  2. SHOOTOPIA - 2010 Dixie Carter Shoot Interview w/ Blake Murphy

    Episode 114

    Show notes

    **Part of Nasty Casty Appreciation Week**

    Poor Dixie Carter man. In an effort to win some fan appeal back, here in 2010 she is the guest at YouShoot LIVE! As the main interviewee, Dixie is asked very direct, brodenline relentless questions by the in theatre audience. This shoot covers her reasoning on bringing in Bischoff, Hogan and Russo, trying to justify pairing AJ Styles with Ric Flair, and talking about what wrestlers hit on her. It's one for the books, and Blake knows this era of TNA as well as anyone. I hope you enjoy.
