More Than Hype are the trio of LJ Cleary, Darren Kearney and Nathan Martin. They have been mainstays in OTT since 2018 and have spent much of 2019 showing their stuff in all the big UK promotions. They have made appearances in ICW, Fight Club Pro and PROGRESS as well as many others.

The trio has their own unique styles as Cleary is the showman, Psycho Nathan Martin is the strong style enthusiast and Kearney is the complete mix of tag team, traditional and submission wrestling, partially due to time training with Lance Storm’s Wrestling Academy.
