Gangrel is joining Rusev at his new KECH Pro Wrestling Academy wrestling school.
On Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Rusev said: “We have Gangrel who’s going to be the other trainer as well. He is [moving to Nashville], yes. He’s a Florida guy, but he’s been screwed so many times by all these people who promise him things and he’s helped me so much. He helped this other Bulgarian kid who came from Bulgaria to wrestle, Metal. He trained him as well. So it was time for me and him to do something that he’ll be able to finally be like, ‘Hey, this is it.’ He’s great, man. His training is great. It’s very old-school training and maybe some people don’t want to hear that but he’s real. He’s going to keep it real. He’s going to teach you real. He’s not going to be like, ‘Hey, let’s do a little bit of this, a little bit of that.’ No. He’s really big on basics, and that’s what people lack a lot of the times.”
“The ring is ordered. The building is being, I already got the building. So officially should be probably mid-March, should be the grand opening. I’m really, really stoked, really excited for it,” he continued.
He also spoke about why he decided to leave AEW for WWE.
“I wanted to wrestle, man. I wanted to mix it up with the best and I know that the roster is stacked, clearly. Their roster is really stacked. I don’t remember the last time it was this stacked, but I just want to mix it [up] with everybody. I wanted to wrestle more and more and all these European tours and everything,” he said.
“I love the grind because when we first started, we were five days on the road: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, you go home Wednesday, you’re out on the road again on Friday. And that’s just how life was. As hard as it was, that’s how you get better, just by putting the work. Because every day you work different towns, you travel. And now the people can only hear about that and be like, ‘Oh, really, that’s what it was?’ But it was so cool, man. Like wrestling, you know, getting beat up, getting the rental car, driving three hours to the next town, getting the hotel, waking up, working out, doing the same thing. Just like makes you feel like a real professional wrestler. I missed the grind. I missed that. I really, really do,” he explained further.
