Dani Jordyn, Kennedi Hardcastle, More Share Claims of Past Incidents With Tommy Dreamer

As previously reported, Tommy Dreamer parted ways with TNA Wrestling last week, exiting from his role as the company’s creative lead. Since his exit, multiple wrestlers have shared comments on social media, alleging past negative incidents involving Dreamer.

Kennedi Hardcastle initially wrote, “Hol’ up are we sharing our Tommy Dreamer stories bc one time I told him I really wanted to take a cane shot in a match, and he told me he doesn’t do that with women, so instead we did a spanking spot bc women amirite.”

Hardcastle later shared a photo of the spanking spot in question, which can be viewed HERE. She wrote in the caption, “Omg I can’t believe I just found the photo of it too.”

Dani Jordyn later responded, writing, “I’ve been waiting for this – One time Tommy Dreamer insisted on doing a crotch grab spot, to me, in a tag match he was a fill-in for. This had NO place in our storyline. But he didn’t care to ask. I did not want to do this, said how uncomfortable I was, but I’m just woman, right.”

In a post that was later deleted, wrestler Carlie Bravo claimed that Dreamer wouldn’t hire him because “he didn’t know if he could market ‘cocky black guy’ to the world.” Bravo wrote (h/t Fightful), “He told me I was very talented but couldn’t hire me cuz ‘he didn’t know if he could market ‘cocky black guy’ to the world’. Needless to say, I’m on top of the game and never changed one bit. Run it up. **** what anybody else says.”

In a series of tweets, wrestling referee Perch also shared details of a behind-the-scenes incident involving Tommy Dreamer. Perch revealed that Dreamer once pulled him aside and said he’d do everything to make sure that Perch would never get a job in wrestling.

Perch wrote, “Tommy Dreamer pulled me aside backstage at a TNA show, telling me he would do everything he could to make sure I don’t earn a job in the wrestling business. All I did was try to learn and grow from experiences, though his words were very discouraging for a young student to hear.”

He continued, “I didn’t set out to prove him wrong, I simply thanked him for their advice and went another direction. The pro wrestling business is for everybody, you just have to find where you fit in best. Don’t perform just for someone else’s ideal vision, perform out of your own passion!!” he later added, “Take critique like a professional and thank them for their time. However, don’t allow someone to coerce you. Share your burning desire to succeed in the pro wrestling business with others who appreciate you! This is a community, not a tyranny.”

I’ve been waiting for this – One time Tommy dreamer insisted on doing a crotch grab spot, to me, in a tag match he was a fill in for. This had NO place in our story line. But he didn’t care to ask. I did not want to do this, said how uncomfortable I was, but I’m just woman, right https://t.co/eeykFpSfog
