I just read a report that Paul E ain't comin' in. He wants to take total control of the company from a creative and roster stand point. He told Dixie to get rid of all the old guys and she can only keep 1 or 2 of them and that he wants Vince Russo gone from the company and Dixie won't budge on none of his demands.
Some don't realize when they say Paul E killed ECW; but the fact was he only killed it from a financial stand point. He was a beast on the creative end and made sugar out of shit. It's not like Paul E is asking for the financial ledge of TNA as well. He's seen what needs to be done from a creative POV and the roster moves to make TNA relevant and Dixie doesn't know any better to just bring him in or she has someone in her ear telling her to reject his proposals.
Instead of Dixie hiring free agent talent that won't help the product and ratings increase, she needs to hire Paul E to fix all that then she can start bringing in the talent.
