Dixie Carter has a very sincere presence, and last night she was positively beaming upon introducing the new executive in charge of the Knockouts division, Brooke Hogan. Presumably, Carter was there to diffuse any negativity in the air directed at the controversial appointee.
Though there were some jeers from the Orlando faithful, it was not overwhelming.
Carter said on air what she has been saying in interviews about Ms. Hogan's passion and mind for wrestling. The two had a genuine and pleasant segment together, but afterward, I wondered why this really energetic boardroom moment was presented in the context of a wrestling program.
While I like that Carter is involving the live audience to take the stodginess out of corporate affairs and make the company seem grassroots, perhaps future segments similar to this one would work better as a website exclusive—still in front of the crowd, still a part of the TNA Live experience, but broadcast in a different venue for a more dedicated audience.
Carter's infectious faith in Brooke's creative abilities has given me hope all parties will put the focus on the talented wrestlers, and not in Brooke as a dominating on-air character. I will keep my mind open and look forward to what this partnership brings. There is no reason Brooke Hogan cannot be the Stephanie McMahon of TNA—and hopefully she will learn from that executive's career path.
