During the height of the Attitude Era, Kevin Kelly was a beloved and well-liked backstage figure who was in charge of gathering any “scoop” from artists behind the scenes and interviewing the majority of the stars at the time. He occasionally even joined Jim Ross and Michael Cole in providing analysis. Kelly is probably most known for his humorous interviews with The Rock, in which the Great One would include his naïve interviewer while verbally dissecting a variety of subjects. The next section will go through the additional tasks that the professional wrestler’s color commentator carried out both within and outside of WWE.
The first time Kevin Kelly worked in broadcasting, he was a disc jockey who played songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Additionally, he served as the host of the Plan B portion on the Voice of Wrestling online radio show. Years later, in 2007, in addition to anchoring The Big Picture audio programme on ClubWWI.com, Kelly would launch his own programme, The Kevin Kelly Show, on the Wrestling Radio Network. In 2014, Kelly began presenting The Kevin Kelly Show, a podcast about wrestling and popular culture, on Place to Be Nation.
Few interviewers or announcers can claim to have won the world championship, but Kevin Kelly can. He defeated Cheetah Master to win the ECWA Heavyweight Championship on April 7, 2001, in Wilmington, Delaware, with the assistance of Alliance of Defiance stablemates Billy Fives and Rick Fuller. On May 5, 2001, Kelly was stripped of the belt, and Scoot Andrews later defeated Billy Fives to claim the vacated title. On December 3, 2005, Kelly was honored by being inducted into the ECWA Hall of Fame.

Kevin Kelly was given the duty of serving as WWE’s talent scout since he had grown in importance behind the scenes. He observed wrestlers from developmental organizations like the Urban Wrestling Alliance, Heartland Wrestling Association, Memphis Championship Wrestling, and Ohio Valley Wrestling. In addition to creating WWE Confidential, Kelly also reviewed match tapes submitted by potential workers. He had some creative input as well, including coming up with the plot that saw Stephanie McMahon wed Triple H and create the McMahon-Helmsley faction.
