A new report offers a counter to Tommy Dreamer’s take on his recent TNA departure, with the company’s side of the story now emerging.

The expectation among those sources is that the culture will change for the better moving forward.
The report stands in contrast to how Dreamer framed his own departure. Announcing the news on Busted Open Radio on June 17, an emotional Dreamer said he and TNA had “mutually agreed to part ways,” stressing that he held no ill will and wanted the company to succeed. TNA’s official statement described the move as part of a broader “workforce reduction.”

Fightful Select reported that, while Dreamer was well-liked by many, his creative ideas had faced criticism from several TNA talents in recent years. At the same time, names like Matt Hardy and Nic Nemeth publicly praised Dreamer as both an agent and a person following his departure.
