Rob Schamberger, who hosts Canvas 2 Canvas on the WWE Network, did not mention Dream by name but wrote the following shortly after the news broke…

Without saying anything further: He was the single most unprofessional person I’ve encountered in this business. I hope this is the wake up call he needs to start doing the emotional work to become a better person. All told.
