#2 Keith Lee's WWE tryouts almost made him quit wrestling
Keith Lee was able to get a WWE tryout back in 2008. Back then, it was a very different WWE where appearance was something that was definitely judged. Also, Lee admitted that his microphone skills were non-existent at the time and he didn't have much hope of being signed.
Despite this, officials were impressed by Lee and talked about it with him after the tryout. It helped him to remain motivated, despite not being signed and then got another tryout five years later in 2013.
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
The tryout that he failed in 2013 saw Keith Lee almost quit wrestling. The failed tryout coming on the back of having to deal with the local promoter made him feel that he had made no progress.
"I didn't get signed again. I was actually pretty ready to hang it up with wrestling, because between the atmosphere of Texas and then not being signed ... really, all I knew was WWE. I didn't experience other things very much, because of my solitude."
Thankfully for the wrestling business, Lee would still continue.
