Eddie Dennis gave slightly more to Jack Starz than he did Sid Scala during his debut two weeks ago, but another fantastic size difference between the two made the former headteacher look suitably-sized as he continued his cynical stroll to NXT UK supremacy.
Dennis' independent credentials in the area for several prominent local groups resulted in the West Midlands faithful receiving him as something of a folk hero, which actually aided the atmosphere as he rebounded from an early Starz assault to emphatically squash him to continue his quick rise.
By virtue of his backstory alone, Dennis has more going for him than almost everybody on the roster. Links to Pete Dunne and Mark Andrews offer instant feuds, and his obvious knack for actually getting over offers instant opportunity.
