The youngest of the participants in the tournament also comes into this weekend’s action as one of the most hyped and known competitors. Nineteen year old Tyler Bate has spent five years learning his craft in companies such as Rev Pro, PROGRESS, CHIKARA, and has even competed against Tetsuya Naito and Los Ingobernables de Japon in six-man tag action with NJPW. When asked who his wrestling inspirations were, you may be surprised on his answer, as while he names legendary talents like Steve Grey and Johnny Saint, he also credits the Big Red Machine, Kane as a major influence in his career, which surprises not due to Kane being unworthy, but simply because it’s not every day you have a 5’7″ technician styling his work after a monster like Kane. However, this only goes to illustrate Bate’s all-around view of the squared circle and how to operate inside those ropes, and his willingness to wrestle in almost any style imaginable will allow him to adapt quickly should he advance deep into this tournament. However, will his partnership with Trent Seven as Moustache Mountain become an issue if they meet in the tournament?
