TNA Impact Wrestling Report: Countdown to Glory

Dixie Carter, The Champion and His Challenger
Carter says despite being the unbendable, unbreakable, unpinned, un-submitted, undisputed, undefeated World Heavyweight Champion, he’s not in a very good mood – because no one’s talking about the him, rather they’re clamoring about his challenger, Drew Galloway.
Carter calls out Dixie Carter for being one of Galloway’s most prolific supporters.
Dixie tells EC3 he’s been a great champion in the ring, but outside the ring, he’s been an embarrassment. Dixie reminds EC3 why he wasn’t selected for Team TNA, because he’d made it clear he wanted no part of TNA vs. GFW.
Carter addresses Galloway by saying that Galloway’s time for self-worship is coming to an end.
