10 Most Realistic Wrestlers In The World Right Now

'The Bruiserweight' is part of a new breed of British talent. Plant-based, strong style-focused and brimming with attitude, Dunne has become a well-regarded fixture of WWE's NXT shows. His gritty, hard-hitting style and sadistic submission work has set him apart from the rest of his British Strong Style crew.

A stiff brawler, Dunne's perpetual scowl and purposeful gait add to the aura of a surly fighter out to humble anyone unlucky enough to face him. His finger-breaking spots are a signature, if slightly overdone, part of his work. Small joint manipulation is an unscrupulous heel move, perfectly in keeping with the darker aspects of his persona. The noise and delivery of the move is cringe-inducing and superbly well done right up until his opponent keeps using the impacted hand.

The general focus on attacking the limbs and extremities of his foes is a logical development to build a match around. His submission holds are tight and applied with malice, leaving little room for disbelief in those watching. In keeping with his strong style focus, the second-ever NXT UK Champion fights through the pain, selling offence without ever completely slowing down. With it, he looks both tough and in peril all at once, lending a sense of urgency to his wrestling.

At just 28, Dunne still has room to grow and further develop his craft and style. From his match-pacing to his bumping, he is already the total package between the ropes.
