TNA president Dixie Carter announced during tonight's "Bound for Glory Kick-off show" on TNA's website that the "big change" she has been advertising on Twitter will be revealed on the October 7 live Impact.

Carter described the "change" as progressive. "It's not a surprise. A lot of people say, 'Oh, she always says there's a big surprise and then there's not a surprise.' I've never said this is a surprise. I said it's a change," Carter told Jeremy Borash in a Q&A session. "So, on 10/7, that's when we'll start to unveil this change. There will be even more."

Carter was asked later in the Q&A session what she would change about TNA if she had a magic wand and unlimited budget. Carter replied, "Do what I'm going to do on 10/7, but do it even bigger."

Regarding the Tweets this summer where she hinted at "something that will change TNA forever," Carter admitted that perhaps she didn't think that through when she posted that she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

"I sent out a Tweet and I didn't think anything about it," she said. "I was like, 'Wow, I didn't really think that one through, did I?'"

-- Also during the interview, Carter revealed that a "talent TNA wanted two years ago" put out a feeler to see if there was interest on TNA's part. Carter said the company essentially turned the person down.

"This is true. There was a talent that we wanted very much a couple of years ago and pursued hard," Carter said. "I got a phone call a couple of days ago saying, 'You know, this person might be interested in coming to TNA.' And I go, 'I don't think we need him, but thank you, though, for thinking of us.' And it was just so interesting to me to go from so - I won't use the word desperate - but it was important that we had bigger stars to build around."

Caldwell's Analysis: TNA's payroll is also bloated after adding plenty of financial commitments in 2010 that have taken away some of TNA's flexibility to bring on more big-name talent. She also talked about TNA having one of the top rosters to where they don't need to add more big-name stars, which is true, but the payroll issue is likely also a big factor.

-- Carter also discussed subjects ranging from her favorite recent matches to believing the Impact shows this year have been "so much more solid this year than in our history."

Carter put over the fifth match in the Motor City Machineguns vs. Beer Money series as one of her favorite tag matches in recent history and also talked up the Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy match at No Surrender.

-- Throughout the interview, Carter drifted in and out of "storyline mode" answering questions including RVD being written off TV, Ric Flair's promos on her, and TNA "running out of PPV time" leading to the No Decision on Angle vs. Hardy.

-- TNA Impact and Reaction were pre-empted on Spike TV with the NFL opening the regular season tonight. The next episodes will air on Thursday, September 16.

TNA announced tonight for next week's Impact the first interview with Rob Van Dam since he was written off TV and Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy in a match to determine who faces Mr. Anderson for the vacant TNA Title at Bound for Glory.
