Why is he an influencer? Pete Dunne's no-nonsense joint manipulating mat wrestling style has already changed the way matches are paced, booked, and performed. His combination of old school toughness and new age dazzle have made him a sought-after performer all over the world.

Pete Dunne started training for the ring at the age of 12, when most boys can't be bothered to clean their room or brush their hair. Forbidden from wrestling because of his young age, he donned a mask and called himself the Tiger Kid. That's dedication to your craft!

While Dunne is best known as a performer, he also has worked as a promoter and booker. He founded Attack Pro Wrestling mainly to give a lot of his friends opportunities in the dog eat dog world of British Pro wrestling.
