Velveteen Dream: Orlando Jordan 2.0 or Everything Elijah Burke should have been?
- Thread starter Omar Little
- Start date
100% guaranteed to be a big deal on the main roster. You can build 15 minute talking segments around him, and most importantly he comes across like a star on TV. Even down to the way he moves during his entrance, it just seems completely natural and effortless for him to be charismatic.
Compare how he carries himself to someone like Tyler Breeze in NXT who had a somewhat comparable flamboyant narcissist gimmick. Breeze seemed like a normal guy playing an outlandish character... You never really bought it.
Velveteen Dream comes across like that's him in real life.
I only ever got that same feeling from the GOATs.
His in-ring is currently a little behind his character work, but you can see that all the talent is there to be a "best in the business" type worker if he keeps improving.
In summary: we're witnessing the ascent of one of the top guys in his generation.

A black man playing a fakkit... no wonder you marks love him so much 
He’s better than Jordan and Burke ever were
His comp is goldust wih less ring work they can fukk him up but it will take effort like they fukked up bray Wyatt

They will fukk him up breh. They always do. It’s sad because dude is oozing charisma (
) and is as athletically gifted as anyone in the WWE, but they will fukk him up when he gets called up

We Are NXT!
Neither, he's the Velveteen Dream. 
Maybe not burke but orlando jordan basically ended up doing a worse version of the same gimmick on tna

This sounds great and all, but on the main roster, the WWE will surely turn him into Orlando Jordan 2.0, and will be put in R-Truth like situations in no time. Better enjoy Dream in this current state while we still can.

Im curious to see how he does on the main roster
Like I can see him being buried cause Vince dont get the gimmick but I also think hes versatile enough to overcome everything they throw at him and hes young and came up mostly in the PC than the indies(though he did that) to know how their shyt works
