Keith Lee on AEW Dynamite debut and Limitless philosophies

The latest guest to appear on the AEW Unrestricted podcast is a recent promotional debutant, Keith Lee.

Lee shares his reaction to the huge pop he received from fans as he made his AEW Dynamite debut, the significance of his entrance theme music, the meeting with Tony Khan that solidified the decision to come over to AEW, as well as what it means to “forward march” and be “limitless.”

Also, the former WWE NXT/ NXT North American dual champion speaks to the whirlwind week of massive moments in his life, including his wedding to Mia Yim and his All Elite Wrestling debut. Plus, he talks about his football career, his love of anime, his time in indie wrestling in Texas, as well as what he learned from both Jim Ross and William Regal.

Keith Lee Quotes

Thoughts on the overwhelming fan reaction Lee got for his AEW Dynamite debut:

“It had been a few months since I had heard such a thing, and I really wasn’t expecting it. So immediately as it was, and as it stood, it was exciting. Just a really warm, touching moment.”

The specific underpinnings of his #ForwardMarch and #Limitless philosophies:

“Some people play a role on social media. But Keith Lee in reality has never been some character. (They) are both very closely related. It’s really just about keeping your eyesight forward and marching through whatever it is you’re going through. If you’re having a tough time or something gets you down, finding a way to stand back up. That’s kind of what the Limitless moniker really is about. A lot of people think it’s, he can do flips and all these different things. But I’m not going to be able to do those things forever. The mentality and mental fortitude is really what I’m about.”
