Credit: PWInsider.com
Following the suspension of Dixie Carter's @TNADixie Twitter account, a fan created a fake @TNA_Dixie account. One of the messages was:
"@HulkHogan4Real Terry i'm back on twitter now"
Hogan actually re-tweeted this without verifying first that it was a real account. The @TNA_Dixie is confirmed to be a fake and the real Dixie Carter is expected to be back on Twitter soon.

Notes From TNA’s House Show In Fargo, ND
Credit: John Smith and Pwinsider.com
First, I'm not a TNA fan, I never much liked the TV show and quit watching when they hired Bischoff and Hogan. However, I could not believe how great of a live event they had tonight. All the wrestlers worked hard on this event, and I can only say that for about half of the wrestlers when WWE came to town last year. They interacted well with the fans, and I was impressed at how well they performed.
