#1 Wrestling legends inspired Lee

Keith Lee

Just when it felt like he was never going to be a top star, Lee managed to get a fire lit under him. Lee was able to talk to some true legends of the wrestling industry in WWE just when it felt like the local promoters were too much for him.

Talking to Dusty Rhodes, William Regal, Jim Ross, and Joey Mercury allowed Lee to finally get out of the local Texas scene and move on to better things like the NWA shows and later in Ring of Honor. He would become a mainstay in ROH and be in a tag team with Shane Taylor, where Lee was able to achieve great things.

"I was about ready, but it took a few great minds in wrestling, and some great mentors and good words of encouragement. During that time I'd say the two most prominent voices would be Dusty Rhodes and William Regal that really gave me a fire and kind of lit it under me."

Over the next few years, Lee wrestled all over the world before finally being signed to NXT in an incredible move.

It's amazing to see the journey of a Superstar, who at one point felt that he would never be able to achieve his goals.
