They’re The Ones: The Usos Become First Team Ever To Reach This WWE Milestone
Uncharted territory. Titles have been one of the most important parts of WWE history throughout the decades. A title reign helps define its specific era as it gives you a better idea of who the top stars in the company happen to be. That is the case with WWE today, and now a single title reign has reached a level that none like it ever has in the history of the promotion. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Again? WWE Hall Of Fame Teases Coming Out Of Retirement According to Fightful, as of Friday, the Usos have held the SmackDown Tag Team Titles for 600 days. This is the first time in the history of WWE that any Tag Team Title reign has reached this milestone. The previous record for any tag team title reign was Princess Victoria and Velvet McIntyre, who held the WWF Women’s Tag Team Titles for 572 days from 1983-1984. The Usos are also the Raw Tag Team Champions and have held the titles for 295 days. It has been a ride. Check out the Usos’ reign: [This post contains video, click to play] [T..

WATCH: Velveteen Dream Arrest Video Released
A serious situation. Wrestlers portray either heroes or villains in the ring, but that does not mean that they are the same way when the cameras stop rolling. You never know what you might be seeing behind the scenes, but every now and then, a glimpse comes through. Now we can see something else from a former wrestler in a serious situation and it is not the nicest thing. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Upgrade: Road Dogg Explains Changes Coming To NXT Call-Up System Back in August, former NXT star Velveteen Dream was arrested in Orlando, Florida on charges of first degree battery and trespassing.

Former WWE Star Gets Very Good Legal News
That’s a good step forward. Wrestlers are larger than life characters who are regularly on television doing things that no one else would ever do in regular life. That can make for some rather interesting moments, though that is not the end of what happens to them. There are several things that take place after the cameras stop rolling and now a former wrestler is getting some good news in his personal life. Last month, Patrick Clark, better known as Velveteen Dream, was arrested twice in the span of a week on various charges. However, according to PWInsider.com, the August 20 charges of First Degree Battery and Trespassing have been closed, as a hearing scheduled for September 28 has been canceled. Court records cited a lack of evidence in dropping the charges. Clark was recently released from a 25 day jail sentence for a probation violation stemming from the August 20 charges. Opinion: That is some good news for Clark, but he still has more than enough legal issues to worry about. ..

REVIEW: Halftime Heat 2019: Dusting Off The Classic
Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? Halftime Heat Date: February 3, 2019 Location: WWE Performance Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Shawn Michaels, Vic Joseph So since the four hours of content enough yesterday, we’ll take a look at this quick show here, which is comprised of one match from the NXT crew.

Velveteen Dream Wants To Return To NXT
I don’t know if I can see it happening. There have been a lot of wrestlers throughout WWE’s history and some of them have reached quite the prominent stature. At the same time, there are far more who are remembered well enough but never quite broke through. Then there are some who are more infamous than famous, and now one of them wants to have another chance. Former NXT star Velveteen Dream has posted to his Instagram Stories, saying that in spite of the allegations against him, he would love to have a career in NXT. Dream said that he was 26, talented and “ready to go the show what it should be”. Dream was released from WWE in May 2021 due to a series of backstage incidents. He was also accused of sexually harassing underage boys, though a WWE investigation found no wrongdoing. Dreamer has denied the allegations against him. Opinion: While Dream is one of the most talented stars to come up through the WWE system in a long time, the type of allegations against him are the kind that..

WWE Allegedly Considered Bringing Back Velveteen Dream (With Some Changes)
That would have been a way to go. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster over the years, it can be a little difficult for someone to stand out. That can be very tricky for someone on their best day but occasionally someone makes headlines for some less than ideal reasons. That was the case for a rather high profile NXT star, and WWE might have wanted to bring him back anyway. Back in April 2020, Velveteen Dream was accused of inappropriate sexual communication with underage people. WWE investigated the situation but found no evidence to prove the allegations, which Dream still denies. After missing several months due to injuries suffered in an automobile accident, Dream returned for a few months before being let go from the company in May 2021. Dream appeared on a recent edition of the Dishing Drama podcast and revealed that WWE considered bringing him back under a mask without having him speak. He did not make it clear when WWE considered doing this. Dream has not wrestled since h..

Fair Thee Well: Longtime Wrestling Couple Announces Split
They seem to be available. There are only a handful of wrestling relationships that tend to work long term. Sometimes you see a pair of wrestlers who can make a romantic relationship last, but the ones that do tend to make for some rather well known pairings. Now it seems that one of those pairings has called it quits after a good number of years together. Velvet Sky and Bully Ray have announced via Twitter that they have amicably agreed to split up.

VIDEO: Surprise Return Takes Place During AEW Rampage
Welcome back. AEW has shaken up the wrestling world and what makes things even more impressive is how fast they have done so. The promotion has not even been around for three years yet and its flagship TV show has not even hit its second anniversary. Despite this, the promotion has quite the history and someone from that history has made a surprise return. Jamie Hayter made her return to AEW at the end of this week’s edition of Rampage. Following Britt Baker’s successful defense of her AEW Women’s Title over Red Velvet, Kris Statlander attacked Baker. This drew out Hayter for the save to end the show. Hayter has not appeared in AEW in nearly two years and has only wrestled for AEW twice, including a loss to Baker in November 2019. It was a big return.

Velveteen Dream Booked For Return And Immediately Canceled
Dream off. Every now and then, a wrestler becomes far more infamous than famous. For one reason or another, something bad happens to someone and it becomes a lot bigger than whatever it is that they are going to be doing in the ring. Often times, this is something from outside of the ring, which was the case with a wrestler who almost got back in the ring. On Wednesday, SWF Wrestling announced that former NXT star the Velveteen Dream would be appearing at their September 11 Home Sweet Home event. Later in the same day, the promotion sent out another tweet saying that despite the promotion’s owner, Rob Fury, believing that any man can be slandered for something untrue, Dream will no longer be appearing at the show. Dream was released from WWE earlier this year, following a period of inactivity due to allegations of inappropriate contact with underage fans. WWE said that they had investigated Dream but found no evidence of any wrongdoing. While WWE did not find anything, Dream was rele..

WATCH: Shaquille O’Neal Ready For Dream Match In AEW
That would be a big one. Celebrities have made appearances in wrestling for decades now and that will always be the case. It is the kind of thing that makes all kinds of sense, as wrestling fans want to see what happens when an outsider comes into their world. If it is someone who has an athletic background of their own, it can be made even easier. That might be the case again, in a rather big way. During an interview with Pop Culture, Shaquille O’Neal talked about wanting to face AEW’s Paul Wight in a match at some point in the future. The match was hinted at in WWE in 2016 but never took place, reportedly due to WWE thinking O’Neal would not have taken it seriously enough. Since the, O’Neal has wrestled in a tag team match in AEW, teaming with Jade Cargill to face Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet in a losing effort on March 3. There has been no suggestion of such a match from AEW. O’Neal has some experience. Check out his time in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play] [Th..

More Details On Velveteen Dream, Backstage Issues Prior To Release
There is more to it than that. Every now and then you hear about someone in wrestling who has quite a bit of baggage with them. This could be anything from legal issues to personal issues to just not being liked backstage for one reason or another. One such wrestler was leg go from WWE earlier this week and now we know a bit more about what happened. Velveteen Dream was released from his NXT contract earlier this week, following a period of inactivity, as well as several sexual misconduct allegations. Since he was released, some stories have come out about his time in the company. According to Wrestling Observer Live, Dream had behavioral issues during his time in NXT, but due to Dream having friends higher up in NXT management, several wrestlers were worried about reporting them. It is likely that Dream was released for these issues, as Triple H said that investigations into the allegations turned up nothing. Dream had not appeared in NXT since December 2020.

New Grudge Match Set For NXT Takeover
The card keeps growing. We are just over a week away from NXT Takeover and that means things are starting to come together in a hurry. This time the show is going to be a little bit different though as there are only so many wrestlers available due to a Coronavirus outbreak. NXT still has a pretty deep bench though and some of them are going to be able to make the show. Two more of those names have been confirmed. One area where NXT tends to thrive is building up a feud in the midcard. They have figured out how to take people and a story with little business in a featured role and make it into something fans want to see. That has become a staple of Takeover and it is what we are likely to see again this time around. This one is in the form of a grudge match which has been built up over the last several weeks. WWE has announced that Kushida will meet the Velveteen Dream at Takeover on October 4. This comes after the two have traded attacks on each other, beginning with Dream attacking..

VIDEO: WWE Wrestler Undergoes Gimmick And Name Change
There’s the change. Sometimes in wrestling, including WWE, you need to change someone up. That could come in a variety of forms and some of them are better than others. One of the best ways might be to just change the wrestler’s name. The old name might not be one with the best reputation so just starting from scratch can help. If it is someone you don’t even recognize, it might be even better. While there is a good chance that you don’t regularly watch the show, 205 Live has been doing some nice things in recent weeks. The show basically started from scratch and is building things back up, which means that there are some spots available for fresh talent. One of them has been getting a little somewhere, and now he has appeared on NXT under a new name.

Backstage Heat On Velveteen Dream Over NXT Return
You had to know something like this was coming. The wrestling world is still dealing with the fallout from the SpeakingOut Movement, which shook up the industry in a big way. There were almost no companies without wrestlers being mentioned, with WWE certainly being included. One of the more prominent wrestlers has since returned to television, and it has not been going well. Earlier this week, the Velveteen Dream made his return to NXT in a surprise as the third entrant in a triple threat qualifying match for the Takeover: XXX North American Title ladder match. This was Dream’s first appearance since he was accused of sending sexual messages to underage people. While Dream was never charged with a crime, there was some rather convincing evidence against him. It was a big moment to have him come back, and fans are not pleased.

More Details On Velveteen Dream’s Car Accident
Things just keep getting worse. It has been a rough few months for WWE as one bad piece of news keeps coming in after another. First there was the Coronavirus pandemic and then SpeakOut started up, leaving WWE to take hit after hit. Both situations have far more important victims than WWE, and now one person involved nearly got himself in a lot more trouble all over again. One of the biggest WWE names to be mentioned in the SpeakOut movement has been the Velveteen Dream, who has been accused of having a variety of inappropriate conversations with minors. While nothing has been confirmed as of yet and WWE has not made any comment on the situation, it is not clear if Dream will be back on WWE television. It turns out that was almost the case for an entirely different reason. Over the weekend, Dream was involved in a car accident, requiring him to be hospitalized and released.
