VELVETEEN DREAM

The Dream couldn't tell you the vibe in the NXT locker room, because, quite frankly, I have my own. When you are a Superstar as high up on the totem pole as The Velveteen Dream, you have those luxuries.

Supporters - they're where the heart is. They don't need 'merch.' They don't need to show their affection by wearing a sandwich board on their bodies, logos. No, no, no... people who support The Dream are a little bit more sophisticated than that.

I don't like the word 'fan.' Fan is short for 'fanatic.' Everyone that follows The Dream is a supporter, more or less.

Funny, I think that the only reason I'm compared to Prince is because of my skin color.

Wrestling gave me something outside science, which was my muse before this.

It's hard for me to label myself or characterize myself.

I don't live in a prism, and I'm not afraid of anything. I haven't built any walls around myself.

Prince played a big influence on my style.

I'm just like anyone else: I need love and water. I don't really consider myself a 'Superstar.'

Evolve is an amazing promotion.

The Dream didn't need to struggle. He's homegrown talent, straight from the WWE Performance Center, trained by the best coaches in the world: Norman Smiley, who's known from coast-to-coast, Matt Bloom, head trainer, and I am protege of the one-and-only The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.

If The Dream is worried about other people's matches, how can he be a man of his word?

I can say the people you see on TV are real-life individuals, not just people playing a role, myself included.
