However, he didn’t always get the support from his parents which resulted him being homeless and discusses the STRAIN that was put on the relationship with his father as well as their current status. With over a decade in the business, Keith talks about being an extra on WWE programming and gives an exclusive play by play of getting beat up by Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Triple H.
