This is a woman who DM's fans and meets them after shows and lets Tommy Boi's lass sit next to her. There's been loads of occasions she could have went for WWE and tried to get publicity taking the moral high ground. Stuff like this seems like that's in her nature. She's always seemed a nice women. Especially when it comes to fan interaction, and especially when it comes to kids. Say what you want about her business knowledge, but as a person she seems alright.

 

Also, you say "desperate" like thats a bad thing. The whole wrestling business is fucking desperate. Its a business built on Mr. T getting them appearances on talk shows in the mid-80s.

It's hardly surprising that Dixie done that. It's the lead up to their biggest show of the year, and Dixie having worked in PR prior to TNA, knew it'd get the right type of publicity, and likely a decent amount, in comparison to TNAs average.

It's all well & good, but didn't someone (possibly Daniels?) rip-up a sign on the way to the ring on Impact just last week? It's certainly happened within the last couple of weeks, and is a Bully Ray entrance mainstay.

It wasn't an 8 year old, though. If there was a 30 year old bloke who broke down and cried at a WWE event and his Mam kicked off about it, TMZ would probably have just went "fucking wrestling fans". The issue isn't about ripping up signs, because everyone does that. It was the fact a small child made the sign and Del Rio ripped it up and the kid got upset. Its not a major issue, but Del Rio should have had more sense there.

I think that's just Del Rio being a good heel. Time was, heels were so bad they'd be in danger of getting shot or knifed, now they practically have to carry a sign saying "not really bad".
