Tyler Bate Says Kane Was His Favorite Wrestler Growing Up

In an interview with Mirror, Tyler Bate revealed that when he was growing up, Kane was his favorite wrestler. Here are highlights:

On a weekly WWE UK show: “It’s definitely a possibility. I don’t know whether that is the end goal. Like I said earlier, I’m just taking it as it comes.”

On his favorite wrestler when he got into wrestling: “I don’t really have an inspiration as far as my style goes. My favorite wrestler when I was getting into wrestling was Kane. Obviously I don’t really resemble anything you would call Kane!”

On the UK wrestling scene after the UK Championship tournament: “It’s given British wrestling some new legs to stand on really hasn’t it? Because for so long now it’s been looking for its breakthrough moment, to show the world what it’s capable of. Luckily enough for us now with the WWE UK Championship Tournament, we’ve been able to give people a glimpse of what we’re capable of. There is still much more to come from the UK performers and it’s all about keeping the momentum going really and trying to showcase it as much as possible without letting it die down.”
