Bryan Keith calls learning from Chris Jericho a cheat code.
Bryan Keith sits under Chris Jericho's Learning Tree on AEW TV. --After almost a year with Jericho, he's opening up about what the partnership and learning from Jericho and the different legends in AEW mean to him.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Keith gushed about the experience, praising Jericho and referring to himself as a sponge absorbing all of the knowledge afforded to him.
"It's been amazing. It's something that I didn't see coming when it first happened. I was, you know, not only surprised, but excited for it all. I like to pride myself on just being a student of the game. I'm a sponge. I'm always listening, always trying to take in what others are saying, respecting these guys and knowing that they've been in the business for a long time, for a reason, and they made it to the highest level for a reason, and that's exactly what I am around him. I'm just a sponge, man. I'm always listening to what he's saying, taking into account what he's saying, trying these things out," he said. "It's even better because I'm able to speak with him and then have the match or the experience that we're doing and immediately try what he's putting out there and then getting that immediate feedback.
"I'm definitely taking every opportunity, every chance I get to hear something, always. Not just from him. There's a plethora of veterans in AEW with knowledge and experience, and it's a blessing and an honor to be around them all and be able to take all that in," he continued. "So specifically, when it comes to Chris Jericho, ear to the ground; every single thing he's saying, I'm taking in, and just trying to consider that and apply that to everything I'm doing. It's like a cheat code, really."
Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke about wanting to wrestle Samoa Joe in a one-on-one match. Read more here.
