[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.."
[9.0] "Amazing wrestler, one of NXT's best wrestlers whether he's on the UK brand or not, he's always able to put on bangers with almost anyone in the ring. If he ever gets called up, all I can do is hope he gets booked correctly and at least succeeds as a top mid card act."
[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."
[6.0] "Relativ guter Wrestler und noch sehr jung, er hat also noch viel vor sich um mich mehr zu überzeugen. Ich finde in ganz gut, aber sicher nicht so gut wie er momentan bewertet ist. Edit: Inzwischen noch langweiliger geworden, deshalb werte ich auf 6 runter."
[9.0] "Was already one of the best in the world at age 23; great technical ability, striking, power moves and rock solid understanding of psychology. Its a real shame he's in the WWE, I just dont 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 hes getting a good bag"
[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."
[10.0] "Amazing technique, he's also very young, and has had great matches with WALTER. Excellent in singles and tag matches. Sky's the limit for this young man"
[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."
[7.0] "Tyler Bate ist ein guter Wrestler der mit den richtigen Gegnern starke matches liefern kann. Allerdings mangelt es ihm an Charisma und am Mic kann er auch noch nicht überzeugen. In den letzten Jahren stagniert er leider in seiner Entwicklung aber ich bin gespannt wo die Karriere noch hinführt."
[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."
[6.0] "It's a classic case of early promise and potential not developing into real talent and ability. He's not awful but he's not as good as seemed to show potential to be. Promo wise awful doesn't really work his gimmick all that well."
[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] "Mitte 20, bald 10 Jahre dabei. Tyler Bate ist im Wrestling aufgewachsen und hatte vor Augen der WWE-Zuschauer einen krassen Schub. Seine Anfänge waren schon gut, aber er hat einen sichtbaren Schritt und dabei wieder immer wieder richtig im Ring abgeliefert. Die Zeit der Pandemie war scheinbar für ihn persönlich wirklich nicht leicht, aber er kommt dann doch nahezu unverändert aus der Pause zurück und zeigt weiter, was ihn ausmacht. Am Mikro ist das immer noch etwas schüchtern und unsicher, aber es erfüllt meistens den Zweck."
[5.0] "Guter Wrestler, der aber über keinerlei Ausstrahlung bzw. Ecken und Kanten verfügt, um aus der Masse an guten Wrestlern heutzutage hervorzustechen. Er ist ein kleiner, schmaler junger Mann mit einem Bart, um es einmal überspitzt zu formulieren. Vor allem am Mikrofon sehe ich mich bestätigt, da fehlt es ihm an allen Ecken und Enden (Entschlossenheit, Power, etc. ). Bate fällt für mich von daher in die Kategorie "Vanilla Midget"."
[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] "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."
[10.0] "Ich finde diesen Jungen großartig. Er ist eine Perfekte Mischung aus Worker und Redner. Er gefällt mir in beiden sehr gut. Dafür das er erst 22 ist finde ich hat er alles was er braucht. Er kann sich in manchen sachen zwar noch verbessern, aber wer ist schon Perfekt? Deswegen denke ich sind die 10 Punkte angemessen. Sein Gimmick mit Trent Seven überzeugt mich auch jedes mal und ich liebe es ihm zuzusehen."
[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."
[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."
[5.0] "Sehr jung, viel Potenzial, aber auch noch sehr Ausbaufähig. Charisma keines, Mikrofonskills keine, im Ring für sein Alter gut. Aber ich bewerte ja jetzt nicht das Alter, also 5 Punkte. Vielleicht in einem Jahr ja schon mehr."
[8.0] "Seine Arbeit im Ring spricht für sich! Sehr jung und schon sehr, sehr talentiert! Zurecht zum Sieger des UK Tournament auserkoren worden und ein guter Repräsentant der UK Division auch heute nach seinem Titelverlust noch."
[10.0] "Tyler Bate ist unglaublich. Gerade mal 20 Jahre alt und von den wrestlerischen Fäigkeiten wirkt er schon wie ein alter Hase. Tolles, sauberes Move-Set mit viel Polyvalenz, einem hervorragenden Maß an Charisma und ordentlichen In-Ring-Fähigkeiten. Wenn nicht alles schief läuft, wird Bate mal ein ganz, ganz Großer seiner Kunst. Einziges Manko: Seine Statur."
[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] "Very bright future for an extremely bright wrestler. It's crazy to think he's only 20. Freakishly strong and always seems to pull something new out in matches."
[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."
[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."
[9.0] "Also nach seinem ****1/2 Sterne Match gegen Pete Dunne bei NXT TakeOver Chicago muss ich ihm einfach 9 Punkte geben. Bate packt in diesem Match alles aus (Moonsault, 360 Senton) und etabliert sich damit bei mir ganz oben. Und dabei ist er noch sehr jung und hat Mega Potential."
[9.0] "Ein übertrieben gutes Talent und einer der potenziell größten Zukunft-Stars. Bei PROGRESS immer mal nett unterwegs m TagTeam Bereich, aber seit dem UKCT auch beim Marktführer groß dabei. Vom Wrestling her sehr technisch versiert, dazu nette Kraft/Beweglichkeit Balance und die Fähigkeit eine nette Story in das Match zu bringen. 9 Punkte !"
[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] "Auch wenn er noch jung ist und sich wahrscheinlich noch steigern wird, hat er für mich jetzt schon die 10 verdient. Was er im Ring kann lässt mich immer wieder staunen. Seine Kraftaktionen sind genau so beeindruckend wie seine Athletik-Moves. Dazu hat er einen gut vermarktbaren Look."
[9.0] "Er ist einer der jüngsten Titleträger in der WWE Geschichte. Natürlich kenne ich besten von der Europäischen Ligen auch bei wXw hat er viel gewrestlet. Er wurde da in einigen Matches unterschätzt. Ich kenne er wird bald von der WWE verpflichtet werden vielleicht im Sommer. Bis dahin sieht man ihn noch genug bei PROGRESS und anderen Ligen."
[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"
[10.0] "Tyler is incredibly talented worker, technical marvel with throwback, oldschool wrestling style and natural charisma. I'd say that his biggest advantage at this point is his ability to easly get over with the crowd, due both antics of the gimmick he mostly uses and afromentioned charisma."
[7.0] "Jesus f'n christ, Tyler Bate is only 19 and he is that damn freaking good! Imagine this guy in 20 years! I can see him going down as one of the best ever..."
[9.0] "Ein fantastischer Worker. Natürliches Charisma und auch gut im Ring. Am Mikrofon harpert es noch ein wenig, aber trotzdem ist er für seine 19 Jahre schon unglaublich weit. Es ist fast beängstigend, dass er schon so gut ist. Momentan gebe ich ihm 9 von 10 Punkten und bin auch sehr gespannt was die Zukunft ihm bringen wird. Als UK-Champion zudem sehr gut gewählt."
[10.0] "He's 19 years old but wrestles with the skill of a 30 year vet. He has the weirdest charisma I've ever seen in a wrestler, and it's utterly charming. I love this kid, and hope he has one of the best careers of all time."
[10.0] "HOLY COW! Vier Matches in 24 Stunden, und trotzdem präzise wie ein Uhrwerk, kein Botch, perfektes Gimmick und Crowdworking, und saustark im Ring - und das Ganze mit 19 Jahren? Der Mann ist das Gesamtpaket! Ich bin so froh, dass die WWE dieses Talent mit aufgegabelt hat. Aus dem kann noch was ganz großes werden."
[8.0] "Terrific younger wrestler. Hopefully Progress and ICW will make more use of him in the future. UK companies are putting their trust him in, with Attack! and Kamikaze Pro giving him multiple title reigns, while Southside Wrestling Entertainment are giving him big opponents like Drew Galloway and Chris Hero. UPDATED FOR 2017 BECAUSE HE'S THE WWE UK CHAMPION!"
[6.0] "Bate ist ein sehr guter Oldschool Techniker, dem leider etwas das Charisma abgeht. Er ist aber mit seinen 19 Jahren natürlich noch lange nicht am Ende seiner Entwicklung und wird in ein paar Jahren bestimmt zu den Top Stars in Europa gehören."
[7.0] "Ziemlich underrated. Ist gut im Ring und hat eine gute Ausstrahlung. Hat sich nicht nur im Ring echt gemausert, sondern auch mit Trent Seven einen guten Tag Team Partner gefunden, der Bate echt weiterhilft. Da Bate eher ein ruhigerer Typ ist. Auch bei Q&A's ist es schwer überhaupt ein Wort aus ihm rauszubekommen."
[8.0] "has that old school look and style, a very gifted technical wrestler who yet again deserves more attention on the British wrestling scene as he can put on a really good showing, decent on the mic as well and still has time to improve further."
[4.0] "Also ich weiss ja nicht. Er wirkt im Ring oft mehr als nur verloren. Er versucht also harter Kerl durchzugehen, aber das hat man von anderen, die es auch nicht waren, schon besser gesehen. Er nimmt sich dann auch noch selbst noch auf die Schippe, was ihm die ganze Ernsthaftigkeit nimmt! Vom wrestlerischen her, wirkt er eher wie ein Kirmesboxer. Er sollte ganz schnell und dringend über eine Image-Wechsel nachdenken und sich mehr Technik aneignen, sonst geht es unweigerlich nach untern!"
