TNA Disputes Tommy Dreamer’s Claims, Sources Expect Culture to Improve After Exit

Tommy Dreamer and TNA appear to be at odds over the company’s direction following his departure, which he said was a mutual decision with TNA president Carlos Silva. On the June 22 edition of Busted Open Radio Dreamer said he tried to build a culture at the company and warned things will “change” now that he’s gone, claiming he had specific booking plans — including elevating M by Elegance and decisions around Mike Santana and Slammiversary — that he believes won’t come to fruition without him.

A report from False Finish, however, cites multiple TNA insiders who strongly refute Dreamer’s comments, alleging he controlled pushes and resisted building new contenders, and that the creative needed a shake-up as TNA moves to a larger platform on AMC. Those inside the company also dispute Dreamer’s claim that Santana’s Slammiversary non-win drove attendance, pointing instead to nostalgia for a high-profile retirement match as the main ticket driver.
