| 1 | 12.05.2025 | danzgalliwag | 10.0 | Velveteen Dream was maybe the most well-adapted talent on the NXT roster in his prime. In only his early twenties, he made more progress faster and with better results than most WWE signings do in ten years. He had several overlooked Takeover classics against guys like Black, Gargano, Ciampa, and Ricochet. His promos had the eloquence of an R&B album, and while you may not have believed in his words, you believed in him, the character, the "Dream." Being the most flamboyant personality among a litter of serious wrestlers, his uniqueness set him apart from the rest of the black-and-gold brand. When he was fired in 2021, it didn't make any sense to me. They didn't conclude anything from the investigation. He was released due to a poorly timed bit of hearsay that hastily turned into a wasteful save of face. Even if he was once a young gun who thought he had it all figured out, CLEARLY he's had his head checked by now. If the Dream returned to NXT tomorrow, the place where he made his name and proved he could hang with the best in the world, I fully believe that fans would welcome him back with open arms. The price he has had to pay for something so stupid simply because enough stupid people were fooled is worth its weight in velvet. Unfortunately, I see a long road ahead of the man now known as TAFKA Velveteen Dream. Here's hoping he's able to get the attention of somebody from a major company soon. Hell, DPW, reach OUT, boys.... |

Man made a 80-90s gimmick that wouldn't work today over ... mark my words Patrick will return and there's nothing yall can do but cry about it |

| 6 | 29.03.2025 | Spireal | 0.0 | Zero points for being a horrible person that never tried to make amends even when he came back in the spotlight and actually tried to go back into wrestling. I will say that even if we forget all of this (and nobody should at this point), I found him a but underwhelming in NXT. He put a breath of fresh air in NXT, totally lived his gimmick (which aged horribly with this new context) and had great qualities to make it as a WWE wrestler. However, to me he was synonymous of a post golden-age in NXT when main event matches were becoming parodies of themselves with unwarrented "epicness" and so many nearfalls that they didn't mean anything anymore. So yeah, great potential, but wasn't there back then, so it would have been a 6 out of 10. And again, he's still a despicable human being. |
| 7 | 23.03.2025 | Keithnelson18 | 3.0 | Bro, this guy is really hard to rank these days. If this was between 2018-2019, maybe I'd give this guy a 8 or 9, but with recent real life event that's happened, this guy really screwed up career. The fans loved him, he was a great gimmick, & he had great matches. Velveteen Dream had it all, he could've possibly held the NXT title, had more great matches, and even get called up to the main roster to improve, but then one day, all of those great things vanished and Dreams career came crashing down, and he was never able to recover from it. |

| 15 | 06.10.2024 | TripleCrown | 5.0 | In my opinion, it would be unfair to rate him higher than 5 given his very short tenure in professional wrestling, despite the fact he was seen as a possible future star for the WWE. He had a great gimmick that people loved, and would have no doubt imporved on that and become even better. In-ring he was good, especially for a guy that had only been in the business for a few years. Had boatloads of potential, but real life got in the way of his professional wrestling career. Not going to go into a deep dive about what happened, but obviously it lead to him leaving the WWE and just becoming nothing. A lot of wasted potential, who knows what the future will hold for him. |

| 22 | 03.06.2024 | dude094u7 | | The Velveteen Dream had potential, and still could do something on a smaller scale. I would've liked to see where his career went had those allegations never come to fruition. The likelihood is that his ego would've been his downfall, evident with some WWE personnel celebrating his release from the company. Throughout this 'rating', I will call him by his original name; Patrick Clark. As a wrestler, Patrick Clark was never much to write home about. He was not as bad as some people would have you believe, but he was no Bret Hart as a pure wrestler nor a Shawn Michaels as a flashy showboat. He was above average in skill. Solid enough to pull through a decent match, not good enough to wrestle a broom to a memorable bout. Where Patrick excelled was in his natural charisma. Even in his early character, he managed to make himself an attraction. This is rare, especially for someone so green to the business. After a few tweaks, he had *the* character - The Velveteen Dream. It is at this point that Patrick Clark has made himself a 'superstar', a wrestler tailormade for American television wrestling. His most memorable feud, to me anyway, is the little feud he had with Aleister Black (Malakai Black). The simplicity of the feud, saying one's name, was immaculate. Not everybody needs a bloody rivalry, or something stupidly boring like, "I'm better than you! " It's a feud that helped bring more to his character, and officially cemented him as a "tweener". To run this 'rating' short, I would give Patrick Clark a 7/10. Really good and could, if given the chance, do something in the future. |

| 28 | 06.05.2024 | Nard190 | 9.0 | Velveteen Dream is one of the truly sad stories in pro wrestling. He had all the potential in the world. He had IT. The spark. The talent. The charisma and the character. And then he messed up and had some bad allegations that were "cleared" (by a company known for brushing things of that nature under the carpet, causing extreme doubt in fans minds) and went on a downward spiral of drugs and legal issues. One of the single biggest stories of wasted potential in wrestling history. |

| 34 | 05.02.2024 | Sonicyouthenjoyer | | Man literally had GOAT potential and pissed it all away by being a drug addicted dickhead. At least he cleared his name of the pedo allegations I suppose. Wouldn't be apposed to him having a hbk 2002 type comeback if he's truly changed. 3/10. |

| 50 | 31.05.2023 | Dancer | | Not going to rate Dream. He was by leaps and bounds my favorite part of NXT when he was at there. His match with Aleister Black is one of my favorite ever matches, and he could kill in the ring. It is a damn shame that he's an alleged creep. It is such a fucking shame. |

| 53 | 29.04.2023 | DanTalksRasslin | 7.0 | The sky was the absolute limit for Velveteen Dream. He excelled in his character work, playing a provocative Prince-esque heel with a good look and a great deal of charisma, with even some shades of Rick Rude in the ways he would use his promos and attire to get under his opponents' skin. His ring work was also solid and improving. The only person that would get in the way of his status as a future superstar, it turned out, was himself, as allegations of sending pictures he shouldn't have to people he shouldn't have, as well as general accusations of being hard to deal with backstage and other legal issues, would ultimately lead to the abrupt end of his wrestling career just as he was on the verge of breakthrough success. What a colossal waste. |

His match with Black was amazing, he took A lot of big bumps during the ladder matches he was in. He was the future and even John Cena wanted to wrestle him, until he ruined all of that. Still was incredible though, just A horrible person. |

| 78 | 06.02.2022 | WhatIsLooveee | 8.0 | Dream was one of the most memorable characters of the black and gold NXT era. At first, his metrosexual gimmick was ridiculed and predicted a failure for wrestler. But he was able to declare himself. An interesting versatile character, great storytelling in matches and even overselling looked auitable for his extraordinary gimmick. After injury, he became a faded version of himself, and after unpleasant details from the Dream's past were revealed, his career was completely destroyed. But based on what I saw, he was a talented entertainer and had every chance of becoming a successful grown-up star in WWE. But everything turned out differently. Alas. |

| 82 | 12.12.2021 | NoSell | | Based on the actual stuff that makes a wrestling performer he was fantastic. Incredible character work, got massively over around late 2018 early 2019, won the NA championship, had one of my favorite Takeover matches vs Riddle in NY and was certainly destined for greatness. But of course, he decided sending nudes to minors was cool so he will never wrestle on TV or in well known indie promotions ever again. A shame, but that's what he gets. |
| 83 | 11.12.2021 | LivingLegend | 0.0 | Velveteen Dream's fall from grace is a very unfortunate one. Had he not been a creepy pedophile, he probably would have been a champion on the main roster.
