Kyle Fletcher shared the wrestlers who have influenced his promo style, highlighting several former WWE Champions and AEW talents. Over the past year, Fletcher has developed his trash-talking abilities, gaining respect both in the ring and on the mic. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet of Insight, Fletcher revealed that one of his earliest inspirations was The Miz, whom he admired as a child for his exceptional mic skills despite some criticism from fans.
“I think this will always be a bit of a joke, but growing up—I’m younger than many wrestling fans—The Miz was one of the first wrestlers that got me hooked on promos. In 2011, I was 12, and I thought, ‘This is the best. I’m the best,'” Fletcher said.
He also praised other WWE legends like John Cena, whom he considers among the best at delivering promos, especially in Cena’s later career when Fletcher found himself captivated by his performance. Additionally, Fletcher acknowledged AEW stars such as Roman Reigns, Hangman Adam Page, Samoa Joe, and MJF as top-notch mic performers who inspire him regularly.
The Australian wrestler, known for his recent haircut and rising profile, has earned praise from WWE legend Bully Ray for his progress and efforts in the industry.
