Please welcome my Guest today. Keith Myatt
Hello Keith,thank you for this interview.
Can you please tell the fans who you are?
My name is Keith Myatt and i have been a pro wrestler for twenty nine years and i live in Newcastle Under Lyme,Staffordshire England.
Keith ,how do you come to the decision to be a Pro wrestler?
Ive always loved wrestling from an early age when i used to go to my local hall with my Mother and Father and growing up it was great to see the colourful characters in the ring and the great battles that they had.It was something that i always wanted to do and im very lucky that i have had the chance to do it for this long.
You wrestle over 25 years but who trained you at the beginning?
I was trained by an old school World Of Sport veteran named Wildman John Wilkie who was a very tough guy.In the early days of training it was very tough and i used to come home many times cut,battered and bruised but it never stopped me wanting to be a wrestler.My first few professional matches were with him for Joint Promotions which was the biggest promotion in the UK at the time which was run by Max Crabtree who was the brother of Big Daddy Shirley Crabtree who was there main star.
You told me that you maybe comes to germany to wrestle this year.your first trip
t germany?
If all goes well i will be coming to Germany to wrestle this June.Ive always wanted to wrestle in Germany as they have some great wrestlers and alot of my friends have wrestled over there and they say many good things about the country and their wrestling fans.
I saw on you Facebookside you in a shirt with the name on it M.O.B. ,can you
tell us whats this means?
Im in a tag team at the moment with another wrestler named Ruffneck and MOB stands for Mean Old Bast**ds we rely on our experince together and have been in some great matches recently.
you are a wrestler but you also worked i TV,thats right? On your Facebookside is
a photo you like a Zombie for a musicvideo.
I also work as an extra doing film and television work which i enjoy and i was made up to be a zombie for a music video which was fun.Ive played many different roles.
When you get inside the Ring what is your Favorite Rule,Heel or Face?And why?
I prefer to work heel because i love to get the crowd going and entertain them and i think i look like a heel also so that helps.Also in the past i have been face and also done comedy.
When i watched your photos i think you like the hard way inside the ring,right?
In the last few years i seem to have done more what you call hard way but i am stll as happy doing technical or old school round matches which i did for many years.I like to wrestle many different styles.
2003 you wrestle against Jake The Snake Roberts, what can you tell us about this
fight and Jake and you?
Wrestling against Jake was one of the highlights of my career i learnt so much from him not only in the ring but talking to him too in the dressing room,He has lots of knowledge about the buisness and ive also been lucky too wrestle guys such as Dave Finley,Mark Rocco,William Regal and Johnny Saint,
In your time as wrestler you had the pleasure to meet some Stars like
Gangrel,Jimmy Snuka,A.J. Styles or The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Which of "the big
Once" in this buisness is the one who really surprised you as person?
Ive been lucky enough to meet some great wrestlers,Gangrel is a great guy and Ric Flair is exactly the same as you see on your tv screens.There have been very few that i have not liked.Also Jerry Lynn is one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet.
You also had a moment that you meet Luna Vachon,Rest in Peace Luna, what can you
tell us about her?
I really miss Luna she was a great character who was very kind to my son Ryan who also wrestles.We had lots of fun when she came to the UK to wrestle and when i was on holiday in America i went to a show where she and Gangrel were wrestling and they made me and my son very welcome,She had a unique look and could really work in the ring.
When you look in the future is there anything you want to do in wrestling or a
match you are dreaming for?
One of my dreams was to have a father and son tag team which i have done many times.Also i would love to do an old school match with my buddy Steve Corino and perhaps wrestle more in Europe before i hang my boots up.
And when you look at your time in Wrestling,over all the years, what was your
personal highlight inside the ring?
Personel highlights would have to be wrestling World Champions such as Rollerball Rocco and Johnny Saint also wrestling World Of Sport star Alan Kilby for the British Lightheavyweight Belt and being Head Trainer and bringing young talent through the ranks.
Where do you wrestle now?
I still wrestle all over the uk and Ireland for many companies.
Where can a promoter contact you for bookings?
They can contact me at keithmyatt@hotmail.com for bookings.
And what do the men behind the wrestler when you not stands in the ring?
When im not wrestling im a family man who has a loveley wife Liz and two grown up sons Scott and Ryan.I love to travel and i like to drive and spend my holidays somewhere hotter than the uk lol.Also i like to watch most sports like football,rugby,cricket etc.
At the last something to say to your fans ?
