Dixie Carter looking at reducing TNA's 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.
