Dixie Carter Says Wrestling Is First And Foremost A Business
Continuing, Dixie addressed Mr. PEC-Tacular specifically, saying that while he’s impressive, the real stock lies in her nephew Ethan Carter III.
“Now, Jessie, I know you pride yourself on being a great marketer. I’ve always applauded that in you. But as you know, it’s the brand that counts darlin’, and the brand that has stock, the brand that is over, and the brand that is World Champion is EC3. And he’s got some big news to share with all of you that I know will not only benefit you or benefit the business, because as I taught him, this is first and foremost a business.
“So E, again, congratulations. I’m so incredibly proud of you. And Jessie, I hope you take that marketing brain of yours and make the right decision, because all eyes will be on OVW right now. And of course, EC3, because he’s a Carter, and the world needs us.”
