I love Low-Ki! I met him at an FOW show back in 2003-2004. I asked him if I could get a picture after the matches and we talked for a few minutes. Extremely humble and cool to chat with.
Low ki is really well spoken. Everything he said had thought behind it, and not once did he say something you feel like he didnt mean. MLW has been on a roll lately
Their WarGames match from earlier was pretty damn good. If they had production value of WWE, it might be comparable to WarGames from this year or last year.
Except his ego the size of the room he is in which is why he did fuck all in TNA and WWE he’s a melark for himself which is why he chills in indie feds
Court Bauer must be pretty crazy or damn risky to book both Teddy Hart & Low Ki in his promotion.. i mean both got a huuuuuge ego and aren’t easy to deal with and yet still, both are currently champions lol
@@CtheDead209-zt8tj That's that old school Puerto Rican in him
I love Low Ki voice he is amazing
He didn't seem like the asshole that people have perceived him as. I mean, I can totally see it, not gonna lie. But Low Ki seems like a cool guy.
maybe he has matured since his early days...
Guys who are driven and really care about something tend to be labeled as such.
Watching Kenny Omega's interview about Low Ki was really interesting. Basically that Low Ki takes the business and himself so seriously, at times he's exactly the kick in the ass that the business needs, and at times he's just a very difficult guy to work with.
@@gst013 Every time I hear about Low Ki, all I can think about is that time he knocked a guy out with a wheel kick and proceeded to try and get all his moves in before finishing the match.
Ki's an idiot through and through. Shouldn't be near a wrestling ring after that stunt.
He also refused to job to Cesaro.
Anyone can seem nice on camera
Listening to Low Ki speak about pro wrestling makes me respect the game and him even more.
I agree
IKR
Do not respect him. He is a psycho abusive ex. I am physically handicapped because of a traumatic brain injury he gave me. And he used to slap me around in front of people. He is not a good person.

Lowki is a class guy!!!! He was nice enough to take the time to take a picture and talk to me on December 13th in Miami for MLW. Chris as always your interviews are top notch. Got a fan in me now
i love it when pro wrestlers have a unique perspective.
he'll probably always be "controversial", but Low Ki broadens the spectrum of what is is to be a pro wrestler.
Low Ki out of character seems a cool , chilled guy , nothing like his in ring persona , Chris once again your showing younger up and coming interviewers techniques of how to let the interviewee talk , props dude 💯🙏
Chris just won make low-ki laugh.
Victory!
I didn't see that coming lol
@@ChrisVanVliet*hands you the title and raises your hand*
He should sing chocolate rain
(Woo 118!)
I would like this multiple times if I could.
LMAO 100%
What an incredible interview. Low Ki was asked all the right questions.
Thanks man! And thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏👍
I love this interview. It is between.two very well spoken and intelligent men. Low Ki has given viewers a history of wrestling history. He is not all out mean to those who who gave him opportunity. Chris on your interview skills. I love the fact that you have authentic question warms my heart. You conduct your interviews in nice, quite, comfortable environments.. You are not in loud bars. If you are at an event. You wait till things are quiet and being cleaning up. You make people want to answer questions. Way to go Chrism.. can't wait to see what 2019 brings. Happy New year to my favorite UA-cam star.
This might be the kindest compliment I have ever received. Thank you very much Melissa!
My favorite wrestler HANDS DOWN. Intense, disciplined, well-spoken, and Uber athletic...
Dude is still killing it 20+ years in...
I don't care who you do interviews with because I know ur gonna kill it each and every time.
I appreciate that. Thanks Derron!
@@ChrisVanVliet no problem. I'll be watching. Hope u accomplish your goal. Even if you don't, i rather have quality than quantity
exactly
I know there's a lot of stories about Low Ki, but when you have Eddie Guerrero telling you that he likes to wrestle you because you can hang with him as well as Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit, you have to be damn good in the ring. That's like being an amateur filmmaker and Steven Spielberg telling you that you're just as good as he is.

The lack of um and ah and like is the lack of a social crutch. The man knows what he wants to say, has the intelligence to express what he feels, and the confidence in saying it regardless of repercussion. It's refreshing to see.
Good interview. Low Ki doesn’t watch ROH and WWE but yet he worked for both companies
And Was fired from both of them for having a bad attitude and difficult to work with.
17:18 I LOVE Low-Ki's mentality...
He is NOT a Sports Entertainer... He is a Professional Wrestler
Kyle Aaron lmao it’s fake so what’s the difference
Lazy Eye Boi shut your lame behind up.
A Pimp Named Slickback 33 uhhh *No*
Low Ki is very good I love him ❤️❤️
@@plshelpmeawkdough clown
Hes 100% right about wwe product they literally gave us finn balor vs corbin for over a month same match every raw and ppv
@Hey Zeus How do you know that a section people didn't have the mindset of, "Corbin vs. Balor, again? Skip"? I can speak for myself when I say that after a while, I stop investing time in the endless rematchs of Bayley/Sasha vs. The Riott Squad
How dare they book a month long fued Lmao remember the sting hogan build up 18months how about taz vs sabu 18 months also the most successful period of wrestling but what do they know there billionaires and your not and there’s a reason why.
@@CtheDead209-zt8tj You can make money and still have illogical stories and vice-versa. For example, a bad, illogical movie can still make money. And you bring up two feuds that were treated with care. Unfortunately, Hogan and Sting's payoff wasn't great.
Wwe is a soap opera that is in a wrestling setting.
LO KI is a BEAST in MLW.
Low Ki is definitely on my top 10 in ring performers of all time. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇵🇷
You can learn a lot from Low-Ki a true professional it’s gold to hear him talk about pro wrestling so much respect his positive questions about everything so much respect for the one world warrior
So smooth to watch/listen to. Probably the best interviewer around.
I love how humble he is. He gave a lot of history and knowledge about the business. He definitely telling the truth. He really spoke from the true wrestling fan's point of view. That is why he is so good.
Lovely bloke, Low Ki gets my respect. He's a champion in life.
Awesome interview Chris , Low-ki is a TRUE pro-wrestler ! Better that all we see in WWE
I don’t know about all but yeah he is really cool
low ki seems like a humble just dont piss him off.
Well done on the WWE deal mate! So well deserved
Having him as a trainer at WWE PC would fix a lot of problems.
Never heard him talk till now. Helluva voice. He has a great job to fall back on instead of tearing his body up taking bumps.
Low Ki looks like Tito Ortiz before Tito got cauliflower head.
Enjoyed the interview as always, Chris!
Cauliflower head? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Low Ki is one of my favorites to watch, and congrats on getting the WWE interview.
Lo ki has the ultimate voice
Low-Ki is the goat. I like pro wrestling, he's a A+ in my book. I wonder who else he or other pro's consider more sports entertainers then wrestlers tho...
Lo Ki is a badass little guy with a big deep voice.
Low Ki has always represented what's missing in today's pro wrestling. Although he may lean toward being too snug (once in a while!), his style from Day 1 has been to be authentic w/what pro wrestling is supposed to be. NXT's figured this out, to an extent, but it's still the element missing that makes Raw and SD feel too bland and waters down its characters, e.g. Devitt in BC in NJPW vs Balor of today. Thanks for the interview, Chris!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Totally agreed. Great call !!!
a pro wrestling fan for more than six decades, i appreciate low ki's truth telling, especially regarding wwe.
This guy in another universe is WWE Champion
Low Ki knows, He can SEE IT ON HIS PHONE!
I got to see Low Ki at a small FCW show at an Orlando armory. The main event was a 3-way between Low Ki, Heath Slater and Justin Angel (Justin Gabriel/PJ Black), and they put on a helluva' match. I thought all three had great potential, but Low Ki was simply amazing.
“No it doesn’t bother me because I’ve seen the quality of champions they’ve had” 😂😂
Low Ki vs Kurt Angle would be great with pure wrestling talent.
Low Ki vs Cody Rhodes
Wasn't a huge low Ki fan.. but after this. RESPECT
It's hard not to respect him!
keep the amazing work up man! can't wait to see what you bring in 2019!
@@48jhj yes i agree
@GHOSTED damn no kidding! New found respect for the guy. Still not sure about his locker room behavior like Aries, though
My 1st Loki interview I've seen. Not sure why I nvr looked one up before but I can't imagine one being better then this. PLENTY worth the watch!!
"There's so many people who are wanting to enjoy this, but it takes them away if it becomes a repetitive pattern that they can recognize and it takes away their ability to have fun" Man you hit the nail on the head with that one. Hey anybody ready to see AJ vs Bryan for the fifth time in a row? Yay!
any wrestling fan wont ever get tired of those 2 in the ring together
@@Project862006 Yeah maybe if wasn't consistently happening. The first one on SD live was a classic. The 2nd one was dope too, branding Daniel as the new champion. The rematch just made sense I guess. Then he gets another shot..... Tedious.
@@JPeyo The main reason why the 3rd match didn't need to happen (or right away) is because at TLC, Bryan won purely clean. The other reason is that with all the interaction Bryan has had with Ali, including being pinned by him, it seemed like Ali would get a shot. Not saying he had to win, but that seemed like where the story was heading.
I seen many Interviews about Lo Ki being a Negative person.But your focus and Discipline can be mistaken for that if they themselves are not Focused and Disciplined.Respect to you Sir,just became a fan.Great Intervirw
God Low Ki is an amazing person. And he tries to make wrestling an old school competitive thing which is amazing. Im glad he is in another wrestling
I always like Low Ki. He always impressed me.
I feel like with Low Ki's personality, I'd get along with him swimmingly. Quiet, well reserved, and serious about his passion.
AJ Styles & Low Ki, since the late 90s to early 2000s, are the 2 wrestlers I've always wanted to see in the WWE. Incredible in the ring. Styles has been doing great, but unfortunately Low Ki was ruined. They made him a jobber, gave him female sponsors, made him wear pink, etc. All because of that TNA namedrop. But fans still cheered him.
I'm glad AJ is finally making the big money in the WWE, but I'm sad that he's been watered down. But that's sports entertainment
Yes Man is he watered down? His move set’s essentially the same, and he’s had his heel run.
What Low Ki just said needed to be heard I have all the love and respect in the world for this brother.
Great interview
Great interview, Very intense and very intelligent, Low Ki is one of my favorite wrestlers and MLW is fun to watch because of guys like him and Teddy Hart
Very Underrated!!!
I had the honour of speaking to Low-Ki during his trip to Australia about his work with MLW. A true gentleman & dedicated to his craft. One of the few veterans today still performing at such an elite level, MLW will keep growing with his contributions.
Much respect for Low-Ki.. This guy really respects and understands pro-wrestling history. His not that type of guy who does shit (weird story + wrestling) to entertain people.. these days a huge part of industry has been evolved that way.. His devotion towards wrestling is clearly noticable..
Don’t forget that he loves being stiff and injuring people
To have had that lowki-mortal Kombat cross breed promo was beyond perfect and they could've cashed in on a lot
Ki seems so kind and respectful here.
MLW Heavyweight Champion, and #1 Hitman cosplayer ... LowKiiiiiii
Hey Chris thank you so much for that interview with lo key, I’ve always felt that he was from the true tradition of wrestling. It was so refreshing!
Before AJ retires, I would love to see him and Kenny and him vs Low Ki one more time. Just to see how seasoned those two have become, the in-ring psychology from both of them and how well they've worked in the past was always special. Not to mention Kenny vs Low Ki as a special match.
It's great to watch back and see this interview again
Low Ki will sign in ALL ELITE WRESTLING 👍
Good mindset to place him
The Phenomenal One if that even exists
+The Jay Spank it exists more than people know you exist 😂
Low Ki is sign with MLW
That would be f'n great if he does.
"I'm not going to comment on wwe"
5 seconds later
"It's repetitive and not pro wrestling!"
Such a Class Act and a professional. For those saying he "wasn't marketable" or "a gold mine" in WWE... well... guys like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson would not have been MAIN EVENTERS if Vince had NOT LISTENED to the fans. Even a creative genius like Vince has had his "Duke The Dumpster", "Bastion Booger", "Giant Gonzalez" and "GoobleyGooker" characters that barely drew flies.
Always enjoyed Low Ki since he started in smaller promotions. NXT under Paul would really benefit from his talent and ring leadership.
Low Ki is the best. he has been one of my favorites for 20 years. never liked his wwe run or character (no shock) but everywhere else is great. His voice and Damian Priest's can be their own voice over company
Damn your good. I never really was sure about Low Ki. I knew he was a great wrestler but just wasn't sure about him as a person but honestly, after watching this, I think he and I would get along great. I am suddenly a big fan. You have an easy straight forward way about you that really brings the person you interview into focus.
I work with him every friday doing security...you wont find a nicer guy
How the hell did I not know you had this interview!?
WWE had a great hand and talent with him & they WASTED him, pairing him with LayCool. Didn't help him coming in at the wrong time. He would KILL it now with either NXT or 205. The ORIGINAL NXT format was a JOKE. NXT, Triple H is putting PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING BACK into ENTERTAINMENT.
If he resigned with WWE now, I wouldn't mind seeing him against Ricochet Mustafa Ali and a few others....
But REALLY great interview!!! One of the MOST PROFESSIONAL interviewers I've seen in a long time....
Chris congratulations on working with the WWE! You deserve it.
Anyone know if Low Ki wrestled Zach Saber jr? If not that's a match I would like to see.
Id want to see low ki and Bryan Danielson one more time
@Heriberto Vivas one stiff match.low ki sure keeps it 💯 like Benoit did all his career before he turned into a murderer
Always learning something when I watch you low-ki interview
That's a damn fact!
WWE made him look like a goofball 😂
wwe makes everyone look like a goofball
But at least he won the 2nd season of NXT
His horrible attitude didn’t deserve good booking
ikr
@@MegaMijit Facts
Awesome interview Chris
Didn't expect to listen to this entire interview, but Low Ki's voice and how well spoken he was drew me in and kept me watching.
Chris Van Vliet is the GREATEST interviewer in history hands down GOATED🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely tremendous interview...Happy New Year Chris. May you have a wonderful, full filling 2019!
Happy new year to you too!
agreed, MLW has a high quality product. Love it. Great year to be a wresting fan!
Great interview! Chris you’re a great interviewer! Keep it up. Loved the ice breaker in the beginning that lead into the interview.
Don't mess with this dude, he's a bad ass.
Low Ki have the best entranced music in MLW
Low ki the professional The low wolf big fan since WWE and TNA impact wrestling love from portmore 🇯🇲
Low Ki should def do voiceover work in anime, bonafide hit / 💲
I can imagine him as One-Punch Man
Italian/Puerto Rican in the house!!!
I like this guy. Total Alpha.
His Impact run with the suit and cool music was something else
I'm assuming you're talking about the "Hitman" Gimmick where he came out dressed as Agent 47. That was one of my favorite runs of his, the other being early Low-Ki days of Triple X
@@soulessshadow5356 most definitely!
Much respect to Low ki. Very well spoken and he has a strong presence!
Great interview and such a well spoken man. Man takes his craft seriously and even when Jim cornette said that with one roll and a cartwheel kick low ki knocked his opponent clean out legimately one time or as he put "colder than a bankers heart" you know this man ain't no joke
Low Ki should of been a world champion when he cameback in the hitman gimmick
20 years first time he's shown personality great interview 💯
WoW!! Congrats on getting to work with WWE. I'm so looking forward to seeing who you are going to interview there. Keep up the great content.
Well said Lo Ki.....Im a big fan of skill as well and dude you are and has always been one of the best
Low Ki needs to watch NXT especially the Takeover shows.
I saw him in JAPW in Rahway, NJ a few times. RIP JAPW.
Fantastic interview as always. Low Ki is so underappreciated the man's damn good at his job. Also congrats on working with WWE
Yooo thats dope news! Thats crazy, congrats man...u, of all people, deserve it
Thanks Jay!
Man Low Ki is well spoken and sounds educated I don’t know why I used to hate him before he sounds like a laid back and chill dude
Awesome, Chris, another great interview like always. Lo Ki is interesting, congrats on being able to interview on the wwe ppvs
Thanks bro
Low Ki does not seem like a bad guy. Honestly seems like a nice dude.
Everything that Lowki said, seem spot on!!! I love how he described the difference between "Pro Wrestling" and "Sports Entertainment"!!! Because he is right!!! I miss Lowki in IMPACT but I understand why!!! I've never saw MLW, but if he's there, then it has to be pretty good!!!
known him for years, but first time seeing an interview. he a really likeable person.
