The Velveteen Dream is best known for his current run as the most enigmatic man in NXT. His feuds with Aleister Black, Kassius Ohno and more recently Ricochet, as well as his involvement in the spectacular 6-Man Ladder Match to crown the inaugural NXT North American Champion.

However, few people are aware that Velveteen Dream took part in WWE's rebooted Tough Enough series under his real name, Patrick Clark. Dream finished 9th in the series but showed some of the promise he is now fulfilling in NXT. Of all the people the WWE has developed through Tough Enough and NXT, Velveteen is the one with the greatest potential.
