Dixie Carter Told Taeler Hendrix That She Was ‘Heavy For TV’

In a recent interview with The Greg DeMarco Show, Taeler Hendrix addressed her TNA release, the latest feedback from Dixie Carter, her thoughts on some current Knockouts, the mood in OVW, her upcoming return to Shine Wrestling, her most recent cancer scare and much more.

On her release from TNA: It was kind of a whirlwind ... a long time in the making … I was super-duper unhappy ... the All-American Dream ... BAM! Hit in the face! It's not happening girl, wake up! I got papers in the mail to re-sign for another year in developmental at OVW for TNA … Before I could tell them that I wouldn't re-sign, I got the call the day before my contract expired to tell me I was released. ... Maybe they can use that spot for someone they actually know what they want to do with. ... I'm not offended—I'm a lot happier.

On if the mood in OVW has changed since the recent releases: Yes, actually. Now that I'm not signed anymore, I think I'm enjoying it more—from an OVW standpoint. ... It's home… There's wrestling every single week, you can't get more work than that. ... I am loving my character right now, she's awesome. ... She's like that girl we all hated in high school. ... A lot of people who were released, they're gone.

On Dixie Carter: I do have my qualms. Don't tell me on my birthday that I'm "heavy" to be on TV. ... I'm a size 3, that's not fat at all! ... I'm a role model for young girls, there's nothing plastic about me. ... (On her size a year prior) I was too skinny! ... I got really skinny just to get on television. ... Someone said I looked like a skeleton, and then I started looking at my pictures and I was like "Oh my God, I really do!"... I'm taller than [most female wrestlers] but I'm not bigger than them.

On her latest cancer scare: On top of that, my cancer stuff came back. ... I had no choice to gain weight, and I'm really happy that I did. ... What I'm battling right now is cervical cancer—and when I say battling I mean I'm trying to not get it. ... I wasn't setting a good example. … I felt like I was a hypocrite. ... I would rather be healthy and stay cancer free.

On Velvet Sky: She has found a way to stick it out ... and she was released at one point. ... Velvet Sky is money. ... And if I have someone who makes me money, I'm going to keep them around. ... She's not the best wrestler in the world, but neither am I. ... She makes money. ... Velvet Sky has some of the most loyal fans in the world. ... She has a great personality, in ring and out. ... And you know what? She's gotten much better. ... I'm a fan—she can keep letting the pigeons loose. ... That girl's a hot commodity.

If this is true I am gonna be honest Dixie got no right to be in wrestling at all. I mean that's just low and disrespectful

She isn't fat at all.

Dixie is a stupid twat...

Taeler Hendrix is now saying that Dixie Carter never called her too heavy for television. According to her, someone working for TNA backstage did make a comment about her weight, but it wasn't the TNA President. She noted that she saw how it was taken since it came out right after she mentioned Dixie, but it was a different TNA personnel who remains unnamed.

Original interviewer Greg DeMarco also took to twitter to clarify the supposed statements

Clarification: @taeler_Hendrix's "heavy for TV" comment was not direct from Dixie. It's placement after the Dixie question caused confusion.

I have liked Taeler for several years. I think she is incredibly talented. Best wrestler in the world, not a chance. But she is solid. She has been through so much and deserves so much better than what happened to her at TNA.

Well now that it wasn't Dixie who said that I'll take back her being a stupid twat for saying that.

Having said that she still is one for all the other stupid shit she does..

that's messed up, she didn't look fat at all.

Funny how all of a sudden all these wrestlers are claiming this and that wasnt said. Theyre just doing that so they can save face and hope to get rehired one day.

Whether true or not, I honestly don't see Dixie as the type to say something like that. She always seems to really have praise and support for the knockouts.
