Around 2004-2005, he was booked to lose to Homicide (who trained him) in a random Indy match. He argued it into a draw. That told me everything I needed to know about Low Ki.

I remember one time at an indie show, Low-Ki went up to a wrestler and said "I heard you've done battle with the one known as Delirious. What can I expect from a combatant such as him?" And the guy just responded with "Uh, do you mean what spots does he like to do?"

It’s funny, before starting this video I had just watched Low Ki bury a couple of former TNA higher ups on a podcast because he said they were talking bad about him.
I remember his signing with WWE and thought he'd go far, but then I heard that he was released. Over the years, I'd hear about him from time to time, but didn't know he was a menace.
Low Ki is one of those people most people over the past 20 years who have worked with him have said he is difficult to work with because he wants to book himself and the matches out exactly as it is in his head. The problem is he then has a huge amount of disrespect for his opponents as a result as he comes across as someone who only wants to make himself look good. But he would have you believe it's everyone else that is the problem.
Another great review dude. Two bits of trivia: 1) WWE absolutely buried him especially when he won NXT season 2 as even his defender Josh Matthews thought he would lose giving Cole a high school girl high five and everyone attacked him after winning 2) That ego is there as he is the only wrestler to appear in OTT Wrestling without offering some form of meet and greet.
Don't get me wrong, his attitude backstage is bad, but his WWE run is Vince McMahon, just being Vince McMahon. Low Ki wasn't his first talent he buried, and wasn't his last.
His stint in the WWE I actually with him on that. Vince literally said he had no plans on pushing him anytime soon so he left early. Many other wrestlers have done that as well
It saddens me to see this when I trained and worked with him, he was a good dude when we were in the dog house, and sometimes when I would have a match he would look after my son when he was a baby, i guess times had change

There are just so many stories of this guy being an absolute ass bag. My favorite is the time he was at some indie show in Jersey (I think) and his opponent got hurt in a freak accident. But Low Ki apparently thought it was all a ploy by the bookers to make him look bad, so he started throwing an actual hissy fit in the ring and had to be shoot carried out by security, all while kicking and screaming like a child who doesn't want to leave Chuck E. Cheese. There was also the time he was doing his crap Hitman cosplay, was directly told by New Japan bookers not to do it, and he did it anyway, was immediately fired and has not worked for them since. Another time as you showed, he shoot concussed a guy at the start of a match, and instead of showing any concern, continued to huff and puff around the ring like a caveman for three minutes, before kicking the guy in the head a few more times and hitting his finisher on him

@@dwightyboy5324 lmfao New jack isn't fake dumbass. he was a former licensed body hunter who got tired of wrestling life and death with people so he joined wrestling. Heyman was the one who wanted him to do only hardcore matches because he would get paid more.
There were a lot of talented guys in the late 90s to the early 2000s that didn't see any spotlight. Height was the problem. AJ and AD are the only two short guys from that era that lasted long enough to not only work for WWE but also be main event status. Obviously, Im not including Lucha. AJ and Bryan aren't those kinds of wrestlers anyway.
I downloaded a match back in the day on Kazaa or some P2P program back in the day. Low Ki vs Amazing Red. That match blew my teenage mind and I always thought if he came to WWE he’d be a huge star. Unfortunately I later discovered why. If only he’d have been humble and took better care of his opponents.
Watching his matches, it bites so bad that Low Ki's his own worst enemy with an inability to stay out of his own way and burning bridges everywhere (even though it's fine that WWE wasn't his endgame and him being adamant about not wanting to go back there).
Oh i have stories. The always on? Fact Was at reborn completion in 2004, the night he returned to ROH. Back then there were after parties and fans who knew the right people could go. A few of us were in the rex plex upstairs and we stopped to look at a blown up poster and low ki came out the door next to it. We all welcomed him back and he told us to go away before he "fucking kills us" Next month im working a show with him on it in georgia. Before i got booked they announced Ki on the show and who he was working and i was like on paper this sounds like an amazing match. Right after i got booked promoter posted on fb without saying ki's name that he didnt want to work his scheduled opponent because he wants to get re signed by a major promotion and he doesnt think that guy is on his level and passed along a friends info to try and get them booked instead
Low Ki never appealed to me. I always felt he looked like Gollum. That most stories told are of him being quite full of himself and rather entitled. Like the Enzos, Rybacks, Lio Rush' and so many others, he seemed to buy into his own hype.
I'm glad u saw that side of him. Most go off stories which are based off things they know nothing about or bad days. He gets hot quick and thinks he knows better at times...but he is not always horrible
I talk to him personally on Twitter and on IG when he had one. always open, respectful, and positive. Nothing negative from any interactions with him. Course I was always polite to him
@@kaodik He doesnt think hes better but he does see some people don't deserve certain spots and at times messes up. The jeff hardy match was an example as Jeff victory road PR disaster was still fresh in ppl minds.
@0fficialdregs I didn't say he think he is better. Just he knows better. He has had disagreements with promoters or pll who were basically his boss. But yes I agree with u
It's unforutnate that Low-Ki/Senshi never became a big star in TNA or WWE. I watched his interview on Cafe de Rene (Rene Dupree's podcast) and he sounds like a cool and honest person.

@@0fficialdregs you can’t be serious defending him 🤦♂️all that shit is on him and he knows you know that also taking a joke too serious since you bother to reply is crazy 😅🤣
He’s had a wild career. I first saw Low Ki wrestle at a local show on my street back in 2000. At the LIWF Doghouse where Homicide was the head trainer. He had face paint and his Muta inspiration was even more apparent. I remember a year later I saw him on WWF Jakked or Metal losing to Essa Rios in a quick squash. As a 12 year old, I thought it was so cool seeing him there.
I grew a hardcore TNA guy and I never liked him there I thought he was bland, and even his moveset TNA had a bunch of guys like that but were a lot better 😂

My favorite is the time he was at some indie show in Jersey (I think) and his opponent got hurt in a freak accident.
But Low Ki apparently thought it was all a ploy by the bookers to make him look bad, so he started throwing an actual hissy fit in the ring and had to be shoot carried out by security, all while kicking and screaming like a child who doesn't want to leave Chuck E. Cheese.
There was also the time he was doing his crap Hitman cosplay, was directly told by New Japan bookers not to do it, and he did it anyway, was immediately fired and has not worked for them since.
Another time as you showed, he shoot concussed a guy at the start of a match, and instead of showing any concern, continued to huff and puff around the ring like a caveman for three minutes, before kicking the guy in the head a few more times and hitting his finisher on him
lmao he didn't return to njpw because of that 2011 bad weather season. Also nearly every company in japan has mafia attached to them
lol that last dude was a booker who was talking shit and ki laid him out.
With his attitude, he should have entered MMA, not pro wrestling.
He’d get his ass kicked. He’s a fake tough guy.
There's not a big market for midget MMA.Kind of a little fan base.
@@gmac673 he's like New Jack and Bob Holly levels of wannabe tough guys. Easy to be a tough guy when you're attacking someone who won't fight back
Low ki is still wrestling and operate a wrestling or Martial Arts school with recent WWE signee, Stephanie Vaquer who trained a bit under Lowki mentorship.
@@dwightyboy5324 lmfao New jack isn't fake dumbass. he was a former licensed body hunter who got tired of wrestling life and death with people so he joined wrestling. Heyman was the one who wanted him to do only hardcore matches because he would get paid more.
Another example of someone with amazing talent who got in their own way.
why short wrestlers have a complex like austin aries
Who are we to deny the son of Tom Servo? Now, if it was the son of Brain guy thats a different story
2:09 what happened I need context
He is allegedly a pdf file
He tried to meet an underage boy online but essentially got Chris Hansoned
Let’s just say they caught a predator rob Feinstein
@@wyclef4351was this Kaval that did it or someone else? I’m confused
@@shawnleonidasRob Feinstein, former owner of Ring of Honor
There were a lot of talented guys in the late 90s to the early 2000s that didn't see any spotlight. Height was the problem.
AJ and AD are the only two short guys from that era that lasted long enough to not only work for WWE but also be main event status.
Obviously, Im not including Lucha. AJ and Bryan aren't those kinds of wrestlers anyway.
I downloaded a match back in the day on Kazaa or some P2P program back in the day. Low Ki vs Amazing Red. That match blew my teenage mind and I always thought if he came to WWE he’d be a huge star. Unfortunately I later discovered why. If only he’d have been humble and took better care of his opponents.
Watching his matches, it bites so bad that Low Ki's his own worst enemy with an inability to stay out of his own way and burning bridges everywhere (even though it's fine that WWE wasn't his endgame and him being adamant about not wanting to go back there).
Oh i have stories.
The always on? Fact
Was at reborn completion in 2004, the night he returned to ROH. Back then there were after parties and fans who knew the right people could go. A few of us were in the rex plex upstairs and we stopped to look at a blown up poster and low ki came out the door next to it. We all welcomed him back and he told us to go away before he "fucking kills us"
Next month im working a show with him on it in georgia. Before i got booked they announced Ki on the show and who he was working and i was like on paper this sounds like an amazing match. Right after i got booked promoter posted on fb without saying ki's name that he didnt want to work his scheduled opponent because he wants to get re signed by a major promotion and he doesnt think that guy is on his level and passed along a friends info to try and get them booked instead
plenty of TNA, WWE and AEW former wrestlers think and behavior that way. hes the first to say it out loud
Low Ki never appealed to me. I always felt he looked like Gollum.
That most stories told are of him being quite full of himself and rather entitled.
Like the Enzos, Rybacks, Lio Rush' and so many others, he seemed to buy into his own hype.
This guy was a bigger enemy of himself than Austin Aries ever could be.
Aries still working so is lowki.
We need a part 2 to this video
Low QI would have been more accurate
Even NJPW said nobody's ever truly off the table for being brought back... Except Low-Ki.
5:03 Even the ref is so done with Ki’s shit apparently😹
I forgot this dude existed
I meet Loki a few times and he was such a cool guy. He’s was very positive in every conversation and talked well about the other wrestlers on card.
Ask him about Johnathon Gresham 😂
I'm glad u saw that side of him. Most go off stories which are based off things they know nothing about or bad days. He gets hot quick and thinks he knows better at times...but he is not always horrible
I talk to him personally on Twitter and on IG when he had one. always open, respectful, and positive. Nothing negative from any interactions with him. Course I was always polite to him
@@kaodik He doesnt think hes better but he does see some people don't deserve certain spots and at times messes up.
The jeff hardy match was an example as Jeff victory road PR disaster was still fresh in ppl minds.
@0fficialdregs I didn't say he think he is better. Just he knows better. He has had disagreements with promoters or pll who were basically his boss.
But yes I agree with u
Listen to him on Cafe de Renne, he’s just about himself , a tough guy 😅
plenty of wwe wrestlers are like that
It's unforutnate that Low-Ki/Senshi never became a big star in TNA or WWE.
I watched his interview on Cafe de Rene (Rene Dupree's podcast) and he sounds like a cool and honest person.
Seriously, if you wanna see how Low-Ki is like as a human being, search his interview on Cafe de Rene. You won't regret it.
He might be too honest. Every job has an element of diplomacy and politics
I saw that interview too. I like Lowki but he seems a bit full of himself.
Don't let that attitude fool you. They're only nice to who they want to be nice with aka just friends
Lowki was always a star in TNA. the fuck you smoking lol
@@0fficialdregs buddy, what are you smoking?
Either you are high or you are illiterate.
I feel bad for hyping him up back in high school lol. Dude got IWC hype and thought that was all he needed 😂
I still hype him up, his matches are better than most of the shit we got today.
I watched his interview with Renee Dupree. Delusional does not even come close to describing this mad man
talking about vince?
Hes just an angry little guy
sounds like a lot of guys in the comments
@@0fficialdregs Nah, just you.
@@B.-T. lmfao far from it child.
@@0fficialdregs Brother you're in nearly every comment thread acting like everyone making fun of Ki and his shit attitude is a personal affront to your very being.
Lol i just saw the drawing and thought hey that's Low Ki former MLW Champion
He’s the goat of self sabotage
Next you should do the opposite video:
The most loved WWE wrestler backstage ever.
Low Ki vs Teddy Hart
Its angry mr clean
🤣🤣🤣👍
low-key sorry I meant lowki its honestly just stupid on his part it wont be Automatically sunshine and rainbows when you just joined or weren't even there for more than year
well sucks to be you that his wrestling name is bankable. Shows what you know about branding
@@0fficialdregs huh ?
@@brrndo9257 I'm mocking your username because you're mocking him
@@0fficialdregs you can’t be serious defending him 🤦♂️all that shit is on him and he knows you know that also taking a joke too serious since you bother to reply is crazy 😅🤣
@@0fficialdregs as if anybody gives a fuck about a dude that is mentally a man child on inside in 2024
I guess you could say he wasn't keeping it very Low Ki....ha
I think it came out later that he actually wasn’t let go upon request. That he was just fired.
He’s had a wild career. I first saw Low Ki wrestle at a local show on my street back in 2000. At the LIWF Doghouse where Homicide was the head trainer. He had face paint and his Muta inspiration was even more apparent.
I remember a year later I saw him on WWF Jakked or Metal losing to Essa Rios in a quick squash. As a 12 year old, I thought it was so cool seeing him there.
Still baffles me how you can have a wrestling tournament when it’s scripted 😂
It's like playing fifa
I grew a hardcore TNA guy and I never liked him there I thought he was bland, and even his moveset TNA had a bunch of guys like that but were a lot better 😂
Dang a lot of cool wrestlers were in ROH. I’ve never watched RoH but i was recognizing a lot of the names they mentioned.
If he really wants to act like a martial artist he should pull this at local mma gyms
Low ki, Teddy Hart and Austin Aries have all had their careers stifled due to ego and bad attitude it seems.
He was Maven Huffman before having a snicker bar. Your not yourself when you are hungry….
You're*
