Recently, a controversial wrestler made a return to the business. It was none other than Patrick Clark, more popularly known as The Velveteen Dream. He returned at The Dynasty’s show this past weekend. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared his thoughts on his surprise return.
While speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the NXT Commentator he claimed that people get accused for anything nowadays but it needs to be proven before believing the accusations. He also wondered what people have to do to be given a second chance.
“I can understand if he was convicted of that. I can understand if he was charged with that, I can understand if he was registered as that. But these days, people can make accusations on you, and people take it as fact. There have been no notable crimes on paper with any police department, as far as that goes. And the thing is, I wonder what you’ve got to do to get a second chance in this day and age we’re living in right now?” Booker T said. [Wrestling Inc.]
Booker T also commented on fans jumping to conclusions and making the accused’s life miserable
“I’ve seen comments from people that have never been to America before, making comments,” Booker explained. “And that’s where everything is so connected, where people can make your life miserable, where you can never get a job ever again in your life, and you’ve never been charged for that crime that people have convicted you for, in the public opinion. It’s really a slippery slope that we’re living in today.”
The WWE Hall of Famer also mentioned that Dream should not be prosecuted forever.
“I just don’t think you should be persecuted forever if there is not a real crime. If there was a victim, if it was one of these kids that has accused him of something and the police came and picked up Patrick Clark and took him to jail and he was prosecuted for that, I would be all for everything that these people are talking about.”
Do you agree with Booker T?
