WWE Raw's Rusev and Gangrel have opened KECH Pro Wrestling Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, with orientation now underway at the school.

The name KECH is the Bulgarian word for professional wrestling, nodding to Rusev's Bulgarian heritage. The school opened March 1 and offers training for children, adults, and experienced wrestlers.

Rusev on what the school offers: "We're opening a new pro wrestling school for adults and kids. Real pro wrestling training, from fundamentals to character work. Also, we'll have advanced training sessions for experienced wrestlers only. If you ever wanted to train like a pro, now is your chance."

The partnership runs full circle. Rusev himself originally trained under Gangrel at the Knokx Pro Wrestling Academy in California before signing with WWE. Now Gangrel is his co-trainer. Rusev said he pushed for Gangrel specifically after watching him get let down by others in the business.

"He's been screwed so many times by people who promise him things. And he's helped me so much. 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."

On Gangrel's coaching style: "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."

DM "TRAIN" to kechprowrestling on Instagram for enrollment information.
