Controversial Former WWE Superstar Velveteen Dream Makes In-Ring Return After 3 Years

Retirement or parting ways is a myth for the ardent pro wrestling stars. Something runs in their blood that keeps bringing them back to the basic, the squared circle. Now the turn is for Velveteen Dream aka Patrick Clark to resume his in-ring endeavors three years after a controversial WWE firing.

To everyone’s pleasant surprise, Velveteen has dipped his feet into the pro wrestling world again, showing up at the Dynasty event in Albany, New York on Saturday.

He appeared and launched a massive interruption in the opening match, throwing a straight challenge. In the main event of the show, Dream’s open challenge was readily accepted by American Muscle Alec Odin, whom Dream later targeted to defeat. The unadvertised star for the show also had a great meet-and-greet with the overwhelmed audiences present in the front rows. His return as a face was a clear hit despite his prolonged absence from pro wrestling.

While the re-arrival of the former NXT talent seemed tempting, he had a bitter past with WWE chunked with controversies.
