He's got to understand what it is when he gets in the ring how to protect himself, how to be a storyteller and all that theatrical movement. We know his celebrity status, but in order for him to really understand the industry correctly, we got to put that all aside. 'But I'm going to train him like I train all my students. 'He's actually based out there in Atlanta but he will be coming down here (to Southern California) sometime this month to get it going,' Rikishi revealed. He said the rapper will be treated like any of his other students. Rikishi noted that Bow Wow is based out of Atlanta, but will be coming to California this month to begin his training.

I just felt like I knew this kid for a long time and again my passion for the business and for those coming in, I just felt obligated to teach him the right way.' 'Twenty-something years later, I see this tweet come up and I just put a message out to him. My father figure kind of kicked in saying I'm very proud of you and continue the hard work, make sure you do good in school and that kind of stuff. Me, I was on my way to work and I knew who he was. I think he was about 9 or 10 years old at the time, but he was already making hit records, and we just kind of kicked off.

So back in the day, I was actually coming onto a flight in Atlanta and as I was making my way to my seat in first class, there Bow Wow was. 'We have been talking and I'm very happy, let me tell you the story about how I met this kid. Rikishi was asked if Bow Wow has started training yet. He also talked about how he got linked up with the rapper. Rikishi revealed that Bow Wow has not started his in-ring training yet, but they are talking. Bow Wow then announced in mid-February that he was set to begin training at the KnokX Pro Academy in Los Angeles, which is ran by Rikishi and Black Pearl. This led to Bow Wow going back & forth with various wrestlers on Twitter.

We noted earlier this year how Bow Wow said he wanted to pursue a WWE career once his final album was released in the near future.
