Former TNA star Christopher Daniels appeared on this week’s episode of The Shoot podcast, around the 1-hour mark. Here are some
highlights of what he talked about:
Dixie Carter & If She’s Changed Since Becoming TNA’s Top
Heel: “My opinion is that she’s always been the same. I mean
i feel like because she’s taken on the responsibility of being a character
on the show, she’s a little more stressed out maybe cause
there’s a little more responsibility rather than just her going out there and
sort of being herself like she’s going out there and portraying a character.
There’s a lot of effort, a lot of stuff going around when she became this
character and there’s a lot of pressure for her to perform, so i think that
effects you in certain ways. But she hasn’t changed in a negative way in that
respect. She’s just got a lot of pressure on her now to perform and sort of hang
with guys who have been doing this for a lot longer than her. It’s a lot of
pressure to put on yourself, to go in there and sort of get some story lines
across with a lot of the big guys. I think she’s got a good group of people
working for her and she’s working hard to get as much done for the company as
she can.”
TNA World Title Matches Often Ending With Screwy
Finishes: “I don’t think it’s an idea where oh well here’s a world title match lets dilute it down with wacky finishes. I think whenever
they use it the mentality is that there’s a reason they’re trying to get a
specific response from the fan base at that point. They have
their reasons for doing these things. Do they always translate to the viewers?
Maybe not. But i mean like i said before they’re making their decisions and they
have a certain mindset, they have a certain goal that they’re trying to reach
and the message that they’re trying to reach that goal with, whether they reach
it or not is i guess up to the fan base. If the fan base is turning off the television
when they see these things going on i mean that’s the message to send. But
that’s up to the fans at that point to say well we’re not going to put up with
this, we want to see something different. Let your voices be heard.”
