Ready for the main roster #5: Velveteen Dream

At various times during NXT's existence, there have been wrestlers who were the undisputed top star in the company, whether they had the NXT championship or not.

Shinsuke Nakamura is one such man, who helped put NXT on the map of fans who may not have seen it otherwise. Triple H himself once referred to Asuka as the NXT brand's 'anchor' and the one wrestler he could not afford to lose to the main roster.

Now, the top draw in NXT isn't the current NXT Champion Johnny Gargano. No, that honour goes to the NXT North American champion, Velveteen Dream. With a combination of charisma, poise, and athletic ability, The Velveteen Dream has proven himself to be a hot commodity; perhaps just what the main roster needs to bump up the ratings.

Why he should move up to the main roster: Velveteen Dream is the type of wrestler that only comes along once a generation. He could be the next Rock or Hulk Hogan if handled correctly.
