Bravo Americano

[5.0] "Tyler Bate has never had any charisma and no microphone skills but he was always great in the ring up until 2020 when he's had a drop on that aspect of his work and still continue to do so. We all dislike this new Bravo Americano bs however he's been average for like 7 years now"

[10.0] "Regardless of how poorly he's been utilised in recent years. Tyler Bate oozes in-ring brilliance, David levels of underdog and Goliath feats of strength. People say his mic work is weak, it's not, casuals just can't get around a brummy accent. This man is one of few WWE stars that has a 5* match under their belt, and his matches against Gunther, Dunne and Trent Seven are some of the best matches of all time, and there is absolutely no debate on that. The only NXT UK grand-slam champion, a pioneer of the British indies, one third of British Strong Style and a moustache that could climb mountains. Underutilised by WWE the moment he won the UK title for a second time, jobbed to lesser opponents in NXT which was horrific to watch as a British fan, not even a NA title run or even a re-run as heritage cup champion. Diabolical. Main roster was worse, yes he was reunited with Dunne, but the tag team was directionless, despite being better than every other tag team in ring at the time. The americano gimmick, although over in Latin America, is pure shite, an insult to great talents, of which are better than half the slop that's getting pushed these days. A NJPW run would have been amazing for Bate as I feel his style and presence would have been appreciated more. But that's fantasy booking, so all we can do as fans of this wrestler is dream on for better things. At least Tyler Bate is helping behind the scenes with AAA, alongside Dunne, which shows he has a long career in the business. Thank you for allowing me to post this poorly written rant. Rated 10 because of all reasons stated above + Tyler Bate is my favourite wrestler."

[10.0] "This guy deserves so much better. I feel like WWE is trying to bury him with his booking, it's a disgrace. Luckily, he's only 28, and if he ever decides to leave for NJPW or AEW, I can see him becoming a legend in our sport. He has everything it takes to become one, anyway. Despite the disastrous period that WWE is putting him through, I still give him a 10 for his enormous talent and past glory."

"brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Nothing more to say. Not big, but a great worker with great wrestling psychology or technical skills. great wrestler"

[8.0] "He has so much potential and always has, he's still so underutilized to this day. I sincerely hopes he drops his loyalty to Triple H and tries to go elsewhere, because I do feel like he could be one of the best in the world if he can wrestle consistently. Great technician, charismatic, can be a good all-rounder when he wants, & can be funny. My only issue with him is he's stuck to the same formula since forever, and I think a change of scenery could help him a lot. Really hope he either starts getting booked more or goes elsewhere, I'd love to see him in NJPW or somewhere like that."

[8.0] "Tyler Bate pound for pound might be the strongest wrestler I've seen at his size. This dude's quads have quads... I think they could definitely get him a better gimmick, but I will be excited to watch ANY program Tyler Bate is a part of."

[8.0] "If there's a knock against him, it's that WWE hasn't always capitalized on his talent to its fullest. Whether due to timing or the limited exposure of NXT UK, Bate often feels like a hidden gem rather than the breakout star he could be. Still, at such a young age and with a resume already stacked with great performances, his ceiling remains incredibly high. Tyler Bate is a wrestler's wrestler--smooth, strong, and endlessly watchable"

"El mejor luchador de menos de 30 años en mi opinion, me gustaria verlo mas en TV, uno de mis personales combates favoritos fue el que dio contra Pete Dunne en un TakeOver. Es impresionante en el ring, es rapido, atletico y bastante fuerte. Es el BigStrongBoi"

[8.0] "Tyler Bate has heavily regressed in the last few years, so here's hoping his body is not betraying him. He has several really really good matches, but ultimately will still have a bit of work to come back, show he can be a top guy in a big company and not just a big fish in a small pond, and display more versatility to move above good hand and improve on his very good in ring work from his early 20's"

[10.0] "One of my favorite to watch, I simply never saw someone wrestle the way Bate does. It's so smooth, majestic, technically perfect. Tyler Bate has plenty of insane matches, his match with Walter may be one of the best of the company. Still has some achievements, one of the pillars of NXT UK. Pure love and admiration for Tyler !"

[4.0] "This guy just isn't it. He doesn't have it. Sure, he had some good matches with Pete Dunne during the whole NXT UK era, but he never stepped up afterwards and has just completely stagnated. I do think he's good in-ring, throw him in NJPW or something and he'd put on a great match. But in-terms of WWE, people are kidding themselves if they think this guy is going to be anything more than a lower card wrestler, if even that. He'll always be on the B shows, because he's not somebody fans can connect with. Good in-ring, lacks everything else."

[7.0] "One of the most underutilised wrestlers in the world over the past few years. Incredible in the ring and naturally charismatic. Thankfully though, he is still young and potentially has many more years in the industry to show off how great he is."

[10.0] "Tyler Bate is one of the best under 30 wrestlers in the world. His strength, his speed, his charisma, he's got it all when he's still young. He's bound to be a top star no doubt about it."

[8.0] "Another very talented worker who thrived in NXT UK and NXT, but like Pete Dunne, lost his way on the main roster. He's an awesome competitor who put on fantastic matches in his career but I wish he was booked a lot better than he is now."

[9.0] "I you asked me in 2019, I'd say Tyler Bate was on GOAT trajectory. He was already one of the best in the world at age 23; great technical ability, striking, power moves and rock solid understanding of psychology and a true connection to the fans in Britain. It's been quite disappointing to see him in the years since, misused and stagnant. It's a real shame he's in the WWE, I just don't see him reach his potential there, imagine seeing him in Japan or even the more in ring centric american promotions like aew... whatever, I hope he's getting a good bag."

[9.0] "Tyler Bate is highly talented in-ring worker and great technician. He's really good in tag matches and can put on awesome single matches. He is entertaining too. One of the best for his age."

[9.0] "you know, i was being too harsh. Sure he cant cut a compelling promo and his look has deteriorated over the years, he had some of my favorite matches, not just britwres, but probably ever. Such a natural underdog babyface that is capable of overcoming anything. British Strong Style was such a legendary trios, same with Moutache Mountain. The Giant Swing, the bop and bang, the spiral tap, the orange crush, airplane spin, simply tremendous"

[0.0] "All he does is spin people around. Extremely boring wrestler who can only be carried by other wrestlers in the ring. Another snorefest machine who can't cut a promo. Absolutely terrible wrestling. I can't watch him without yawning. He needs to do something different. 0/10"

[4.0] "Genuinely horrible. I used to think he had some potential because he was fairly young, but he has actually been stagnant in most areas while declining in others (his in-ring work is worse and his look is a choice). Let's be honest. Tyler Bate looks like a hobo in diapers, he can't talk nor act for shit, can't really work a gimmick and he is tiny as fuck. He can do moves and sell decently but that's all he has going for him. A lower midcard act that gets a ton of TV time that much more talented people should be getting instead."

[8.0] "I like Bates a lot. He has a ton of charisma and he performs great in the ring with the British style of wrestling. Whether he is teaming with Dunne or Seven, or competing solo he is always entertaining. He is still young and has a ton of potential"

[9.0] "After finally escaping developmental purgatory, Tyler Bate has cemented himself on the main roster after EC Perth, which I'm so happy to see after following him for years. He's a prodigy in the ring and has physical charisma and cheeky promos that makes him an amazing babyface, while still being able to get serious when the occasion calls for it. Flourishes in singles and tag competition. I'm hoping that WWE splits the tag belts ASAP as there are too many talented teams on the roster with not a lot of direction, with Dunne and Bate being who I would put the belts on first, even though i think they should've kept the British Strong Style name. I can't believe WWE squandered Tyler in developmental for so long, he joined in Jan 2017 at 19 and was called up in Jan 2024 at 26, when he was ready years earlier.."

[6.0] "Tyler Bate is a good cruiserweight wrestler. He is pretty well-rounded and can do a little bit of everything from technical, high-flying, and power moves. I think his promo ability is lacking and his stature makes him lack believability against certain opponents. It is difficult to see how far he will go. I don't think his ceiling is that high but he can put on some great matches and if the cruiserweight division is ever brought back and done correctly, he can be one of the top guys there."

[8.0] "A very good wrestler. Probably one of the best cruiserweights ever saw in WWE. Aside from his ring skills, he's decent at promos and has good facial expressions. He's part of one of my favourite matches ever: the one against WALTER at Cardiff in 2019"

"One of the best in ring workers in WWE right now. The fact that he's 25 is unbelievable considering his in ring ability and the number of quality matches he delivered. He can have a good match with anyone, can play a great underdog babyface, can narrate a great story be it in ring or on mic. A great technical wrestler with bright future."

[8.0] "One of the classiest and finest wrestlers out there. Amazing technique, knows how to be serious and funny when the situation requires it. He just need to work in his gimmick and the microphone to secure his place, but I don't see him becoming World Champion."

[9.0] "A great talent, for his age he is awesome. He can do almost everything in the ring and deserves more."

[6.0] "A classic case of what might have been at this moment in time. He was a stand out in the British independents and had some excellent matches very early on in his WWE career and now I barely remember he exists as he treads water year after year."

[6.0] "A sad decline for a worker that some commentators considered to be the next Jun Akiyama. Being left on the shelf in WWE has seen his stock drop rapidly."

"A top wrestler that triple h let down Tyler is a amazing wrestler who is still on the cover of nxt but he hasn't been on TV since October no mention of why if you aren't going to use him hhh than release him so he can wrestle or at least acknowledge he is still part of nxt instead of just pretending like he doesn't exist"

[8.0] "While I do not care about his character which brings the score down a tad, His in ring work is undeniable he has put on countless classics and hes only in his mid 20's i cannot wait for when he is in his true prime then he will trully be considered one of the best talents."

[10.0] "The Big Strong Boi is pretty much the British Tatsumi Fujinami. That is exactly who Tyler Bate reminds me of. They are built somewhat similar, they are technicians, can hit any move in the book, can fly, can strike, can brawl, can play Ring General and carry a lesser talented wrestler, excellent seller, outstanding in Singles, Tags, Trios, short technical contests, long-winded epic battles, whatever you want. Tyler also has the natural charisma & likability to be a highly believable Babyface, it is hard to picture him as a Heel. Tyler Bate is almost exactly like the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami. He is one of the best wrestlers in the world under the age of 30 (really he is one of the best wrestlers in the world, period), he has been apart of one of the best tag teams of the last 10 years, Moustache Mountain, was apart of one of the best trios of the last 10 years as well (British Strong Style), seems like he would have the ability to fit in with any wrestling promotion anywhere in the world (WWE, AEW, NJPW, or even NOAH, he is that believable to me). He is an NXT UK Legend as he accomplished every single feat possible on that brand which really puts him over as the ACE of NXT UK. His epic battles against Pete Dunne, WALTER, Undisputed ERA, & Trent Seven will be forgotten no time soon as well. The Big Strong Boi is actually The Man."

[10.0] "Awesome movement Young British wrestler with amazing strength for a small build. He is a veteran among young wrestlers of the same age group born in the same year."

[10.0] "Big strong boy is a talented wrestler, so he can use his mature wrestling skill in his matches. He is also first ever NXT UK triple crown winner, although he is only 25 years old."

[9.0] "Just an insanely good wrestler all around, in terms of in ring work Tyler Bate is one of the best in the business right now. Unfortunately his character work has always been, and still is, a bit bland, but you also have to remember he's still very young. I think if he can figure out who his character is as a wrestler and just go with it in the next few years, he will go down as one of the greatest of all time. As of right now though he isn't close to all time great status yet, just extremely good."

[9.0] "I got back into wrestling around 3 years ago, and quickly found myself watching Tyler Bate, first in WWE and then looked further into his Progress matches. As a babyface in WWE he works perfectly, given his age, but he also excelled as a heel in the stable British Strong Style with Pete Dunne and Moustache Mountain partner, Trent Seven. Bate has, personally, delivered some of my favourite matches and continues to show how he, at such a young age, can elevate the match. See his matches against WALTER (both at TakeOver Cardiff and Progress, Hello Wembley), and also delivered exceptionally on the tag team front, both as Progress tag team champion with Seven, in matches against GYV or CCK to see the range of performance from him. Truly an exceptional talent and given what we have already seen, still has tonnes of potential."

[9.0] "Really great wrestler & someone who "gets" it. Won the first UK Tournament & quickly progressed as a great worker. Anytime he's had a big spotlight match, he has delivered. Matches against the likes of Dunne & Walter were perhaps the best of the year. His tag team with Seven was super solid & they also put on some fantastic matches, particularly against Undisputed Era."

[10.0] "What can? t this guy do. He is in his early 20s and is still one of the best workers in WWE. This guy is the future, he is flawless."

[9.0] "Very good and exciting. Fluidly moves between Flying and brawling and is believable despite usually being much smaller than his opponent."

[10.0] "Tyler Bate is ridiculous. He is only 22 years old and has already put on some all-time great matches (vs Dunne, vs Walter, etc) It's scary cuz with his age he can only get better. This man could be a main event star."

[9.0] "Tyler Bate is one hell of a worker! Can work singles and tag team matches like no other! Love his fantastic offense, great power and agility, sells great, has that babyface fire and he is truly one of my favorites to watch these days."

[6.0] "My thoughts on Bate are exactly the same as Dunne. Their style is mostly boring to me but they're both solid workers."

[9.0] "Very, very talented and fun to watch. Whether it's a singles competition or tag team matches, I can always count on this big strong boi to entertain me."

[10.0] "A really good performer with a bright future ahead. With just 20 years he's one of the top british wrestlers today, and I'd be no surprised if in a few years Tyler is considered as one of the best wrestlers in the world."

[10.0] "This guy is something very, very special. Is there anyone who could have been at his level at the age of 20? I have no idea. Easily the best wrestler at his age in the business, and has the potential to be one of the best ever."

[9.0] "He's only 20 and he's already a great wrestler. He's got a lot of time to improve so the future is pretty exciting for him."

[10.0] "I don't grade on a curve, I'm not giving Bate a 10 because he's really good for only 20 years old. He's just really god damn good. I hear people throw around terms like "This guy is the future of the business" all the time for various wrestlers, and I've never really bought it. Until now. This man is a superstar."

[8.0] "He may not have the most nuanced character, but this guy just has an extremely organic underdog quality to him that makes him a lot of fun to root for. He has a unique, old-school move set that catches your attention right away and is a breath of fresh far. Hard to believe he only just turned 20 years old, excited to see what his future holds!"

[7.0] "Unfortunately for Bate (a very talented in-ring performer), he lacks in character, and that really shows when he's facing larger-than-life wrestlers like Jack Gallagher and Pete Dunne."

[10.0] "Without doubt , one of the best British wrestlers of all time . just hope that wwe do not ruin him as he has so much to offer ."

[10.0] "This kid is fucking unbelievably talented for being just 19 years old. He has good fundamental skills, strength, agility, technical wrestling, and high flying, but that all falls away to his incredible, odd charisma. The one and only thing that could hold him back is his size, at 5'7 he's small even for the new era of cruiserweight wrestling"
