Kevin Kelly wants to give back to the wrestling business after an abrupt exit from All Elite Wrestling. The former AEW commentator was let go on March 8.
AEW has not publicly addressed the reason for his release, but it occurred just days after some controversial social media activity. While he remains a free agent, Kevin Kelly will host a virtual workshop for wrestlers and sports broadcasters.
Starting in mid-April, I’ll be teaching virtual classes for wrestlers who want to improve their promo abilities and announcers from all sports who want to take their broadcasting career to the next level,” wrote Kelly on X.
Kelly shared his email so that people interested could gain more information about the group courses and individual training.
The opportunity may be attractive to many, as Kelly has valuable knowledge of working in wrestling. Fans may recall his successful tenures with WWE, Ring of Honor, and New Japan Pro Wrestling before joining AEW. His broadcasting experience may also be helpful for people trying to work outside of wrestling in other forms of media.
Positive Reactions To Kevin Kelly’s Next Career Plan
The reaction to Kelly’s announcement has been positive, with other wrestlers sharing their experiences attending his classes. Independent wrestling star Anthony Greene was among those who reacted to Kelly’s new plans on Twitter and recommended learning from him.
“As someone who has done multiple courses with Kevin. I can vouch that this is definitely worth your time and money,” wrote Greene.
Another independent wrestling talent, Keith Youngblood, approved Kelly’s teaching on Twitter.
“I was fortunate enough to attend a seminar with Mr. Kelly when
@MattTaven
had his school in RI years ago.
One of my favorites to date. Incredibly informative and fun! Take advantage of this opportunity if you can,” wrote Youngblood.
It’s unclear how much it will cost to attend a class with Kelly. However, the positive responses and his career background could make it appealing to those looking to advance their wrestling and media careers.
