They don’t critique Knight because he’s 40. He started late & got his rise late agewise just like DDP did. Guys like AJ & Bobby started in their younger years, especially AJ. People forget AJ was first on TV in the mid 90s in WCW. That’s different from guys like DDP & LA Knight starting in their mid 30s
The problem is in exactly what you said. Those guys are STILL top guys. 40 is too late to START getting your first push. Theres not enough time to capitalize and make money off of him. No katter what bodies start to break down in their 40s. Especially after 20 years of taking bumps. And yes guys like AJ, Lashley etc might be doing it but theyre also nothing physically conpared to what they used to be. They are in the twilight of their careers and atill have their spot based on previous pushes. LA Onight is starting from scratxh at 40. Youre looking at a career closer to The Boogeyman than to AJ Styles.
@@ZebraEnt "A career closer to boogeyman than AJ Styles". That ludicrous last sentence undermined your credibility big time. The guy gets attitude era pops every week, he's the number 1 merch seller, WWE's highest social media posts include him. He has the crowd in the palm of his hand. He's never had injuries and sugery. Just like in football, wrestlers are performing for longer. Diets, workout routines etc mean they can go for longer. All LA Knight needs is 3-4 years and he can be looked back on as a legend. Rock and Austin only dominated for like 3 years then bounced
@@chrisguevara3828tbf he was just too young for the vietnam war as uh hr is born in either 56 or 57 so being around 18 when it ended and being around 35 when the gulf war began which is a bit too late to begin
I always loved DDP's positive nature. He's just a guy who enjoys seeing others around him benefit. Especially in the wrestling world, that trait is unfortunately hard to encounter!
The guy is just a purely wholesome force in wrestling. If they ever build a physical wrestling hall of fame they should name an entire wing after him just for his work rehabbing the older generation. Let alone his legendary WCW run.
After growing up watching DDP, and then seeing how much DDP has changed people's lives post wrestling career, to me anything is possible when you put your heart and mind to it.
Tbh 35 isn't really old crazy thing is I'm actually 35 but people think I'm 18 or still in my 20's when they see me or first meet meet me and then when I tell them my age they look at me crazy and tell me I thought you were younger ( I have a very youthful look 😂)
“He is at the right time and at the right place” It’s so true and I like the fact LA KNIGHT is not a new young star, he spent years mastering his craft and believing himself that one day he will make it and now he is.
No one could ever ask for a better hype man than DDP. That dude is just a genuinely good guy, and the help he's provided for so many people is impressive and very admirable.
Exactly. DDP is the blueprint that gave us LA Knight. In fact, I also drew the comparisons between Knight and DDP recently. He’s doing amazing work and it is getting better and better. Even losing to Roman didn’t do anything to slow Knight’s momentum. He’s got the fans, he’s on his way to a championship. It’s just a matter of time
DDP you're a good man I never thought so before when I watch wrestling but I found out later that you helped more people than you ever hurt thank you for that
He does have an actual point of it being the right time. Knights got 20+ years of great experience under his built but no ones seen it, which means no one had the chance to get used to him or see all of the bad. They're only seeing at the top of his game, making him have a massive impact. Probably couldn't be a better time.
Ive been doing ddpy and shit has legitimately helped me so much with my back and knee pain, it is crazy. Bless ddp for helping wrestlers maintain their health.
I'm 40, and I know that I'm too old to try to enter the business for the first time right now. For someone that is already in the business, 40 is not too old to get to a main event level. Plenty of wrestlers don't even hit their prime until their mid-30's.
What pissed me off was all the people saying hes too old to get a main event push and that Damien Priest was the right call to win MITB... Priest is literally 5 weeks older than Knight. What?
Difference being that Damian was On the Main roster longer and already won a singles championship. While as far as casual viewers go LA Knight is still getting established
@@liamjohnstone1062 first of all I was probably watching wrestling before you were even born KID....second of all....is it? Go ahead and give me the time stamps where DDP says Priest is the right call for the briefcase.....go ahead...prove how right you are smart guy. 😐
And he can't control what the crowd loves and they love him. He gives you a taste of what WWE used to be when guys could just cut a promo and make you root for em.....he's just that guy
Ddp sees gold in la knight and I personally think him advocate for him and other underutilized wrestlers especially he's a legend and him putting over la knight is awesome glad he endorsed him
DDP would definitely be one of the few people that could resonate with LA Knight the most, man's a Legend and if WWE is smart L.A. Knight is a future WWE Legend in the making as well!
DDP is the man ! One of the remaining WCW guys whose still in decent shape. Glad to see him doin interviews.....it would be cool to have Tony Kahn bring DDP something special for Sting's retirement....Flair,DDP,and Sting are easily in the top 10 WCW all timers....
DDP would know about age in wrestling. He spent his early career as a manager, didn't start wrestling until he was in his mid-30s, and some of his best years came when he was pushing 40. If there's anyone who knows what a wrestler can still do when they're older, it's DD mufuggin' P.
Love DDP, he proved everything and everyone' wrong❤❤❤❤he made himself a star, big money, and a world champion and face of WCW when everyone said he couldnt❤❤❤❤
I knew of ddp since the AWA years and all his stuff with Kevin Nash as Vinnie Vegas(OMG. Nash was Vinnie and Oz.😅). Anyway, it was battle bowl where DDP started his run and the fans started to get behind him right after that. Then he became a star and his fued with Randy Savage made him a superstar.
DDP is such a nice and wholesome guy I absolutely Agree because I don't think age matters because he is great and a lot of people are being pushed who are a little younger or older than Knight
I've watched L.A. Knight for years. An he's ben as good now for at least the last 10 or so years. I just hope he gets wat he deserves. He has definitely paid his dues.
What baffles me is he's a safe wrestler and great on the mic. I've always said they need to bring back the Attitude Era promos and leave the chair shots at home.
I hope Knight's back supports him properly, the match against solo recently where he slammed solo he was clutching his back immediately, most fans didn't acknowledge it, but I hope he doesn't suffer any big injury
DDP is spot on here. LA Knifh's not too old for anything as not everyone ages the same. For a lot of 40 year olds life is just beginning, in that you know who you are, what you want, and you know how to go about getting things done. LA Knight seems to be in that stage of his life now and he shouldn't be held back because of the numbers 4 and 0.
I haven’t watched any wwe product since 2014 started watching again when punk, truth and Randy came back. But LA knight is the best wwe new comer I’ve seen in years
DDP is seriously one of the greatest human beings in pro wrestling history. I remember when he started his yoga program in the mid 00's and he would do interviews and be a SHAMELESS self-promoter, but it was something he believed in and look at all the great things he's done in the last 20 years.
Rey Mysterio is a god damn gramps and been wrestling since i was like 10 (maybe longer. I wasnt aware of him untul around 10 ) and im 39 now. And Rey is STILL going at it full force. Even got his kid MASSIVE while he was at it.

God Bless DDP
DDP is living proof that you’re never “too old” to do something you’re passionate about, if you’ve got *it* and you’re persistent, you will succeed
Came to say something similar just nowhere near as well as you worded it! Deleted my comment, agreed and have a like 😂
Victoria can also tell you that age is irrelevant on being a success in the business.
Another Dusty protege! God bless the American Dream for not letting DDP give up on himself
@@NediabloThis comment wins 😂😂
Dallas looks great
LA Knight can be a star for years to come. Look at guys like Lashley and A.J Styles, mid to late 40’s and still top guys. Give LA Knight his shine!!
yeah to add onto that even though he's 40 Knight hasn't suffered any major injuries in his career, not many professional wrestlers can make that claim
They don’t critique Knight because he’s 40. He started late & got his rise late agewise just like DDP did. Guys like AJ & Bobby started in their younger years, especially AJ.

Holy crap I had no clue Damian was that old! Whoa
@@cameronbennett4762casual
Yo wtfffff
All the guys who they snubbed LA for are almost or 40 even Santos is 39 when LA lost the US title tournament.
Same with Finn balor. I never would've known Finn was over 40 if I never searched it up

DDP🙌 Respect LA Knight Future World Championship He Deserve It...Keep Going Brother....
That was WCW not WWE
@@madrileyZA He's referring to LA Knight not DDP
🙌💎💥
After growing up watching DDP, and then seeing how much DDP has changed people's lives post wrestling career, to me anything is possible when you put your heart and mind to it.
DDP started at an old age and climbed to the top more quickly than the younger wrestlers that were around him. 💪 Salute to you both!
Sort of, you forget he was just managing in like 91-92. It wasn't until 97-98 that he really started to take off on the wrestling side of it.
Tbh 35 isn't really old crazy thing is I'm actually 35 but people think I'm 18 or still in my 20's when they see me or first meet meet me and then when I tell them my age they look at me crazy and tell me I thought you were younger ( I have a very youthful look 😂)
Real recognize real
LA Knight deserves the push he's finally getting. He can use the mic and he can go in the ring.
When DDP says you got something he means it! He is living proof of "you ain't too old for nothing!"
He ain't too old for nothing. He is the man right now.
“He is at the right time and at the right place”
It’s so true and I like the fact LA KNIGHT is not a new young star, he spent years mastering his craft and believing himself that one day he will make it and now he is.
Class act. Respect.
Ddp is a legend, he's got a lot of love for his fellow man ❤👊💪.
It’s good seeing legends not hating for once. DDP’s resume as a good person is insurmountable.
No one could ever ask for a better hype man than DDP. That dude is just a genuinely good guy, and the help he's provided for so many people is impressive and very admirable.
Batista was 36 when he won his first World Title. It's never too late
Except batista isn't an attitude era fanboy playing cosplay in the Miz's ring
@@Snyper1405 You're gonna have to take that back.
DDP and LA Knight are both legends and deserve all the respect the fans can provide
I'm praying for a title push for LA Knight, regardless of which title.
He should be the one to take the US championship belt off of Logan Paul. I have a feeling that WWE is gonna give him a push soon.
@@Loe_JistHe wasn’t at WM for no reason. WWE knows what they’re doing and know he’s championship material
Exactly. DDP is the blueprint that gave us LA Knight. In fact, I also drew the comparisons between Knight and DDP recently. He’s doing amazing work and it is getting better and better. Even losing to Roman didn’t do anything to slow Knight’s momentum. He’s got the fans, he’s on his way to a championship. It’s just a matter of time
LA Night is making wrestling great again. DDP doesn't get jealous he just tells it like it is.What a stamp of approval from the legend DDP.
DDP, YEAH!
DDP you're a good man I never thought so before when I watch wrestling but I found out later that you helped more people than you ever hurt thank you for that
The first comment is correct. If you have passion you are not too old to do what you love! DDP was spot on about this. LA KNIGHT YEAH!

Ive been doing ddpy and shit has legitimately helped me so much with my back and knee pain, it is crazy. Bless ddp for helping wrestlers maintain their health.
DDP is a legend of legends! I admit I had some tears swell up when he won the belt back in the WCW days
LA Knight actually is a breath of fresh air for the WWE and it's fans
How can you not love DDP? When I was a kid and obsessed with WCW, Sting and DDP were my favorite. And he’s such a solid dude.
The goat on the mic and a awesome movement in the ring 🙏
And hes helping men get into shape and beat addiction, I love you DDP ❤❤God Bless you Bro
Ddp being his advocate is awesome hope he continues to vouch for him and as well as hbk needs to push for him to win titles
He's 40?? Damn he looks good for his age. I could have sworn I thought it was in his 30s.
I'm 40, and I know that I'm too old to try to enter the business for the first time right now.
For someone that is already in the business, 40 is not too old to get to a main event level. Plenty of wrestlers don't even hit their prime until their mid-30's.

Two of my favorite people
DDP looks amazing.. always loved him and his stuff in and out of the ring.
DDP is the man YEAH
DDP is the man after watching his DDP yoga documentary it blew my mind on how he saved a lot of older wrestlers from self destruction
And he can't control what the crowd loves and they love him. He gives you a taste of what WWE used to be when guys could just cut a promo and make you root for em.....he's just that guy
Im with DDP 1000000%. LA is legit. Hes perfect on the mic , perfect in the ring, fans LOVE HIM, & hes got that look.
For anyone that nervous about getting older, I hit my stride in my late 30s and I'm now in my mid forties
DDP is my FIRST example to show middle aged people that it's never too late to start, and that you are NEVER too old to add value to any art form!
Ddp sees gold in la knight and I personally think him advocate for him and other underutilized wrestlers especially he's a legend and him putting over la knight is awesome glad he endorsed him
Let me talk to ya. DDP knows YEAH

DDP is such a nice and wholesome guy I absolutely Agree because I don't think age matters because he is great and a lot of people are being pushed who are a little younger or older than Knight
DDP understands LA KNIGHT position perfect. 🎉BANG🎉
I think ddp being his manager would be awesome ddp could do for wrestlers and also work with him onscreen as his longtime manager
I graduated from The Wild Samoan Training Center at 39 years old. Been wrestling ever since. I’m 44 now in the best shape of my life…
La knight is WWE's version of DDP in WCW give this man the title in 2024
DDP always get respect 💪💯
DDP is a motivational master
DDP is a true angel in the wrestling business.
Love DDP real man who has real respect for wrestling
I always think of DDP when i see the DPD vans lol
I've watched L.A. Knight for years. An he's ben as good now for at least the last 10 or so years. I just hope he gets wat he deserves. He has definitely paid his dues.
I could see DDP giving the same motivational speech to his pizza delivery guy.
Ddp speaking facts on la knight
DDP is an inspiration. Will be like him at his age
La knight is a bad ass we need more wrestlers like him ...dx, nation of domination, new age outlaws, four horsemans, nwo, evolution,etc....😢
LA and DDP would have been a great tag team
DDP is a true legend
My respect for DDP is much stronger now.
LA KNIGHT is a dream come true🤩🤩🤩

GIVE LA KNIGHT ALL THE BELTS! HE'S PURE MONEY!
As long he stays healthy and doesn't loses then momentum. He good
LA Knight is one of those guys that marks really wanted to get a push, like Cesaro, but he surprisingly actually got one.
