Tommy Dreamer has denied reports that he is the new head of TNA Creative.
Fightful asked several sources who stated that TNA is “unchanged,” and creative is made up of Dreamer, Robert ‘RD’ Evans, and Hunter ‘Delirious’ Johnson.
The trio will now be supported by Gail Kim and Jorge Barbosa. Ariel Shnerer will oversee content and report directly to new President Anthony Cicione on all decisions about talent and creative.
Shnerer is the former General Manager of The Fight Network and helped launch TNA+. He currently manages Anthem distribution, including TNA’s deal with DAZN and distribution of TNA’s streaming channel on Pluto TV, Roku, and more.
Barbosa is Anthem’s senior producer and creator of the TNA Diary series.
Pwinsider is reporting that the original story is “100% incorrect,” in regards to Dreamer being part of the TNA creative.
Shnerer has the last word on creative decisions, and if there was a new head of creative, it would be him.
On today’s edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer said,
“I’m so glad people know things about my life that I don’t know. Everything is staying intact of how it was before with myself, Robert Evans, and Delirious. There are no changes. Purposely made sure that was a thing. Whoever reported about stuff in my life, thank you, but as someone who has been doing the same stuff the entire time I’ve been there, nothing has changed. Thanks for the promotion. I hope I get a raise. If I was head of creative, Moose is losing the title to me at the next show. Book myself on top, brother. It’s the same deal as before. Nothing has changed within the creative process.”
Tommy Dreamer Denies Reports of Being the New Head of TNA Creative
In recent news, professional wrestler Tommy Dreamer has denied reports claiming that he is the new head of TNA Creative. Fightful, a reliable source in the wrestling industry, reached out to several insiders who confirmed that TNA remains unchanged, with Dreamer, Robert ‘RD’ Evans, and Hunter ‘Delirious’ Johnson as the creative team.
To support this creative team, TNA has enlisted the expertise of Gail Kim and Jorge Barbosa. Ariel Shnerer, former General Manager of The Fight Network and instrumental in launching TNA+, will oversee content and report directly to the new President, Anthony Cicione, regarding talent and creative decisions.
Barbosa, Anthem’s senior producer and creator of the popular TNA Diary series, brings his creative prowess to enhance TNA’s offerings.
However, Pwinsider has reported that the initial story claiming Dreamer’s involvement in TNA Creative is “100% incorrect.” According to their sources, Shnerer holds the final say in creative decisions, making him the de facto head of creative. If there were any changes in this regard, it would be under Shnerer’s authority.
Dreamer himself addressed the rumors on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast. In his statement, he expressed amusement at people knowing things about his life that he himself was unaware of. Dreamer clarified that there have been no changes to the existing creative team, emphasizing that he, Evans, and Delirious continue to work together as before. He even humorously remarked that if he were indeed the head of creative, he would book himself to win the title from Moose at the next show.
Dreamer’s response highlights his commitment to his role within TNA Creative and dismisses any speculation about his new position. He appreciates the attention but affirms that nothing has changed in the creative process.
As the wrestling industry continues to evolve, it is essential to rely on accurate information from trusted sources. While rumors and speculations may circulate, it is crucial to hear directly from the individuals involved to get a clear understanding of the situation. In this case, Dreamer’s denial puts an end to the reports suggesting his new role within TNA Creative.
Fans of TNA can now rest assured that the creative team remains intact, ensuring the continuation of the exciting and engaging content they have come to love.
