Dreamer slams TNA exec

[Cloud]

All this proves is Dreamer is a genius promoter lol. TNA stars appearing in a show and build up that in a way devalues the company lol.

From Pwinsider:

"For those who have asked whether the House of Hardcore announcement that Bully Ray was pulled was chapter one of some sort of inter-promotional angle, that is not the case. Tommy Dreamer was informed that Bully Ray had been pulled from the weekend at the last minute. Since Ray was working the shows as part of the deal where Dreamer's HOH helped TNA fill the house when they ran a One Night Only taping in Poughkeepsie, obviously he wasn't thrilled about having to change a main event that had been advertised for some time. When Dreamer cut the promo on Friday about Dixie Carter, he specifically noted it was not part of the show and was only for the live fans in attendance. Obviously he was making Carter and TNA the heels in an attempt to pop the live crowd (which worked big-time, as it was one of the biggest reactions of the night) but for those who were asking if this was chapter one of a planned angle or storyline that would bleed over to TNA TV, that was not the case when Dreamer went to the ring. Dreamer is still, as of this writing, working as an agent for TNA. The Bully Ray offer to meet any fans who had a HOH ticket stub at any of the upcoming TNA events in PA or NY was something Ray, not TNA, offered, although TNA had to approve it. But, none of this was any grand planned angle."

Seems like the classical real life event turned into mini-angle.

For those interested both events drew about 1.300-1.500 people, with less on the Friday show which was expected as they experimented with running a Friday card.

Tommy Dreamer official statement. Tommy breaks it down ver honestly on Facebook:

"I never wanted a publicist I don't feel the need. So here is my OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

In today's society with social media being the way it is I laugh every time a celebrity says something that is not poltically correct and they apologize for it. The only reason why they apologize is because they got caught or it could hurt their image.

The wrestling community is all abuzz over my recent House of Hardcore events. It was so much work, but so happy it worked out for me, the wrestlers & importantly the fans.

The biggest controversy is Bully Ray being pulled from my show. Here is how it all went down. I have 1 of my best friends calling me & saying. "I can't believe I have to even make this call." Bubba tells me TNA is pulling me from your show. I have to do an apperance for them in LA. I say ok. I had no apperance contracts like I've had in the past. I put my thinking cap on & I remembered so many times in the original ECW stuff like this happened before.

In doing my best Paul Heyman, I didn't lie to my audience. I gave the fans 2 matches told them they can leave now get those 2 matches for free & get a refund but if they stayed I had surprises & promised a solid show. I advertised a Main Event & didnt have 1 player I felt it was the right thing to do.It worked out in the end maybe better than I had hoped for. Not 1 person left.

I also told the audience this part of show won't be on DVD it was just for them. It was. I did call Dixie Carter a b*tch & I'm not apologizing for it.(the crowd said way worse things about her) It was a bad buisness move. Which I see being made all the time.

I am all buisness. I have helped TNA wrestling before & did very good buisness for them drawing 3 times the amount of people from the last show they did at Mid-Hudson Civic Center from something I put together at HOH 3.

To TNA's credit, John Gaburick Head of Talent Relations, who has always been straight with me, offered to help anyway possible. I at first wanted Bobby Roode and Eric Young. They both agreed to help even though they had personal stuff, then I just went with my gut(no fat jokes)

Bully Ray & I came up with the idea if any fan that bought an HOH ticket & brings it to the TNA upcoming TVs in PA or NY he will have a free meet and greet, because he feels like sh*t & wants to make good. TNA agreed which is just good buisness for both.

I turned a negative into a positive. (That's what I do) It benefits HOH TNA & importantly the wrestling fans. I help out behind the scenes in TNA. I'm not under contract, I don't know if I will be brought back & if not that's OK. I will continue to support Impact Wrestling. I love the men & women there & want their buisness to grow.

If WWE, ROH or any indy asks me to help, I would do the same. I love wrestling & just want to see it continue to strive & get better. I am a 43yr old man & don't need to take people's petty issues, especially if something effects my own shows & hard work. I have an issue with that & I will voice my opinion.

I feel there are way too many hypocrites that only voice their grievences after the company stops paying them. To me that is just BS.

My House of Hardcore slogan is "No Politics No BS JUST WRESTLING" - I strive to continue to have that in my locker room & with the paying customers. Hardcore is a strong work ethic.

So when people talk about what's going on go or start rumors direct them here or my Twitter. Thanks and look forward to continued progress this Sat HOH 6 West Coast Invasion houseofhardcore.net."

@Stopspot workkkkkkkkk bro. I guess they are turning the little beef into a big storyline.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Pretty big beef if you ask me, how many of those people do you think honestly bought tickets to see one of the biggest names in wrestling atm. I know bully would go back to WWE and midcard but he is top 3 easily in TNA and the wrestling world atm. If WWE went to long island with bully in the midcard the place would blow the fuck up, no terrorism necessary.

Tommy Dreamer is an Indy legend, but he shouldn't be telling any exec hot to do anything.
For all intents and purposes Dreamer is learning on the fly to be a successful promoter, this is enough in and of itself.
Unless this is a work (and it is), keep your mouth shut and learn to be a better businessman like 99% of the rest of the world
