there 😭😭

madison completely checked out 😭 "i do not give a fuck about any of this"

There’s no way this wasn’t in kayfabe right

And then...Hogan showed up.

Rhyno looks so mortified, he instantly knew how dumb this was

Poor woman had no clue what she got herself into.

I remember thinking this was either going to be the most genius story ever told in professional Wrestling, or the 1st steps of what would be a series of unfortunate events.....when Amazing Kong left and it wasn't part of the show, I knew it was the latter.

Hulk hogan last stop in the "ruining wrestling " tour

Omg Victoria’s face card! 😍😍😍

Can you post the one with hogan when she talks about rocket fuel?

Still would tho!

“My way or the highway”

It was the start of Dixie's on screen character. Yes it could've been done a little better, some more reaction from the wrestlers. But still crying about it is ridiculous. Awesome time in TNA. It was good to get Dixie on screen. Wrestling history would be a lot poorer otherwise.

I only need to listen to this for 30 seconds to understand that this lady has no clue about running a wrestling promotion. Which rich asshole put his ditzy wine-mom wife in charge of TNA???

@DonTonyD This was embarrassing, felt bad for every wrestler there. It’s a fine speech for behind closed doors.

@bullyray5150 was this the time you were thinking about putting her through a table yet or not

She might have just said "What the fuck are you all gonna do go to WWE???"

I swear I don’t remember this being on air… Dixie WTF was you thinking??

loltna

Hey go listen to @TNAHistoryPod

She is the reason why TNA will never grow because it’s dead

What a mark.
