Dixie Carter Issues TNA Statement, Another New WWE Talent

Mike Johnson is reporting that WWE has signed Silas Young to a developmental contract. Young has been training in Ohio Valley Wrestling where he gained the attention of company scouts.

TNA posted the following message from President Dixie Carter on its website last night: 2007 has been a great year for TNA. Your amazing support for this company has brought success that no critic thought would ever happen. The New Year will bring many exciting things to TNA such as the launch of our first video game (which I promise will be the greatest wrestling game ever released) and hitting the road more than ever to bring you the best in-ring action in the world. During this holiday season, I just wanted to let each of you know how blessed we feel to have the best fans in the wrestling industry. So from myself and all of our talent and staff, we hope you have a wonderful holiday and a happy and healthy New Year. Here's to a great 2008! I look forward to meeting more of you in the coming year. All the best, Dixie Carter
