On a recent episode of “The Masked Man Show” podcast, former WWE NXT Champion Keith Lee discussed a variety of topics – his brand-new look, the legacy he is leaving for super heavyweights, his feud with Swerve Strickland, being AEW World Champion, and more.
Discussing a dream match he never got to have, Lee mentioned former Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle. He said,
“For as long as I could remember, my number one dream match was against Kurt Angle. When I tell you I had an entire match in my head of things I wanted to happen. I wanted 20, 30 minutes [with him].”
In regard to his influences in wrestling, Keith Lee mentioned the likes of The Great Muta, who retired just recently, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle and Low Ki. He said,
“My influence in this industry is a three-way cross, it’s a triangle, maybe even isosceles, and it is a cross between early [2000s] Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and Low Ki. Those are some of my biggest influences, and then right there on the precipice is Great Muta. Those are my biggest influences and people I love to study and/or watch.”
