Sup folks

It's Dixie's family's cash financing the thing, of course she's hyper focused on getting involved.

I thought it was a public company?

Nope. Private company. Dixie's father's business, Panda Energy, owns a controlling stake in TNA.

[milkman]

Oh, typically private companies don't refer to having a board to answer to. Then yeah, she can drive it inot the ground as far as daddy let's her!!

Let me look it up.

[Chob]

It's an LLC.

In October 2002, Panda Energy purchased a controlling interest (72%) of the Nashville, Tennessee-based professional wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from founder and CEO Jerry Jarrett.The seemingly unlikely acquisition came about after Dixie Carter, the daughter of Robert W. Carter and a TNA publicist, contacted her father and persuaded him to purchase the company (which was facing bankruptcy after a major financial backer withdrew their support).

On October 31, 2002, Panda Energy created the limited liability company TNA Entertainment in order to administer TNA. While Jeff Jarrett, the former President of TNA, was appointed Vice President, the majority of other management positions were filled by former Panda executives. Chris Sobol, the Panda Manager of Business Development, was appointed Vice President of Operations, and Frank Dickerson (and later Kevin Day) was appointed chief executive officer, while Dixie Carter was made President.
