![]() ![]() We are completely different marketable assets to the company. It’s nothing that frustrates me, because it’s not like Harper and Rowan are taking a spot that Tyler Breeze would be in. ![]() “They just happen to be ready quicker or what WWE needed at the time. I’m not going to have any ill will toward them. I was the one who had Cesaro’s first match. “It’s been like that since I got down here at FCW. “You can’t get frustrated by stuff like that,” he said. It has served more as motivation than disappointment. This means the athlete has looked on as others get called up before him, some in less than a year after signing. I see it as a huge opportunity for me.”īreeze is also one of NXT’s longest tenured members of the roster. As technology advances and new things come out, I’m the one who gets to play with that. That is something nobody has done before. At TakeOver we did the Periscope where thousands of people were watching from my cell phone as I was making my entrance. “My entrance streams from the phone to the big screen. I’ve had the opportunity to be a first in WWE to actually do some things. There is so much stuff that you could do with that. They are always checking Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. “Now it’s 2015, and everyone has a cell phone on them all the time. Then Triple H said we were past that and to move on to selfies. At the very beginning of the character we had the pocket mirror. “From input here and there with ideas from different people, it sort of turned an almost opposite way that I was going for. “When I initially started it, the persona was totally going to be something else that it didn’t end up being,” Breeze said. The success of the “Gorgeous One” stems from his drive to adapt and not being afraid to try new things with the character. Just that alone is an idea of how many people are watching.” We had the San Jose show with more than 5,000 people to see NXT. Everywhere you go people are talking more and more about NXT. Then you go out for something to eat and people are asking if I’m Tyler Breeze. When I started doing live events on the main roster, you assume people don’t know who you are because you aren’t on Raw or SmackDown. I would get asked, ‘Hey, Are you Tyler Breeze?’ People started noticing. “I would go to Best Buy or Publix for groceries. “There were a lot more people as soon as the network came out,” Breeze said. The product’s impact is even evident on Raw, SmackDown and pay-per-views. NXT is a hot property in pro wrestling today with sold-out shows and a growing audience for its television show. To be a part of that from the start to what is now, it’s really cool for me to take it all in and watch it grow.” A screen here or some sort of effect there. “Every time we show up for TV tapings or the live specials or anything, they always have something new added. Just the production alone is fascinating. I watched the entire transition from something small to something that now millions of people can watch on WWE Network each week. I was part of the initial pilot episode to test out Full Sail University to see if it would work for our NXT tapings. “There was no WWE Network back then, so you couldn’t even watch what you wanted to unless you were local. They were great matches then, but nobody was watching because nobody knew we even existed. I was watching these matches with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. A lot of people didn’t even know it was on TV. “We had FCW TV, but the audience wasn’t the same. “I’ve gotten to see it go from FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) and something that was very small,” Breeze recalled. The Breeze character made his grand TV debut in the summer of 2013 and through his years on the roster, the talent witnessed WWE’s developmental expansion firsthand. The Canadian, real name Mattias Clement, was signed to a contract in 2010. When the bell sounds, this performer can get it done in the ring. Tyler Breeze is an emerging A-list NXT talent ready for his big close-up in WWE.Īnd don’t let the fur, feathers and selfie sticks fool you.
