If you’ve ever wondered what life as a professional wrestler would be like, wonder no more. Tyler Breeze, the Canadian native and one part of “the Brezango” duo, gave us a call to talk about life on the road and his journey to the WWE life.
When did you know you wanted to become a wrestler?
It’s kind of a story you hear a lot- I was six years old watching wrestling and I thought, “Hey…I really really like this and I think that’s what I want to do as my career.” Everything I did kinda geared right towards that.
What’s your physical training and workout routine like?
Initially when you’re getting into it there’s the training in a school, just like you would do for any other career. You have to go and learn the ropes and put yourself through it and see if you actually have what it takes. You just keep learning and going through the next process of going against different opponents.
What is life on the road like?
It’s busy, very busy. You have to get very good at traveling- people AREN’T very good at travel in general, not good at driving, not good at airports- you have to have a lot of patience. We are on the road 4 or 5 days a week and the Europe tour is coming up in May, which is going to be 14 days long- you don’t really have a choice, you just have to buckle up and be ready to go.
Tell us about your signature move, and your “outfit.”
There’s a move I like to win with and beat people with- basically I just jump up and spin around and kick people in the face! I like to call that one the “Beauty Shot.” My outfit- it’s a little elaborate- some people like to just wear the classic wrestling trunks, and I kinda went the other way with it, having crystals all over everything and furs on everything- very elaborate.
Another move I have is called “The Unprettier,” so I wait until someone has their back turned to me and I hook their arms and smash their face to the ground.
If you were a dessert, what kind of dessert would you be, and why?
If I was a dessert?! You know what…l think because we are so “out there” and kind of blaze our own path, I would probably a lot of ice cream with a lot – like handfuls- of peanut butter, chocolate, everything you can think of, kind of like a sundae but it’s gonna be a super elaborate sundae.
