I used to think Velveteen Dream was the future, but I can't stand the sight of him. Despite everything, WWE brings him back and puts him in a high position. The wrestlers soured on him, the fans soured on him, and the evidence continues to mount. Just let the man go. #FireDream

I have stopped watching #WWENXT . I'll enjoy it once Velveteen Dream enjoys a foot long in jail.

The fact that WWE is straight up ignoring this Velveteen Dream situation & continuing to push him even tho the fans are against him is really fucking sad & it shows how ignorant the company is.
