An update on creative changes coming to TNA Wrestling following the departure of Tommy Dreamer.

Earlier today, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that following Dreamer’s exit, the Vice President of TV Production, Eric Tompkins, will be “working hand-in-hand with Hunter ‘Delirious’ Johnston. Johnson cited a source in the know of things as claiming that Tompkins and Johnston will be the co-heads of the creative team. However, he added that he could not confirm the development.

The report adds that there has been a buzz about TNA bringing others on board to handle creative, but nothing is confirmed as of this writing.

As previously reported, Tommy Dreamer announced his departure from TNA Wrestling during an appearance on Busted Open Radio last week. Apart from being a backstage producer and talent relations executive, Dreamer was the head of creative.

Following his departure, Fightful Select reported that several talents were unhappy with Dreamer’s booking. There have also been reports of TNA roping in former WWE SmackDown lead writer Brian “Road Dogg” James as the ECW legend’s replacement.
