He is being himself, and has an amazing theme song. 2 important things of being a megastar. People seem to underestimate the 2nd one. Soon as you hear “L. A.” It will become just as iconic as “if you smell”
It is amazing with the fact LA Knight got himself over even with his constant losing streak on NXT and the main roster with addition of the Max Dupri model manager gimmick. That's what you call perseverance and resilience.
This is the worrying part, wwe brass(cough Vince!)Hates it when a talent got over on his own despite the upper management not wanting it.Just look at Matt Cardona, he is now king of the indies but that was a long road and he has to do it outside of wwe.
@@Emper0rH0rdeI don't think him going over Mysterio then being the only one to cut a promo on how he is the best thing in WWE and is going to be champion is an indication that the company doesn't like him being over.
Same I’m 37 and after I tried pro wrestling in real life after high school it left a bad taste in my mouth and stopped watching as the UFC took over I legit heard about this “wannabe” Rock 2 days ago and tuned into raw last night and I have to say I haven’t heard a pop like this since stone cold..but honestly the hate he is getting is silly because historically in wrestling gimmicks are reused superstar, Billy Graham, Jesse the body Ventura and hulk hogan were copies of him and ric flair was a copy of nature boy buddy rogers but no one would ever call those performers copycats it is refreshing to see this guys mic work and the Miz angle is gold because the Miz is the best “jobber” since the Brooklyn brawler and I say that with all due respect because the Miz is going to accelerate this guy to the top much faster because of his mic skills it’s almost like the rock and stone cold feud that led up to wrestlemania 17
I don't get the argument that LA Knight is old. Bobby Lashley is nearing 50 and he's doing pretty well for himself, even after a pretty bad return. I really think in 2 years, he'll be one of the top guys on the roster
I agree. Lashley is still swole as hell, and the kind of swole that doesn't scream steroids. That's natural muscle. He'd probably break my hand by accident if I went to shake his hand.
@psychotheunsane7285 My brother, he is a candy shop of steroids. A blind man can see the leg sized viens on his bicep and not only that but that is not a natural body for any guy in their 20s,30s and especially not their 40s.
@@azku age dont matter health does. look at stone cold had to retire in his mid 30s because his neck was uncontrollably growing bone spurs and both his knees were shot.
I have been watching him since his Impact days and I have always said that he will be a star to add... I think the constant losses was a setup for the WWE to build this run for him have him lose until he gets the payoff at Summerslam because for every loss he got people wanted to see him more.
His run in Impact was awesome. He went from a no name wrestler to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. He had excellent feud's with Drew Galloway (McIntyre) and EC3 and his own talk show with the hilarious Dummy button. His tag team with Scott Steiner was also memorable. They really believed in him and gave him the platform to grow.
I watched LA 3 years ago in one of the episodes of NXT, first time ever i tuned in for an episode. I immediately loved him on the mic, reminded me of segments from the Attitude era. Totally thrilled that he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. He must win gold sooner rather than later.
He's the new DDP in the sense that he got over organically and had a career renaissance in almost mid-age (LA is in his 40s, DDP didn't steam on until he was in his late 30s)
I think he’s his own man. But I’ll say this. I agree with the unique mic skills aspects of it. But otherwise he doesn’t command the area like dose two did. Specifically Stone Cold Steve Austin 😊
@@vincente4570 no but he doesn't need to. Austin is the GOAT, nobody should have to measure up to him or the Rock but anyone who gets close is nice to see.
I love LA Knight as much as the next guy but he did play a character called "El Hijo De Trump" I believe in 2 matches, one against Blue Demon Jr (he lost this one) and another luchador.

The RAW before MITB I was thinking about who was likely to win the case and looked at it from a narrative perspective; putting it on Priest made the most sense to me since the dynamic of how he'd eventually have to get the title from Seth or cash in on Finn set up a feud and implosion of the Judgement Day and an overall better story. Putting the case on L A Knight would likely have been a good short term decision, but there's not an immediate story to tell from there and pretty much makes Seth his defacto opponent as let's be real they aren't letting anyone cash in on Roman since that title is going to whoever they choose to carry the company next. I'm super happy we likely get to see Theory vs. Knight, especially if Knight continues on the line of attack that Cena started prior to his and Theory's match at Mania.
Well for Aj's case he was already the biggest star in the independent scene with many top wwe stars like Chris Jericho and Cena are his fans, which is why they are happy to put him over, bat for him and made Vince realized they need to push him as they have a megastar on hand, whereas Finn was an early trips guy.The age part is not a problem, is whether LA knight has enough supporter backstage to validate the monster pop or not
I still can’t believe that he wasn’t featured at WM39 in his home state of California 🤦🏾♂️. I really hope they push LA Knight to be the new U.S champion because he really has a lot to prove. Plus his popularity continues as his merchandise on wwe’s shop store has sky rocket as the 4th top highest selling merch’s behind Stone cold and Cody Rhodes.
I seen this iconic legend coming the moment he debuted in TNA a decade ago. He was like the comedic side of Stone Cold with The charisma & mic skills of The Rock.
I love hearing the massive pop when his music hits. It's so organic, you can see the excitement in their faces. His standard entrance gets the same kind of pop Lesner did when he first returned from MMA. I think only the Austin and the Rock get bigger pops.
As someone new to watching WWE, one of the first people I thought “now that’s a wrestling superstar” was LA Knight. I would absolutely pay good money to see this guy get a proper champ title.
I think he's gonna win the US title, probably in a few weeks, and his feuds with Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, AJ Styles,, Santos Escobar,... should all be great.
LA Knight, every pop he gets,,, literally gives me chills! It just feels amazing seeing wrestlers actually get over on their own. It's like with Zack Ryder and CM Punk. They were just so popular that it was ridiculous and both of them could have easily taken the top spot from Cena, and fans would have rejoiced in blissful happiness! LA Knight is in the right era for this. Hes 41 right, but, 41 now is like 35 in the attitude era. Bobby Lashley came back and has done it all, 2 US 2 IC and 2 WWE titles! And all after the age of 40, his first WWE title was won at 44! And LA Knights original run was so incredible, short but, man. Never shoulda put him in the Max Dupri thing. Fucking Vince McMahon that senile old man! Ugh! Thank god they see his value now. Clearly they had long term plans with Judgement Day and MITB before LA Knights push but, HHH even came out himself after MITB and said don't worry guys, his time is coming. And if LA Knight won the Royal Rumble? It would be one of the greatest moments in pro wrestling history! Buuut It will probably be Cody again, and then fans will cheer LA Knight the entire main event and boo Cody beating Roman lol.
Who would have been a midcarder in the Attitude or Ruthless Aggression eras are the main eventers today. This is not a knock at Knight, just simply the state of the industry.
@@suiken3149 Austin, HHH, and Foley, especially HHH, were rookies still up and coming when they were in WCW. This has nothing to do with LA Knight who was already a veteran performer by the time he was hired. As I said in my OP I am not knocking him, I am pointing more to the landscape of WWE, and pro wrestling in general, that performers today are not as talented as they were in the Attitude/MNW, or RA eras. The focus has shifted from character and kayfabe promo dominant to more stage theatrics, shoot promos, and extended storylines as a means for the company's management to try to sell prepicked performers to the crowd.
By this logic Steve Austin would have been a midcarder in the Hulkamania era. John Cena would have been a midcarder in the Attitude Era. Hell, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were midcarders before Hogan, Savage, Warrior etc left. It’s also a matter of being in the right place at the right time. If you look back at the Attitude era roster, someone like LA Knight would have been a major player with his mic skills. Someone like him could have got that 1999 Billy Gunn single push without getting buried by The Rock
@@ITSHIM1294 I was only referring to Knight and do not believe my op implied this was a standard to apply to every wrestler in every era. As for Knight being a top player in the Attitude Era I guess we will have to disagree. I see him having fit in well as a good supporting role to many many main eventers, but not one himself.
@@rafaelcarrera9436 When i said major player i meant like Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Kane etc. great upper carders with a shot in the main event every now and then. We know nobody could have been as big as The Rock and Stone Cold
I fell in love with the WWE as a kid with the likes of Rock and Austin .. and now, with LA Knight living up to the hype as a mega star - I watch him in action and feel like I'm a kid again and love the product even more
Hope yall enjoyed, give me 800 likes and I’ll make a video covering LA Knight’s time BEFORE WWE as well :D Yes.. the beeping between transitions will NOT be coming back ever. And no, that is not my smoke detector lol Also, do we like the border that was included in today’s video? Always trying to figure out ways around WWE’s annoying copyright system and figured that this would result in less blurs on the video moving forward. Let me know fam 💪🏼
LA Knight not winning the briefcase was honestly the right decision. He doesn’t need it to get a push. He’ll get in the title picture without it, whereas other guys actually needed that win for credibility.
I feel that its important they dont rush LA Knight's momentum to become a flash in the pan..but rather build it up properly cause the dude has the charisma to capture audiences. Now its just a matter of ensuring he does not be a momentary trend but rather an established brand..something like Rock Austin and in recent years with Cena..where they didnt need titles to stay relevant and recognized but rather their presence alone carried them through and we saw shades of that in last weeks Smackdown...he didnt even wrestle just showed up to talk for 2 minutes and he got the loudest fan reaction of the night.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋. Did chu not notice when L.A. KNIGHT was climbing the ladder by himself that it sounded like a soccer goal being made? Jus sayin boss😎
I really liking LA atm. Just like everyone else. I hope he gets the push he truly deserves. We got Cody and The Usos in the WWE champion frame, so why not LA in for the one SETH holds.
The new icon, the new generation face, the new big thing, the guy of this era, charisma, style, microphone, presence, body, move and step by step to the goal = Gold.... YEAH!
You forgot to mention Cody too. he's 2nd most over guy right now. just slightly behind LA Knight. those 2 should be the face of WWE for the next few years
The way i see it, if WWE tries to bury him. It could lead to another YES movement. Fans forces WWE to give the belt to Daniel Bryan. I can see it happening to LA Knight
Megastar 🤯 he's not even a star if u walked through the mall with a picture of him nobody would know him lol y'all internet marks are outrageous y'all will literally say anything at this point 😂
@@arthurdsouza10 sir he's not a star I hate to break it to u buddy but he's not he's a flash in the pan he started getting a lil buzz and the internet took it and blow it outta proportion like y'all always do
Give that man the IC or US title. Dude's been grinding too long and succeeding through all the sh*! WWE has poured on him. Don't put him in a tag team, give him a mid card belt to fast track him to a world title in a year or 2
We’ll if that’s the case. He should’ve won the money in the bank and then cashed in on Roman Reigns while being involved in a highly fever pitch animosity in the bloodline. Better yet it’ll make sense that Priest does it instead while eventually Finn final get his championship win against Seth Freakin Rollins. But I digress 🤷🏿♂️
@@vincente4570 Still made sense for Priest to win it given the fact he'd already held a mid card title, giving him credibility and opening the chance at a world title. But yeah would definitely be great to see Finn finally hold the Univeral title since he had to drop it after beating Seth back in 2016 due to injure, but beating Seth for the WHC works too I guess. LA Knight has shown his single talent and being majorly over with the fans so a mid card title makes the most sense to me especially given his experience and all the years he's been with WWE. 15 years since his WWE debut is a long enough wait, his time is now.
He's naturally talented, but when you act, talk, walk, wrestle, and have similar attire as Stone Cold and Rock it's easy to see why he's over. Enough time has passed, that it comes off new to young wrestling fans. SOME of the oldheads accept him because they're desperate for someone to remind them of their childhood. It took LA 20 years to get here. Earlier in his career no major company was eager to hire and push a Tribute act because Austin and Rock were still fresh in people's minds. I think he's a talented dude but his shtick is too *on the nose* for me. He doesn't need to though......Like is it really necessary to have your own People's Elbow? I would be 100% on board If he dialed it back with some of his catchphrases and other likenesses I also highly disagree about Knight carrying the Wyatt feud. He added a different element to it for sure, but just because you're doing a high energy, battle of wits style that gets a crowd hype it doesn't mean you're carrying a feud. *All the different emotions/acting he displayed and the unique scenarios he was involved with is because he was in WYATT'S WORLD* , since this feud he hasn't showed any of these different dimensions. Hes just been the hype man with the quick wit. No real dialogue or anything.
LA Knight is jus a breath of fresh air. I’m a big fan of how every time he comes out he starts his promo basically instantly. Hope he gets a big push, possibly Royal Rumble win if Gunther ain’t on the cards.
Yeah exactly just because he’s over doesn’t mean he will become a megastar, he will probably win a world title but he will end up being like dolph Ziegler
I became a fan when he was still ELI DRAKE in the NWA, that made me look back at his TNA clips, which were fantastic as well. A history of that period would be great.
You asked for the video on his time BEFORE WWE and it is FINALLY here! Just posted it today, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/2BfWeQxwVKk/v-deo.html

As for Knight being a top player in the Attitude Era I guess we will have to disagree. I see him having fit in well as a good supporting role to many many main eventers, but not one himself.
@@rafaelcarrera9436 When i said major player i meant like Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Kane etc. great upper carders with a shot in the main event every now and then. We know nobody could have been as big as The Rock and Stone Cold
I automatically rode the gravey train when he redebut as the megastar L A Knight. YEAH!!
i know he is 33% rock 33% stonecold 34% himself ...dont care , guy knows how to make it work and i love watching him .
He has the charismatic personality.... stylish... handsome...fan following gradually increasing
It sucks how we all saw that uncle Howdy had missed LA Knight by jumping off the platform apparently 🤷🏾♂️
Its a good thing he missed imagine if la knight got injured or something
@@Imkishore_12 that’s true
I fell in love with the WWE as a kid with the likes of Rock and Austin .. and now, with LA Knight living up to the hype as a mega star - I watch him in action and feel like I'm a kid again and love the product even more
Hope yall enjoyed, give me 800 likes and I’ll make a video covering LA Knight’s time BEFORE WWE as well :D
Yes.. the beeping between transitions will NOT be coming back ever. And no, that is not my smoke detector lol
Also, do we like the border that was included in today’s video? Always trying to figure out ways around WWE’s annoying copyright system and figured that this would result in less blurs on the video moving forward. Let me know fam 💪🏼
Really good video brotha!
@@MixManiac120 thank you so much fam!
@@Wrestleology 🙏
Yeah!
@@Wrestleologyalso great vid
Been away from wwe and watching him.. it does give rock austin vibes
LA Knight not winning the briefcase was honestly the right decision. He doesn’t need it to get a push. He’ll get in the title picture without it, whereas other guys actually needed that win for credibility.
With a physique nd looks like that... he is destined for greatness...
Sami’s run got me into wwe again and LA knight keeps me watching for the most part
I feel that its important they dont rush LA Knight's momentum to become a flash in the pan..but rather build it up properly cause the dude has the charisma to capture audiences.
Now its just a matter of ensuring he does not be a momentary trend but rather an established brand..something like Rock Austin and in recent years with Cena..where they didnt need titles to stay relevant and recognized but rather their presence alone carried them through and we saw shades of that in last weeks Smackdown...he didnt even wrestle just showed up to talk for 2 minutes and he got the loudest fan reaction of the night.
Been a fan since his early tna days cant believe it took this long
I was one that really wanted Knight to win MITB,but Priest winning is the better story.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋. Did chu not notice when L.A. KNIGHT was climbing the ladder by himself that it sounded like a soccer goal being made? Jus sayin boss😎
amazing vid bro!
I really liking LA atm. Just like everyone else. I hope he gets the push he truly deserves. We got Cody and The Usos in the WWE champion frame, so why not LA in for the one SETH holds.
Seth is a raw superstar, LA is on smackdown
That scene beep is driving me insane. I couldn't figure out where witness coming from at first and thought my smoke alarms batteries were going bad.
His definitely one of the only reasons why I'm watching wwe at the moment, apart from bloodline & cody (sorta)
same
@@thomas3146 💯
Was anyone else watching this, and thought the batteries in their fire detector were going bad?
The feud with Wyatt is how Knight won me over. Wyatt was tedious and boring while Knight was entertaining.
11:12 why do you keep bothering with putting the video there just to blur the entire video?
Video didnt need to be blurred until weeks after posting. It got claimed way later
How can you introduce L.A. Knight and not say Yeeaah....
I'm Hoping and Praying That LA Knight Will Win The United States Championship From Austin Theory at Summerslam!
NEEEEEED that to happen fr
Yeah!
His mic work is insane like no other 💪YEAHHHH!
Hard to get through with that chirping sound between transitions. Sounded like a smoke detector needing batteries. 😢
How has no one else said anything about that?
The new icon, the new generation face, the new big thing, the guy of this era, charisma, style, microphone, presence, body, move and step by step to the goal = Gold....
YEAH!
You forgot to mention Cody too. he's 2nd most over guy right now. just slightly behind LA Knight. those 2 should be the face of WWE for the next few years
Cody is more over 😂😂😂
That stunner was clean
LA KNIGHT IS THE FACE OF WWE RIGHT NOW! THIS IS NOT AN INSULT TO OTHER WRESTLERS, IT'S JUST THE FACT OF LIFE. YEEEAAAAHH!
he's really not...
YEAH!!!
Great video my guy really enjoyed it
Preciate you fam 💪🏼❤️
Duuude....STOP blurring the fkn footage!😡
Watch the video sooner 🤣 WWE copyrights me sometimes and its either blur the footage or have the video be blocked from being seen
LA Knight vs. Montel Ford vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Dom Dom in a solid feud will be truly epic!
I got a bad feeling with all these positive reactions wwe brass(cough vince!)will burry him as he got over even though he wasn't intended to be
The way i see it, if WWE tries to bury him. It could lead to another YES movement. Fans forces WWE to give the belt to Daniel Bryan. I can see it happening to LA Knight
No it won't, it'll be another Zack Ryder problem
@@Hail54336 Zack Ryder sucked.
Cough Triple H!
RIP Bray
How about that time, when LA Knight and Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) fought The Big Show in 2006?
Forgot about that one, didn’t Moxley have pink hair back then too
@@siftwram Looking at it, maybe late '06, since by January '07, he had pink hair. At the big show match, his hair was brown.
Why was it blurred out?
Megastar 🤯 he's not even a star if u walked through the mall with a picture of him nobody would know him lol y'all internet marks are outrageous y'all will literally say anything at this point 😂
Yeah you don't see the pop's he gets evertime his music hits.
@@arthurdsouza10He's still not a megastar. Nobody in wwe is
@@arthurdsouza10 sir he's not a star I hate to break it to u buddy but he's not he's a flash in the pan he started getting a lil buzz and the internet took it and blow it outta proportion like y'all always do
Love this guy he just had it all ! He is a true star he is a natural talker they should put a title around him
Give that man the IC or US title. Dude's been grinding too long and succeeding through all the sh*! WWE has poured on him.
Don't put him in a tag team, give him a mid card belt to fast track him to a world title in a year or 2
We’ll if that’s the case. He should’ve won the money in the bank and then cashed in on Roman Reigns while being involved in a highly fever pitch animosity in the bloodline. Better yet it’ll make sense that Priest does it instead while eventually Finn final get his championship win against Seth Freakin Rollins. But I digress 🤷🏿♂️
@@vincente4570 Still made sense for Priest to win it given the fact he'd already held a mid card title, giving him credibility and opening the chance at a world title.
But yeah would definitely be great to see Finn finally hold the Univeral title since he had to drop it after beating Seth back in 2016 due to injure, but beating Seth for the WHC works too I guess.
LA Knight has shown his single talent and being majorly over with the fans so a mid card title makes the most sense to me especially given his experience and all the years he's been with WWE. 15 years since his WWE debut is a long enough wait, his time is now.
@@banshotenin1178 We’ll see what Vince will do next now that he’s back in the fold behind the scenes 😎
@@banshotenin1178 Well they need to cash in now on his popularity ASAP don’t chu think?
@@vincente4570 Exactly
He’s also got a bit of Savage and Flair in him as well.
He’s PERFECTION.
He's naturally talented, but when you act, talk, walk, wrestle, and have similar attire as Stone Cold and Rock it's easy to see why he's over.
Enough time has passed, that it comes off new to young wrestling fans. SOME of the oldheads accept him because they're desperate for someone to remind them of their childhood.
It took LA 20 years to get here. Earlier in his career no major company was eager to hire and push a Tribute act because Austin and Rock were still fresh in people's minds.
I think he's a talented dude but his shtick is too *on the nose* for me. He doesn't need to though......Like is it really necessary to have your own People's Elbow? I would be 100% on board If he dialed it back with some of his catchphrases and other likenesses
I also highly disagree about Knight carrying the Wyatt feud. He added a different element to it for sure, but just because you're doing a high energy, battle of wits style that gets a crowd hype it doesn't mean you're carrying a feud.
*All the different emotions/acting he displayed and the unique scenarios he was involved with is because he was in WYATT'S WORLD* , since this feud he hasn't showed any of these different dimensions.
Hes just been the hype man with the quick wit. No real dialogue or anything.
Mid take
@@San-li9ml Cope take
@@SmoothSportsGamingMid take nonetheless
My cousin and I knew he was a star. When the royal rumble was in San Antonio we were yelling YEAH everywhere
he boring to me
LA Knight is jus a breath of fresh air. I’m a big fan of how every time he comes out he starts his promo basically instantly. Hope he gets a big push, possibly Royal Rumble win if Gunther ain’t on the cards.
LA Knight is not a megastar 🤦♂️
Yeah exactly just because he’s over doesn’t mean he will become a megastar, he will probably win a world title but he will end up being like dolph Ziegler
@@Temperance_XVIII hope Vince buries him more than 6 feet. 😂😂😂
LA knight theme just makes me wanna crip walk and say LA KNIGHT YEA!!
La knight is not a mega star
I became a fan when he was still ELI DRAKE in the NWA, that made me look back at his TNA clips, which were fantastic as well. A history of that period would be great.
His run in IMPACT was actually pretty damn good
No it was not he was a jobber
