Kelly does have some experience. Check out some of his time in wrestling:

Opinion: Sure why not. There are a lot of wrestling promotions throughout the world and adding in another one can make for some great moments. I’m not sure who well the promotion will do but Kelly does know more than a few names throughout the industry. Hopefully this is a big success for him and turns into something special, as you never know where something might lead.
