It all came full circle for Keith.
The 10-year veteran Bryan Keith began his in-ring career training under Booker T at the Reality of Wrestling promotion in Texas. Present day, Keith is one of the head trainers at the promotion’s wrestling school.
Reality of Wrestling became a topic of conversation during Bryan’s appearance on The Be Someone Podcast. He spoke about being one of the head trainers and mentioned that he’s appreciative that Booker and company did not take offense to him ultimately deciding to venture out on his own and carve his own path in the business.
Keith stated that he tells R.O.W. students to take what they learn and use it to grow themselves elsewhere, but always bring it full circle and return that knowledge to those at Reality of Wrestling.
Here I am, even at Booker’s still… I’m happy that they didn’t feel no way about me leaving, you know? Going out, because that’s what it’s there for. A lot of people take it as… That’s exactly what it is (a springboard). You go there, you learn, you get the tools then you go and you use the tools… They still allowed me to come back. Here I am, one of the head trainers there at Reality of Wrestling and I’m able to teach the younger guys now, ‘You just take the tools that you have here and you use them out other places and you become a star other places but you always come back and bring it back’ and I think it’s just cool for me to be ‘The Bounty Hunter’ that I am, that I created and for Booker to respect that and be like, ‘Let’s still continue to do work with you’ and stuff like that. Not only continue to do work with me, I’m now shaping the next generation of Reality of Wrestling stars. The star I was once wanting to be at Reality of Wrestling so, it’s a pleasure man. It’s crazy.
Over the weekend, Bryan Keith competed twice at Ring of Honor’s Final Battle pay-per-view. He earned his way into the vacant ROH World Television Championship match.
It was a Survival of the Fittest match that Kyle Fletcher emerged victorious from. To hear a review of that pay-per-view, head over to this link.
