Danny Burch says the dark days of British wrestling are over as a new crop of stars get to shine on TV with WWE.
Independent promotions and schools across the country are putting on shows and producing talent on a regular basis.
And the chances of being seen by WWE scouts keep growing, as the company recruits for its European brand, NXT UK.
Comparing talent scouting now to when he was first signed by the American sports entertainment giant in 2011, the 'Strong Style Brit' believes there are definitely more opportunities.
However, speaking to Mirror Sport's John Isherwood, the veteran brawler, real name Martin Harris, said that doesn't mean it will be easy to impress the likes of William Regal, Robbie Brookside and, ultimately, Triple H.
He said: "It's not easier, (than in the past) but it is more accessible to be able to get seen now, especially with how big wrestling has got in the UK. I do think that the radar blip is a lot more visible right now.
"They have to have kind of an interest in you, I would say. So I don't necessarily think it's easier to go and get signed now. You still have to be able to deliver.
"What the guys have to do now to impress is tough, it’s still no cakewalk you know!"
Being part of WWE has opened many doors for the East Londoner and given him the chance to feature in multiple divisions across the company and beyond.
Currently Burch is wrestling on 205 Live alongside his tag team partner Oney Lorcan, however, he's also been a featured cornerstone of both NXT and NXT UK.
As with many WWE talents based in the UK, Burch has also starred for the affiliated Progress Wrestling in London, something which he doesn't take for granted.
"I hadn't worked for Progress much before my first run in FCW [WWE's developmental territory from 2007 to 2012, Florida Championship Wrestling] so I wasn't around when it really exploded," he said.
"I did a couple of shows for them, but then I really saw that company grow and develop whilst I was living in the States. So to get the chance to go back, me and Oney had a tag match, December last year, and to have that chance to go back and get that hometown welcome was amazing. I'd love the chance to go back to Progress again."
WWE's move to BT Sport in January and the accompanying deal with Viacom have been a source of excitement for talent within the sports entertainment giant.
With Raw, SmackDown and NXT appearing live on BT Sport, along with Channel 5 showing highlights of Raw and SmackDown, and Paramount screening NXT UK, the company doesn't just have a presence on subscription services, but also a place on free to air TV.
Burch says he's ecstatic to see British wrestling finally back on terrestrial TV.
He said: "It's pretty mind blowing considering the dark days of British wrestling and how there was no spotlight on it. And just you know then, you might get crowds of 50 to a 100 people if you're lucky on a good day, to looking at it now and what's happened to the scene.
"Right now British wrestling is on TV. And NXT UK is on TV, it's on Paramount. It's on a local network so it's mind blowing really just, you know from the exposure the guys are gonna get and literally new people, new fans, new households, new families can tune in every single week. It's so good.
"It's so funny for me to sit and think about it. This is a huge, massive change and it can only be for the positive. It really is an exciting time."
You can catch Burch in action on BT Sport, the new home of WWE in the UK.
