WWE Artist Claims Velveteen Dream Was “The Most Unprofessional Person” Following WWE Release

Professionalism in wrestling is one of the most important traits a wrestler needs to have if he or she wants to make it big. If you’re not professional in your work, then WWE is not for you. Velveteen Dream found it out the hard way.

WWE artist slams Velveteen

On May 21, 2021, long-serving WWE artist Rob Schamberger took to Twitter to express his views on the news of Velveteen Dream’s WWE release. In the tweet, he announced Dream as “the single most unprofessional person” he has encountered in the business. Schamberger also added that Dream needs to do emotional work to become a better person. The tweet read,

“Without saying anything further: He was the single most unprofessional person I’ve encountered in this business. I hope this is the wake up call he needs to start doing the emotional work to become a better person. All told.”

Dream signed with WWE in 2015, after a run on the sixth season of ‘WWE Tough Enough’ in the same year. Velveteen last performed on WWE TV during an episode of NXT in December, in a losing effort to Adam Cole.
