10 Things You Need To Know About WWE's UK Tryout Wrestlers

7. TK Cooper Has Already Worked WrestleMania Axxess

A standout in PROGRESS Wrestling, the charismatic New Zealander TK Cooper has already worked under the WWE umbrella. At this year's WrestleMania Axxess in Orlando, Cooper faced UK hardcore stalwart Jimmy Havoc in a match that proved both were capable of working divergent styles outside their comfort zone.

Given the WWE setting, neither man could rely on tricks that would normally thrill audiences on the UK independent scene. Instead of struggling to work the style WWE have cultivated in NXT, both TK and Havoc excelled.

This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone who has watched Cooper team with fellow Kiwi Travis Banks as The South Pacific Power Trip before.

WWE's talent scouts are clearly high on Cooper already, so it's no surprise he was invited to be part of the tryouts in London this week. The advantage of company experience is already something TK can crow about despite a scant 6 years as a fully-trained wrestler.
