Pete Dunne explains reason for coming up with his aggressive wrestling style

Pete Dunne is arguably the top star in WWE’s UK NXT brand. He decimates his opponents with his own aggressive style of wrestling, which he calls British Strong Style.

 


 

He was a standout during the WWE UK Championship Tournament. He has defended his championship many times ever since winning it and shows no signs of losing any time soon. However, all this took time, which he explained on E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness.

“When the people out in Britian are starting to make a name. People like Will Ospreay people like Mark Andrews who were doing things that I couldn’t really do. It was sitting down and realizing, okay I’ve got to turn it around I got to get something I got to find something that other people aren’t doing and without relying on those kinds of moves and the things I was trying at the time the high-flying stuff.”

“So it really was a step by step process of figuring out especially because I’ve been doing this since I was twelve-years-old so since back then and struggling my whole way up and going to Japan and finding who I am and eventually when I was starting to break out and realizing, ‘Okay I’ve got to be different than people who are already breaking out.’”

“So it really was a case of sitting down and thinking to myself ‘How am I doing to do this and then breaking it down and going to my roots little by little and going back to a British style that was my start. Little by little piecing it all together and eventually finding myself at Madison Square Garden with nine of the other lads from NXT.”

It is certainly great that Dunne was able to find himself. After all, he has come a long way to get to where he is right now.
