For the Velveteen Dream situation, I highly suggest people go and watch/hear his talk Chris Van Villet. He laid it all out about the talks and showed evidence, and he owned up his mistake and apologized for his wrongdoings.

[@airdemon5712]

I sware people will avoid it on purpose just cause it's him which sucks. They'll just see the title and say he bs no matter what was said or shown. It doesn't matter that he brought paper work/proof on that podcast cause people won't watch to begin with. It was such a good sit down interview where he did not hide from anything that happened, the good and the bad

[@anointed6386]

Normally I'm not one for second chances when it comes to conduct like Patrick's in the past, but his apology video seemed more authentic than any apology video I've ever seen. Hopefully he gets his chance in WWE again after some time on the indies

[@Lifelight_]

Considering that the person who made the allegations against Patrick never filed charges, disappeared from the internet after making tremendous accusations and never acknowledged the inconsistencies in his own accusations and that he was literally not asking for justice but for Patrick to be removed from everything, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Much respect to The Dynasty for having the balls to let Patrick wrestle for them. I understand where Terra Calaway is coming from, but I suppose she still has a long way to go to understand that just as there are real victims, there are false victims. One more reason why I believe Janel Grant much more than the guy who accused Patrick. Janel knows she has more than enough evidence and genuinely wants Vince to pay the consequences for his actions. As far as I'm concerned personally, the Twitter guy just wanted to cancel Patrick and he got away with it.

[@TheVinnyCerezer]

100% agree. Especially after the Chris Van Vilet interview Dream did. He answered every question openly, provided so much evidence about his innocence, even admitted to stuff he actually did and apologized to the people that deserved. I'm on Dream's side until the accuser can actually prove his side is the actual truth.

[@WWEDylanS]

Absolutely this. As a SA victim myself we should learn about false accusations. Trust the victim, but if the accuser can clear their name with evidence then they’re innocent.

[@coltonwilkie241]

Terra refuses to accept the reality that not everybody accused is actually guilty. Makes me wonder if she's telling the truth. She probably isn't considering she deems everyone else as guilty without evidence.

[@mykeCA82]

It's more playing the victim. Some just love to push continuing being the victim and never grow from it.@@coltonwilkie241

If Patrick was not found guilty of any crime what gives people the right to bash him even more now? He deserves the right to make a return just like people who have, actually committed crimes, have been allowed to do so as well.

[@Jrocvid]

The Velveteen dream situation is ridiculous. He is not guilty, he was investigated, and he has receipts for all those things he was accused of. His interview was to clear the air, not to set up a return. I think that was not given enough credit as much as his arrests.

THANK YOU

[@tetsedah]

Thing is, the whole Velveteen Dream story skirt around some very serious topics. While one can easily say that someone who commited sexual assault needs to be villified, yet one can also make the case for someone deserving a second chance. As a community, how long should we condemn someone for past actions and when does someone deserve a second chance? And what does someone need to do to get a second chance? All of these are questions that can only be answered on a personal level. And those answers will differ which each person answering them. Thats what makes such a volatile topic. Especially when allot of people on the internet think that their answer to those questions are "the right answers".

@@jamesarnold7253 accused doesn’t equal guilty. That’s the problem, the people who think it does.

The return of Patrick Clark (Velveteen Dream) was incredible & I'm personally not mad about it. The investigations stated that nothing was found & it seems like it was just a couple of kids that got upset that he stopped giving them advice. Patrick was never imprisoned or ordered to court for the accusations, he lost his dream job, & he left the ring for over 3 years. I think with all that being said, he has a right to make a return, but at the same time people have a right to disagree if they choose because unfortunately an accusation does damage to your name whether you're innocent or guilty.

I watched Velveteen's interview with CVV and I decided to give him another shot. People need to understand that at times with situations like this, you need to hear both sides of the story. But of course, in the age of social media, no one bothers to hear the other side and just completely ignores the response. Sure some responses may be bullshit but some aren't and it doesn't hurt to sit down and listen

The way I see it, Patrick has a LOOOOOONG way to go to prove that he's truly changed, and i wish him the best of luck

[@cashcorleone3311]

He proved the accusations weren’t true what else do u want from him. He needs to rebuild from things that were false? Wonder which way you lean politically

[@darkhawkthebad]

@@cashcorleone3311 first off, my political stance is irrelevant to this matter nor is it any of your business, so idk why you thought to bring that up. secondly, in my defense, I didn't know that as I haven't seen anything about him, but if he proved they were fake, then i wish him the best

I miss your Saturday recaps. Not a huge fan of tuning into your compilation for my news on the weekend or having to wait till Monday.

[@MotorCityRealness313]

We all deserve a 2nd chance he was so good

[@johnbourget4160]

It seems that everyone keeps forgetting that innocent until proven guilty is supposed to be how it works, including many female wrestlers. Dream was not convicted so how is that putting other wrestlers safety at risk in the locker room? Also, Vince McMahon is also still innocent until proven guilty.

SmackDown reviews should return to Saturdays tbh

[@f1s7PumP]

THE DREAM IS BACK!

[@bigshon34]

Being accused doesn't mean guilty

[@danillosilva210]

Guilty till proven innocent apparently when it comes to me too movement. Makes it easy for false accusations, and muddles real ones.

[@apselbluestar2223]

It shows how Jaded I am with Rocks Hollywood antics that I genuinely don't care about Rocks promos. They don't feel electric to me

[@ArthurDent33]

Ok Luke, the Drew bit popped me

[@SpongePika]

I’m soooooo happy he’s back!! I’ve seen worse come back and receive a lovely warm welcome!! VD is an innocent man and I’m so happy to see him for filling his DREAM!! L for all the losers who are “outraged” by this!!

[@enjayprince1137]

Wish WWE would bring him back

[@mikeshadez]

I don't get the anger towards Patrick Clarke his a young man and when your that age you tend to be immature and say and do stupid things he hasn't gone so far that his hurt anyone like touching, so i fail to understand what the big deal is but people grow change, hopefully he gets another chance in wwe.

[@FretzlemaniaPod]

I understand the Patrick Clark controversy. He'll never be innocent in the court of public opinion. He was never charged, the investigation came up nothing and still people crap on the guy. In my mind, he's innocent and I will not argue with those who think differently. To each their own. Everyone deserves a second chance at life and I'm glad he got one. He attempted to clear his name on Van Vilet and I wish the best for him.

[@ericmouscardy759]

Thank you for at least adding a smackdown review, but what about the rest... the 1 minute takes were perfect. Question, why play an into with all those guys that no longer doing the news?

[@joehobin]

Last Friday was my first WWE show that I went to and really glad I did had a blast

[@shinerdrinker9249]

So I guess Rock is gonna screw Roman at Mania, and Cody wins the belt. Then a pissed-off and caring Roman fights Rock at a place to be determined for a lot of cash.

[@DaddyFutbol]

Recapping SmackDown 3 days later is weak

[@sirsteppa1109]

Give velveteen a chance 🔥
