***THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A **SPOILER** FOR FUTURE EPISODES OF TNA
IMPACT!***:
UPDATE: As reported earlier, Dixie Carter was legitimately
hurt after being put through a table by Team 3D during a segment taped at this
week’s iMPACT! tapings. Some backstage believe Carter suffered some type of back
injury from the spot, but that regardless of her physical condition, the spot
was designed to remove her character from TV for now. It is now confirmed that
following the table spot, she won’t be featured on TV for the time being. That
was her official “write-off.”
ORIGINAL: TNA President Dixie Carter was said to have been
legitimately hurt after she took her bump through a table during Thursday
night’s iMPACT! Wrestling tapings in New York City. According to sources, Carter
was reportedly very banged up, even though Bully Ray did everything possible to
protect her. Carter received a sit-down powerbomb through a table, similar to a
spot he did on Mae Young in the WWE.
Even if she was protected, Carter is not trained as a wrestler. One wrestler
reportedly said, “If you aren’t calloused to it, even one bump is going to feel
like a car wreck. Of course she got hurt. That was the first bump she ever took
in her life.”
Stories from backstage include Carter suffering a concussion and/or
aggravated an existing back issue. Multiple sources within the company are
claiming it was a legitimate injury for Carter, but there are some who think it
is a work to sell the storyline.
Several people in the company were also said to be impressed with Carter
taking the bump in order to see the storyline through. The plan was to have
Carter’s bump close out the current storyline and write her off TV for the time
being. She was stretchered out of the ring after the bump.

City where Bully Ray powerbombs Dixie Carter through a table:
