DIXIE CARTER ADDRESSES THE TROOPS DURING TALENT CONFERENCE CALL TODAY, ADDRESSES CREATIVE CHANGES

TNA held a conference call this afternoon with the TNA roster.  We are told by sources that during the call, Carter officially introduced Anthem's Ed Nordholm as a member of the Board of Managers for the company, stating that the Board will be guiding the company going forward.     

Carter praised the new relationship with Anthem Media, stating they have injected capital and resources into the company and will bring it to the next level.    Nordholm addressed the roster and praised them for their hard work and said that the new agreement will be a great opportunity for both TNA and The Fight Network. 

The idea of an over the top network utilizing TNA content was brought up.  It was also noted that the company is looking towards getting back on a touring schedule (I would assume this means for live events) as well as strengthening it's relationship with their India TV partner, Sony Six.

When asked about creative changes, Dixie Carter noted that Dave Lagana tendered his resignation last week and that Billy Corgan was no longer with the company.  She said that going forward, they would be going back towards a collaborative effort.  It was noted that the creative department current consists of John "Big" Gaburick. Matt Conway and Madison Rayne and they are looking to hire more people to add to that end of the company.

In a strange twist, an automated message noting that the call was being recorded was heard, leading to an abrupt end of the conference call.  

It was described to me as very much a "rah rah" call with Carter noting that since the locker room meeting they held on 10/3, a lot of things have changed within the company.
