Tyler Breeze On Who He Modeled His Gimmick After, & More

The Post and Courier recently interviewed WWE Superstar Tyler Breeze. Below are some highlights, including Breeze discussing the inspiration for his character and training in NXT.

Breeze on modeling his gimmick after Gorgeous George: “In the same vein [as Gorgeous George], just modernized. He was a big influence as far as presentation and mannerisms. I watched a lot of his stuff when I tried to put this character together. It’s kind of cool. While there are some similarities, there are some big differences as well.”

Breeze on where he got started in wrestling: “I did the independents for about four years … some cross-Canada stuff. I was kind of hidden away on the west coast of Canada. I was working regularly, but I wasn’t on anything televised and really wasn’t getting noticed.”

On his transition to the main roster: “It’s been a big change for me. As much fun as NXT was, it totally took a different turn up here. Working in front of sold-out houses and at events like Survivors Series, and working with someone like Dolph, makes it a real pleasure to come to work.”

Breeze on the process of training and phases of NXT: “They really didn’t have to train me from scratch, but in terms of being a homegrown talent and having had no real name value before FCW and NXT, they put the finishing touches on what you’re watching now. … You go through so many different phases when you first get there. You’re kind of intimidated and excited, and you’re trying to learn everything. You’re trying almost too hard, to the point where you’re not even absorbing the stuff you need to see or the stuff you need to know because you’re overwhelmed.”
