Popular NXT Superstar Being Considered For Main WWE Roster

 

 

WWE NXT Superstar Velveteen Dream is being considered for a main WWE roster call-up sooner than expected, according to F4WOnline.com. The report noted that there there are differing schools of thought on it.

 

Dream (Patrick Clark) has been with NXT since 2015. Prior to this Clark appeared in the sixth season of the WWE competition WWE Tough Enough. Despite being viewed as one of the favorites to win the competition, he was eliminated in the 5th episode due to a perceived lack of humility, placing 9th overall in the series.

I recently did an interview with Johnny Gargano where we covered a TON of topics.

 

We talked about whether or not he is worried about getting called up the main roster, being compared to Daniel Bryan, working with his wife Candice LeRae and much more.

 

 

You can see the full interview here:

 

If he is concerned his character will be watered down when he gets called up the main roster:

People are really worried about that. I get that on Twitter a lot that people like I dont want to see Johnny go to the main roster because hes going to get messed up. Look, Im just me. Im just Johnny Gargano. Im the same Johnny Gargano I always have been so if you see anything Ive done in NXT, youre seeing the real me and theyve treated me very good so I have no worries about where were going in the future.

 

Being compared to Daniel Bryan:

I get a lot of comparisons to Daniel Bryan and trust me, I am flattered by all of them because we mentioned New Orleans and WrestleMania, I watched it at home and watched Daniel Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania achieve his dreams. Ive said this numerous times, Ive been in the ring with Daniel Bryan and hes the best wrestler in the world, bar none. So to be able to see him come back this year, and I know he recently said in an interview that he wanted me to lose so he could steal me to go on Smackdown Live which I very much appreciate. Im going to give him a raincheck on that one because I still have a couple of things I want to accomplish in NXT.

 

 

Working with his wife Candice LeRae in NXT:

Its amazing how everything has worked out. Its literally a dream come true to be in the position Im in. To be able to main event Takeovers but also to have my wife there with me now . Candice has worked just as hard as I have if not harder. Especially for what she did on the indies, she was an absolute trendsetter. So me being biased as her husband, Im pumped to see her in NXT so I can be with her, but as a pure wrestling fan I am so excited to see her in NXT because shes one of the best wrestlers in the world.

 

How and why he transformed his body:

I went away for a little bit after Tommaso turned his back on me. Im always of the mindset that when you come back you have to be better than yourself and thats my mindset from watching Triple H who went away and tore his quad and came back with those Beautiful Day videos and looked like a million dollars. You cant go away for a long time and come back looking worse. You just cant do that. I realized in myself, look Im a small guy, Im never going to be 250 pounds, Im never going to be 65?, but I can get as jacked and as lean as humanly possible. And luckily enough for whatever reason I genetically have great abs. So I decided to go all in on being lean and going all in putting my best foot forward and looking the best I can. I hired a nutritionist, Austin Current on Instagram, hes working with a lot of people now in WWE because they saw how well it worked for me and people were like give me your nutritionists info because it works. That along with Sean Hayes at the Performance Center who has amazing workouts and got me to where I need to be.

 

 

How Johnny Manziel inspired his nickname Johnny Wrestling:

It was just a tweet that I sent out one day when Johnny Manziel was still in college and the Johnny Football thing was starting to catch fire. I just randomly said, if he can be Johnny Football why cant I be Johnny Wrestling? And then like the next weekend at shows I started getting Johnny Wrestling chants and the weekend after that I got Johnny Wrestling chants and they kept getting bigger and bigger. And as soon as the NXT thing happened, it blew up. It was inspired off Johnny Manziel because I am a Cleveland Browns fan so I was pumped about Manziel Mania coming to town but now its taken on a life of its own and people dont even make that correlation anymore.
