Eddie Dennis has been in the newspaper a few times over the last couple of weeks. This is due to swapping the classroom for chokeslams and featured in a few UK papers. Eddie Dennis recently gave an interview to Metro UK, where he discussed the NXT UK brand and wrestling on the Indy circuit.
Eddie Dennis commented on seeing indie guys now wrestling on the main event scene,
“I wrestled Keith Lee in a small hall in Cardiff. He’ll remember it. There were people banging the ring skirts halfway through the match. I’d welcome the opportunity to go with someone like Keith again. I wrestled Drew [McIntyre] many moons ago for a company in Bristol. [Dominik] Dijakovic, people who I had matches which are fondly remembered on the independent scene. To get an opportunity to run those back with the WWE banner behind it to push it for it is exciting.”
He also discussed on growing the NXT UK brand,
“You watch Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and NXT. If you were involved in the British wrestling scene for the past 12 to 15 years, it’s littered with people you’ve either shared a ring or locker room with. In all honesty, for me, the primary focus since I signed a contract with WWE is to try and grow the NXT UK brand as far as it can possibly grow. I want it to be the fourth brand on a level playing field, I want us to have six live TakeOvers a year. I want our weekly episodic television show from BT Sport studios to be absolutely must-see TV – not just here in the UK but worldwide on the WWE Network.”
