Exclusive: Triple H Talks Velveteen Dream’s Hulk Hogan & Prince Puma Inspired Entrance And Gear
Triple H basks in the glory of his new signings, and another successful NXT Takeover event, this time in Chicago.
One of the show stealers of the night was Velveteen Dream. The 22-year old star made his entrance with a boa, bandana, and a t-shirt similar to ousted WWE legend Hulk Hogan — who appeared as a judge on the season of Tough Enough that Dream, real name Patrick Clark lost.
I spoke with Triple H following NXT Takeover: Chicago, and asked him his thoughts on the entrance, which turned heads.
“I admire the creative…just to be unique and do your own thing, and bring some entertainment value. That’s what he brings to the table. Sometimes that stuff can be hit or miss, but I applaud that. Anytime somebody’s willing to go out on a limb like that, even if it’s just a wink or a nod that half the crowd didn’t get, or some did. That’s cool. For him to be that comfortable, that’s cool. He likes to put his own touch on everything he does, so I’m all for it,” said Triple H.
Dream also wore tights similar to that of Prince Puma, a character portrayed by his opponent Ricochet in Lucha Underground.
