What does R-K-O Stand for?

Three or four years ago, When I first came up with it, Vince told me he wanted a name for it by the end of the day. RKO are my initials (the -k- stands for keith). What can I say– I was pressed for time!

How Did You Learn It?
I had a good vertical leap, So I figured I’d incorporate that into my move. The first night I planned on using it, I broke my foot. So during my time off from the ring, I watched Diamond Dallas Page and Johnny Ace tapes to learn how to fine tune it. When I first used it during a match, I had never practiced it before.

Why this move above all others?
I wanted to pick something I could do to everybody, No matter how big they were. I can do the RKO to Big Show or Rey Mysterio–Size doesn’t matter Thats Why my move The R-K-O is the best finisher in Sports Entertainment.
