Dixie Carter On Her Relationship With Hogan, Sting’s Retirement

During an interview with the UK’s Daily Star magazine to promote TNA’s upcoming Impact Taping from the Wembley Arena later this month, TNA President Dixie Carter revealed some interesting details on her relationship with Hulk Hogan and Sting’s plans for retirement this year. Here are some highlights of what Dixie said about:

Sting Retiring This Year & His Final UK Appearance:

“In his mind, I think this is his last year as far as the wrestling is concerned. When we booked this, that’s the way he was talking about it – ‘I haven’t played there in a decade, and before I retire I need to come back there and wrestle.’ Based on where he’s at and what he’s saying, barring something extraordinary this is the last time.”

“And for me it’s great to be able to bring him back there. He’s spent such a big part of his career helping to build our company, I’m very proud we can bring him over. It feels very final. It’s going to be an emotional night.”

Her Relationship With Hulk Hogan:

“The truth is I haven’t heard from Hulk in a while. He knows what’s going on – he’s a businessman, and he knows that it’s an important date for us. He will be eyeing that very carefully. He’s been gone from the scene. My goal would be to have him there. You’ll be the first to know if he is.”
