David Finlay reveals he's been training with Natalya and Tyson Kidd as of late.
The oldest son of Fit Finlay has been a popular topic among fans in the wrestling world as of late, as he recently became the leader of one of the most popular factions in history, Bullet Club. Finlay has already made a big impact since becoming the leader of the faction, as he recently came close to being SANADA in the final round of the 2023 New Japan Cup.
In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, Finlay was asked about his sleek in-ring style. In response, 'The Rebel' noted that he is big into studying wrestling and that he regularly trains with Natalya and Tyson Kidd in Tampa Bay.
“I watch wrestling every day. My three go-tos to watch are Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and my dad, Fit Finlay. The last year, year and a half, living in Tampa, I live pretty close to [WWE’s] Tyson Kidd and Nattie Neidhart, and I’ve trained with them in their ring. I’ve been picking [Kidd’s] brain for the last year and a half in their version of the dungeon. I grew up with a ring in my backyard, just like Nattie did. I’m in there on a regular basis fine-tuning my skills. It’s not so much training. It feels more like a Fight Club, and that’s translated well for me in New Japan.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Finlay noted that Jay White and Juice Robinson aren't affiliated with Bullet Club any longer. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
