Dani Jordyn & Kennedi Copeland Accuses Tommy Dreamer of Inappropriate Misconduct Towards Them, Missy Hyatt Defends Dreamer, GCW Owner Says Dreamer “Didn’t Evolve With The Times” But “Means Well”

As noted before, indies referee Perch and AEW and ROH talent Carlie Bravo recently accused former TNA Head of Talent Relations and booker Tommy Dreamer of making disparaging and racist-like comments towards them during their times in Impact/TNA Wrestling.

Indies wrestler Kennedi Copeland stated this past Friday on Twitter that Dreamer allegedly committed inappropriate conduct towards her during a match they had in the indies in the past. Copeland claimed that she had asked Dreamer if he could do a kendo stick spot to her during their match only for Dreamer to say he does not do that to women. Copeland continued stating that Dreamer insisted that they do a spanking spot with him spanking her rear end.

“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”

In response to a question by someone, Copeland stated that the reason why she did not refuse the spot was due to her being very early into her wrestling career and she did not know if she could say no to a veteran.

“Because I was young and dumb and impressionable and a people pleaser and still very new in wrestling and didn’t know I could say no especially to a vet because I was always told, “If you really want it, you’d do anything for it.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

AEW enhancement and indies talent Dani Jordyn also claimed that Dreamer insisted on doing a crotch grab spot during their tag team match despite her being uncomfortable with the idea and it making no sense to do for her storyline at the time.

“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”

In a follow-up tweet, Jordyn stated that she was also very new into her wrestling career when this incident took place and should have succumbed to peer pressure to do the spot.

“I was new in my career, should’ve trusted my intuition, said a firm no, and not succumb to peer pressure for this spot. This is the only thing that’s happened in my career that felt degrading bc I vowed to never let a MF try me on some uncomfortable shit EVER again”

There was. And I’d love to share that one day with you – But first I need you to view this with the perspective of a young girl, new to this industry, with everyone telling you this guy has a name and you should do it cause it’s good for your name.

In response to the recent allegations made by others, former wrestler and valet Missy Hyatt defended Dreamer on Twitter stating that he always treated her cordial and professionally and brought up how he had helped others throughout their careers.

“I seen some disparaging comments about @THETOMMYDREAMER online.

My interactions with dreamer have always been cordial & professional. I have nothing bad to say about him.

These are the things i witnessed that tommy did for others.

He recommended try outs & jobs for so much indy talent when he worked for ecw, wwe, & tna. I guess he’s confident in his own spot & didnt feel threatened like so many that someone could steal his spot.

He helped so many put together matches by emphasizing their strengths.

He would call wwe wellness to help troubled souls find help before it was too late.

Tna’s loss and an asset to any company and lockeroom.“

Game Changer Wrestling owner and promoter Brett Lauderdale also gave his thoughts on Twitter about the recent allegations against Dreamer and stated that Dreamer was someone who “didn’t evolve with the times” in the pro wrestling business but he “means well.” Lauderdale also defended Perch stating that he knows Perch is not someone who is a liar and how the wrestling business needs more people like him.

“I think one thing people forget is that tommy dreamer is an *ecw guy* and he comes from a different era.

The antics that many consider to be inappropriate (or worse) today are the very same that made him (and ecw) so cool and universally celebrated/romanticized in the 90s

Ive always known tommy to be a decent and gracious person. I think his greatest flaw is probably that he didnt evolve with the times. But its not hard to understand why… everywhere he goes to this day people chant ‘ecw ecw ecw’ at him. its hard to leave that behind…

Tommys always been blunt & honest (to a fault) and uses language that isnt always thoughtful or sensitive but he means well & hes helped advance alot of peoples careers

As for the interaction w perch, idk if it did or didnt happen but the last thing i know perch to be is a liar-

Hopefully it was just a misunderstanding and one day they can talk and mend fences.

We need more people like Dan Perch in the wrestling business.”
