       TNA President Dixie Carter, GFW's Jeff Jarrett and several TNA
       stars recently spoke with Sports Illustrated's Extra Mustard
       site. The full interview is at this link. Below are highlights:
       Dixie on TNA's status with Destination America:
       "The biggest challenge for us is building a brand in the U.S.
       That's where we need to grow. We're contracted to Destination
       America through the end of the year, and we are in discussions
       going on for 2016."
       Dixie on TNA's future:
       "TNA will continue exist, and on a level that far exceeds what
       we're currently doing. I'm looking ahead five years down the
       road, not a year down the road."
       Dixie on TNA creating competition and WWE:
       "Besides WWE, we're the only global promotion in the world.
       We're in over 120 countries worldwide and in 19 languages. We
       made a conscious decision about three years ago to take a step
       back and focus on young talent. We've had some of the biggest
       names ever on our show. People have given us a hard time about
       using WWE talent, but after a hot run with us, almost every one
       of them has worked with WWE again. That is a huge compliment for
       us.
       "I do feel we've taken some unfair blows. Competition, no matter
       who it is, is healthy. It's absolutely imperative for the
       industry to grow. There's a reason that there is a Lowe's on the
       corner of every Home Depot, and a Walgreens across from every
       CVS. It's important for the industry."
