Travis Banks

[0.0] "Despicable human being and part of the reason why NXT UK failed, why wrestlers who were a part of NXT UK aren't given as much time to shine on the main roster, I do not want to see this man wrestle in real life ever again, a creep and freak who deserves nothing. He had the world at his fingertips in 2017 and his stupidity, laziness and scumminess has lead to him being a joke of the industry and also a human."

[3.0] "Travis Banks only seems to put up good matches when he is motivated. He came to my hometown twice, the first time was on November 19, 2022 in a championship match against Dinamico and it was a very good contest. The most recent was on May 27, 2023 in a mixed tag team match and on that occasion he looked very lazy. He just strutted around the ring and messed with the fans in the front rows. He did practically nothing. Those actions reflect a lack of work ethic. And so he thinks he can lift his already damaged career?"

[3.0] "Garbage human and underwhelming wrestler who was overpushed in his brief stint in NXT UK and will rightfully be forgotten along with Ligero and co. If you want to know why NXT UK never gained traction, look no further."

[6.0] "Takes after those chip-on-the-shoulder strikers of pre-hiatus Davey Richards and Low Ki, but even at his best it was clear he needed some time to improve his mannerisms and characteristics. His career is over now because he is an abuser but in a vacuum was an interesting piece in the BritWres puzzle."

[5.0] "*deep sigh* well he flew himself out to Mexico in the middle of a pandemic so he could work a rumble full of trainees cause he's that desperate to wrestle. Would feel bad for him if it wasn't for the whole being an abuser thing. Embarrassed to have been a fan of his beforr"

[7.0] "He was pretty decent in the ring. Worked well as an upper enhancement-type talent. Not sure he was ever going to get to true main event status, as it seemed like he was missing something to get to that next level. But it seems like his career may be over due to personal issues."

[5.0] "He had a great 2017, but his career stalled after that. He's an alright wrestler, albeit a horrible human being."

[1.0] "Good in-ring, very, very good, in fact. Shame he emotionally abuses children and offers non-apologies when called out,"

[5.0] "Good in-ring worker if a little overused. NXT UK run has been a complete waste of time as you'd think he would have been on the radar of the Japanese promotions had he stuck to the UK independent scene. Recent allegations have pretty much ended his career I suspect so this is a retrospective rating."

[5.0] "I will never for the life of me understand why British people love this dude. Ok wrestler. Nothing more."

[6.0] "Personally i just do not get the hype what so ever, he puts on a good match every now and then but other than that there's not much else going on"

[5.0] "Banks does a lot of "moves" and has pretty much got the angry, intense never-say-die gimmick down, but does very little as a face to make me really care about him or his matches. As a wrestler, he's perfectly competent but uses too many strikes and big moves without really doing much storytelling. As a character, his gimmick has been done a million times before and he's got nothing that really sets him apart from anyone else doing it, and lacks any real charisma or ability on the mic. He is marginally better as a cowardly heel, but still totally lacks charisma."

[7.0] "I guess I haven't watched enough of Banks but he doesn't intrigue me that much. I haven't seen him have a shit match, all his matches are good I've found but nothing super tremendous. He is boring and doesn't excite me too much but he can put on a good match so i'm conflicted."

[3.0] "People compare this guy to Davey Richards which I find insulting because Davey entertains me despite his lack of psychology and awful selling, Travis Banks bores me. He is by far the most overrated wrestler on the indies, the worst Progress wrestling champion ever and he needs to go away and just focus on training future wrestlers, it's all he is good for."

[10.0] "Break out star of British independent wrestling scene even thought he from New Zealand. He can work as a single and tag team match. His match is absolutely in fire and the crowd is always behind him. I am so happy when he won the super strong style 16 tournament."

[10.0] "Travis Banks is incredible, a crazy intense who's getting rave reviews all over the UK, I've seen him wrestle Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Mark Haskins, Pete Dunne, ZSJ, Del Rio and loads more but the one thing I've never seen is him have a bad match."

[9.0] "Travis Banks is a great technical wrestler his match against Zack Saber Jr at WCPW Lights Out is by far the best match I have ever seen live. He can also hang with high flyers like Will Ospreay and is an integral part of the Progress Tag Division as part of the South Pacific Power Trip. I personally think he is set for big things as everything I have seen him attempt he excels at Hard Striking, High Flying, Mat Wrestling and even a Tag Team Specialist. Watch this space as Travis Banks is one of the hottest talents on the UK scene and if you have a chance to see him live grab it with both hands."

[10.0] "His matches are highlights of every show he is booked for, works well no matter of the opponent's style, and most of all, he improves even more with every apperance. I absolutely adore his work, regardless if it's in PROGRESS, FC:P, ICW, ATTACK! or somewhere else."

[8.0] "a common presence on the UK scene - Travis has what it takes to be something big on the British wrestling scene - a great work rate (technically sound and his striking moves are great to watch too) good physique and not half bad on the mic either - fingers crossed he's able to be something big"

[10.0] "Check out his work in RadPro. Great matches with the likes of Zack Sabre Jr. Can also wrestle a solid tag match when called upon. Can work as a heel or as a face confidently and understands crowd reactions better than most. One of my favourites to come over to the British scene. Huge potential for Travis."

[10.0] "Travis has really grown on me as a performer since he's come to the UK. His Fight Club Pro matches have been incredible and he can really connect with the crowd and give them what they want. Ospreay wants a match with him and thats for good reason, a 30 minute match for WCPW ( a big audience ) would really make more people warm to him! When given the chance he can really run with it. Hopefully WWE sign him for the Cruiserweights, i feel like he would really fit in well and talent from New Zealand needs to be exposed more. Right now he's killing it in the UK!"

[10.0] "Travis Banks is a spectacular performer that is more than capable of putting on a 5-star match with the correct opponent. Banks also has the ability to successfully settle into the role of a face or a heel and can spark a large reaction from any crowd."

[8.0] "A fantastic performer, who has been a pleasure to watch since moving to the UK. His work in Fight Club: Pro in particular has been world class stuff in a variety of different styles."

[7.0] "I dont see why he has that low of a rating. He is a pretty good wrestler and is very entertaining in WCPW. I understand why people say his gimmick is bad and stuff but I dont think it is that bad. Overall good talent and I hope he wins the Internet Championship in WCPW."
