David Bixenspan, a former WWE announcer, has tweeted a leaked email from 2006 between Vince Russo and Dixie Carter in which Russo is pushing for TNA to feature an “attractive, sexy, female executive” character to make the show more “hip” and product more relevant.
Russo also pushes from Jim Cornette’s removal from television — not surprise considering the long-standing beef between the pair — citing that Cornette is too old school and conflicting with the company’s edgier elements. Below is the leak:

Worth pointing out Dixie filed an affidavit in the Konnan case to keep emails from being discoverable.
