Dixie Carter on the Knockouts Division: We “Try to Let Their Athleticism Shine”

TNA President Dixie Carter recently spoke to Channel Guide Magazine to discuss, among other things, the Knockouts division and what sets it apart.

On how TNA having a female head affects how the women are portrayed, Dixie said:

“I think the fact that I’m a female head of a wrestling company gives me an extraordinary obligation to the women’s division. In the beginning, it was something I was hesitant about. My only introduction to women wrestling was something that I wouldn’t want to be a part of. I’m not saying we’ve done it right the entire time, but we have treated them with such tremendous respect.”

How the Knockouts are treated different from their counterparts:

“They’re a very, very important part of this company. I think they’re superior athletes just like the guys are. What we’ve done is try to let their athleticism shine. Instead of putting them out there for two minutes in a ridiculous match as eye candy, we have given them main events, putting them in a prominent place on the show, giving them a lot of time on the show, building their characters, and letting them be shown as the amazing, strong women that they are. I think that’s the difference.”
