Dream isn't even that good. He got carried to a good match by Aleister Black like two years ago and he's been coasting on it ever since.

Dream had a good gimmick in that he was just doing a prince impression. But that's about it.

I was saying this way before the sex creep stuff came out, dude isn't even that good, he's green as gently caress and way behind where he should be given the calibre of worker they had him paired with. Of course after the poo poo became public, it shouldn't matter if he was the lovechile of Akira Hokuto and Kazuchika Okada in terms of in-ring, he should be gone.

Absolutely, once those texts show up, he should've been Thanos-snapped out of existence. But the fact that they're going this far to protect this guy when he's not even any good just makes it absolutely befuddling. Usually when they protect a guy from the consequences of his actions, there's at least some cynical, evil reasoning behind it. Enzo was more of a business mover than Dream and they dumped him immediately.

Aleister Black must be a wizard because even Chris Hero couldn’t get a good match out of Dream, and Hero’s someone you’d trust to get a good match out of anyone

It was a very good angle. Just like the Ricochet one was. But very little of that is down to Patrick Clark.

i remember dave talking about how dream was tapped to be future roman reigns level of star when he was fresh on nxt

i remember dave himself saying dream would be the biggest star in wrestling if wwe doesn't gently caress him up

He had more potential than skill but was absolutely a dream prospect. And then it all got hosed up because he's with WWE and the PC and they don't know what to do with potential. So I guess they're protecting him out of sunk cost fallacy on all the time and energy they spent teaching the pedophile to be bad at wrestling.

Dream was actually pretty good and was really good at connecting with the audience and making dumb old-school poo poo work, and it is far more a testament to the WWE and its mismanagement of talent that it got lost even before his being a child abuser came out.

But he's also a child abuser, so gently caress him.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Dream was definitely the "No, see, the system can work" poster boy so I can understand why they don't want to cool on him in that regard.

But also because they don't care that he's an abusive piece of poo poo and they hardly want to set some kind of standard where they might be expected to care next time.

It’s because they know that fans don’t care and will keep watching anyway. And no big outlet is going to ever cover it. Fans allow them to get away with it unfortunately. WWE absolutely knows their audience.

I feel like given the pure volume of allegations against members of NXT UK this post belongs in here even though it's not a fan opinion. This is just an unbelievably dumb thing to post and every time I think WWE cannot shock me anymore, they find a way to make it happen.

And even then she’s allied with Brandi Rhodes and will probably be her proxy in the Jade Cargill/Shaq program.
