Dixie Talks About TNA Changing PPV Schedule By Reducing Number Of PPV

TNA president Dixie Carter says she is not a fan of the current once-a-month PPV format and she would like to see the formula shaken up.

"I'm not a big fan of monthly PPVs, quite honestly, but you have contracts that keep you held in and bound at times," Carter told John Pollock of Live Audio Wrestling on Sunday night. "We're definitely talking about trying to shake things up and do things differently in the future."

Carter's statement was in response to Pollock's question about whether TNA will focus on six big PPV events in the future rather than 12 per year that tends to water down the product.

Carter stressed the company will be addressing many of the elements of the product that have become stagnant or too formula.

"I work very, very closely (creatively). I'm not going to profess to be a wrestling writer. I am good at challenging people. It's not just ratings, but other things as well," Carter said. "We've made a lot of changes internally to present the product more real and focusing on these young guys."

Carter was also asked what area of their business TNA needs to address the most. She said top on the list is adding more TNA programming to compete against WWE in the U.S. market.

I don't really think this will cause any trouble maybe this way fueds can become a little more interesting because the PPV will be farther away so the "Deciding Match" will be held latter instead of just ending the feud in three weeks,

I wish she would stop talking about competeing with the WWE she should be happy as shit the company is thriving and let it thrive a little longer before trying to take on the greatest wrestling promotion in the history of wrestling, WWE is a Giant among men in the business it doesn't matter if their shows are crap they a lot more power than TNA does

i dont think they should even try and compete, just keep trying to steal some of their fans and in time they will understand that TNA puts on some good stuff.

i think they have more chance growing by letting fans who only watch WWE see their product ASWELL as wwe, not instead of. people can decide then which they think is better.

epic fail if they just go head to head. just market bigger and better and they will get people tuning in to see.

oh and does anyone think TNA will host an MMA fight one day?

also seemed alot of their hopes seem to be on bobby lashley never losing so he can big up TNA via bigger news media more often

maybe in the future they can go head WWE first they need to go on like they do now its going great in my view

i think they will host an MMA fight when bobby lashley gets bigger in the MMA

I hope to god lashley doesnt go on a massive TNA winning streak, cos that will be fucking embarrasing when he gets KO'd by someone in MMA.

thatd bring out the "wrestling is fake" crowd so hard

I'd like to see TNA cut down their PPV's too around 6 per year, once every two months would be quite enough and would give a program 7 or 8 iMPACT! shows to really get into it, it would also help build anticipation as well

Think the fact about 4 people buy TNA PPV's might effect the decision too

2 of those 4 are Dixie and Jarrett

the other two are mic foley and kurt angle
