To fans not familiar with the wrestling scene in the United Kingdom, the name Noam Dar may not mean much but to those in the know, they would suggest you pay attention once he competes in The Cruiserweight Classic.
As the youngest competitor in the tournament at just 22-years-old, he will have a lot to prove. He also has a lot of pressure resting on his shoulders as he is set to represent a number of bodies including Scotland, Israel and the UK wrestling circuit where he made his name.
On being ready
As mentioned above, Dar will be the youngest performer out of the 32 men that will be competing for to win the tournament which begins this Wednesday on the WWE Network.
As a young wrestler he says that he was 'anxious' when he first made the international voyage to the United States from the United Kingdom but after settling he is now 'excited' to get started.
He said "I was anxious at first but being here and being able to settle for a couple of days I’m starting to really get excited."
Now settled and raring to go, Dar says he has already set the wheel in motion on creating a game plan for his upcoming bout, and plans to put it into action from 'bell to bell',
He said "I am feeling pretty confident for my match now like I said I've been here a couple of days got settled down [now I am] starting to assess what needs to be done and I am ready to do the bit that I love the most Bell to bell."
On representing Scotland
Despite being a youngster, Dar knows just how important this competition is, and is hoping to make his home nation proud amongst the great number of competitors also aiming to do their countries proud.
He said "To represent Scotland in this tournament is overwhelming, obviously [there are] so many great nations are being represented so much fantastic talent."
Despite there being a number of nations being represented, Dar is also on a mission to create a talking point about the UK's wrestling scene labeling it as 'fantastic'.
He said "Scotland has a fantastic wrestling seeing as does the UK so to represent Scottish and the UK seen it means a lot to me."
On being the first Israeli to compete in WWE
With this competition being the first of its kind, it is not alone in being first, as Dar will also be accomplishing a first in the competition as he will become the first superstar from Israel to compete in the WWE.
On being honored with that accomplishment, he said it was 'fantastic' to be able to say due to the lack of wrestling scene existing in his birth nation.
He said "For me that is mind blowing there is not a very prominent Israeli wrestling scene so I can understand why so to be able to say that is just fantastic and I know a lot of you are back home in Israel are really supporting me."
On what he is hoping to achieve in the tournament
With his age being somewhat of a disadvantage the odds are obviously stacked against the young competitor, but regardless of how he does in the tournament Dar is looking on the bright side and hopping to gain as much 'experience' as he can.
He said "Well for this tournament I want to make sure I gain as much experience as I can, like I said I am around some fantastic talent and I am also looking enough to be the youngest competitor in the tournament.
"For me it really all is win-win, of course I want to get to the final and I want to win this tournament but if it does not work out like that and things kind of get the better of me then this learning experience is going to be invaluable."
With so many performers and fans maintaining dreams of one day becoming a WWE superstar, Dar is no different as he says that someday, here is where he wants to be.
He finished with "of course down the line this is the place I want to be since day one."
