Is LA Knight the most over star in wrestling? Let us know in the comments.
I wouldn't say in Wrestling but currently in WWE absolutely the pop he got Monday was insane. YEAH
I wouldn't say most. But there's definitely a very noticible organicly grown interest in him from the fans.
For my money, Roman Reigns is the most over star in wrestling. However, LA KNIGHT is the most over underrated star in wrestling and I am amongst the majority that want to see the trigger pulled for him to be a main eventer
YEAH!
Yeah! Is the new What?
Some folks may not realize that Batista was pushing 40 during his main event days in WWE. No one cared because he was over and was putting on good matches. Age shouldnt matter as long as the crowd is loving him and his ring work is solid. All the best to LA Knight.
He was 36
DDP is like the poster boy of this
Bobby Lashley was 44 during his WWE Championship Reign
No one cared? Batista was over during the mid-late 2000s.
You are right. But it’s big business, and they want to build stars that’ll be around for more than a few more years.
I hope I’m wrong. I love this dude. Push him to the moon
he is in top shape, looks great, sounds great, great promos, great moveset, safe worker AND great personality.
safe worker
YEAH
He does the WWE style so well. he’s it!
@@christopherchuauhang4829 His wrestling skills could use a touch up, But only a couple small touch ups, otherwise his wrestling skills for his character is 100%
He's basically DDP crossed with The Rock. Why would you not want to push this guy to the moon?
I don’t watch much wrestling anymore, but I really hope this guy gets a push. When you look at the reaction he got when he first got to the main roster, to the reactions he gets now, it’s crazy to see and hear how he got himself over in a short amount of time. That’s not an easy thing to do in today’s times.
sadly the way things have been going, it seems like this guy is doomed.
Idk WWE has a history of screwing them over look at zack Ryder dude was over as hell in 2011 till they buried him they tried to do with Daniel Bryan 2013 they give his gimmicks to the big show they did it to Wade Barrett with his bad new Barrett hell they did it to rusev with his rusev day so I can’t trust WWE LA knight
Facts @@Notoriouswrestlingfan12314 The blessed thing about Daniel bryan was he had a name for himself before NXT ryder didn’t hes makint a name as cardona
@@Notoriouswrestlingfan12314also “miro” is more over then “rusev” like i agree its crazy
@@onelunglarry he just beat mysterio on smackdown clean what are you on about ?
LA Knight is the 1st wrestler in 15 years that i look out for his matches and promos .. He is the reason im watching WWF again
He lost a lot of matches in the process. You do know that right?
This man has so much charisma and it’s infectious 😊 I really hope LA Knight gets his time to shine and become champion soon!
LA Knight has the personality, charisma, promo skills and wrestling skills. WWE need to give him a push and make him a WWE Champion or World Heavyweight Champion. I’m really hoping WWE doesn’t screw him up like they had with many others.
Is he a good pretend fighter?
@@jerrythomas4457YES WHY?
@@jerrythomas4457Dummy, yehhhhhh!
@@jerrythomas4457 Are your CGI stupidhero movies pretend?
@@thecastleofenlightenment2604YEAHHHH
WWE is incredibly stupid for not pushing this guy. He should easily be one of their top 5 stars.
Not WWE Vince
Put down the crack pipe.
@@jetguy7 I try but Vince keeps handing it right back to me.
Please don’t let this man get injured. It would be an absolute tragedy. Maybe one of the biggest wrestling tragedies in recent memory that wasn’t a death.
His money in the bank match is already waving.
Let’s not even call that rn😭😭 mans better win or they just wasted tf outta a once in a blue moon, talent. Don’t see natural talent as much anymore that has it all fr.
It feels as one of these instances where there is no way WWE is able to mess this up. I hope LA Knight gets the push he deserves!
Remember cody ?
Never underestimate WWE's ability to drop the ball or miss the moment. It's happened before. However, I do have more faith in Triple H leading the week-to-week creative than Vince.
@@drtake1354 The way the company is handling Knight really makes me think Vince is still in charge. They're doing the classic Vince thing where someone is getting over by themselves with the fans and Vince is taking it personally instead of seizing the moment and pushing him when he's white hot.
@johnnysupreme5718 We will have a clear picture of what they think of him at Money in the bank. My sense is that he and Logan Paul are being setup to have an ongoing issue, possibly beyond MITB, which is great because WWE is heavily invested in Logan and LA will be elevated from getting to share that spotlight with him.
Vince will always fuck it up.
I saw clips of him in Impact and was interested. He came off as a star even though I've been watching wrestling for 20 years and never heard of him. He came to NXT i loved it and my kids enjoyed him. He came to WWE and even my father (casual fan still) noticed him and was intrigued. I hope he becomes champion and a main eventer
Must be so difficult and heartbreaking for some of these wrestlers. For some its their one shot at the main roster and they force these terrible ideas on these guys. So glad Knight was able to get through and make it to the other side:)
Or they get judged harshly based on their age rather than their ability and charisma and marketability. Stupid.
For real something as simple as the max dupri gimmick could have ended him but he fought through it
Props to whoever gave the signal to revert back to his LA Knight persona.
LA Knight deserves a title shot one say for sure. He will get there 💪
LA Knight needs to cut an epic promo after he wins money in the bank
Even though his age is hit 40 but his physical health is still in his prime since he never had any surgeries or injuries
Also his Wrestling style is probably one of the safest (in my opinion) in wwe right now. So i expect with that style he can have a longer career.
Yeaaaaaahhh
@@gredinainggolan4010 it's safe yet looks effective. People n3ed to get over flips and dives it's played out ad has been for a looking time
@@Sky_Blaze I mean look at Death Triangle; they're insane with their risky spots and people still love it.
@@The_OneManCrowdno they're not just the same lame niche group that doesn't get actual wrestling business. If you watch aew the pops have become quieter and quieter over the years at some points it's so silent I think the TV is on mute. Stop defending bad crap. You're why wrestling has sucked for almost 2 decades..low standards.
DDP, Austin, Goldberg, Batista and many other big names hit their peak well into their 30’s to 49’s and are still huge names even today especially Austin, Goldberg and Batista.
How about DDP being just as big a name because of his Yoga program and saving lives?
@@FirstNameJ0hn totally man.
The chuckle when he mentions Max Dupri lmao 😂😂
When he's finally inducted into the WWE HOF, Vince McMustace will demand he goes in as M A X Duupriiii!
LA Knight is so much fun to watch. From the promos to his matches. Must see tv.
I saw Eli Drake @ Future Stars of Wrestling on Boulder Highway in Henderson back in 2011. The show was in an old two-bay garage with folding chairs and about a hundred people. Now look where he is it's crazy lol. Ya'll gotta give him serious credit though this guy never stopped training, never stopped learning, never stopped improving knowing it would someday pay-off. Good for him.
He’s the man. And this is inspiring. His grind to get where he is
I'd love to see LA Knight get pushed. His potential is huge.
They need to do it as soon as after Summer Slam going into Survivor Series. Jus a suggestion 😎
We need LA Knight! He is far better than a one-off blacklight match. He has a significant run in him
The fact that he lost at Royal Rumble and got more over than a returning Bray speaks volumes
3:07 grinding through despite hearing people you love most sometimes not believing fully in your vision hurts but not giving up on it and arriving is sooooo worth it! Makes me respect LA KNIGHT even more because it takes an incredible amount of willpower and mental strength to keep going!
The fact they had a Wrestlemania at Sofi stadium this year and didn’t have an appearance for LA Knight is mind boggling.
Definitely a Vince McMahon decision
Why do people keep saying that crap? La knight is the exact type of guy Vince loves lol
This all lays with hhh
That London crowd is going to eat them alive if LA Knight doesn’t win that briefcase.
No they didn't
They booed the shit outta Damian Priest winning the match 😊
Well they didn’t
As long as they give him about 5 good years of great storylines and matches that’s enough for all of us and for him I’m sure and will guarantee him a future HOF spot
I took my family to Wrestlemania this year all the way from Brisbane Australia and oh man, the LA Knight popularity was REAL AF. YEAH chants everywhere. The best was in the mens room, a dude ripped the biggest fart and said YEAH right after. Fucking every man in the room laughed like nothing else, biggest pop of the night. haha
LA Knight is THE future of WWE! YEAH!!!!!!
LA Knight getting cut when Night 2 was constantly cutting video packages to fill in time was robbery. Him & Lashley deserved it.
the underrated thing about him is that he went through every company TNA NWA you name it and he stole the show in his own segments even if he was not world heavyweight champ that's why he has that support cause people have seen em everywhere be good so they know he can be a 10/10 in WWE as well. It's the aj styles support to an extent. Now that he is on WWE they are going back and if you know him from NWA then you see his tna shit and you go dam that good too.
I see more interviews with LA Knight than any other WWE superstars. It's crazy
He needs to win Money in the bank. He's so over it's crazy.
L.A. KNIGHT! YEEEEEEEEEEAH! 🙌
Growing up i loved wwe but like alot of people i moved away from it and lost interest. However i always see clips of LA Knight on twitter and love it. Hope he reaches the top seems like a good dude and his promos remind me of the old days.
So awesome seeing Shaun finally get a run. So crazy to think his wrestling journey “started” in the backyard with me and my friends.
Elaborate? 🤔 also how dare you break kayfabe
This is top notch without being pushed getting all the interviews left right
There's only one man who can defeat LA Knight and that's 👉L👉A👉Knight
🎤YEAHHHH!
Considering the mic skills of LA Knight
I'd love to see a rivalry between LA Knight and John Cena
They can literally go back and forth and squash each other on mic
Plus that would give La Knight some limelight too(being in a mega-match with John Cena)
Hopefully we can see this at SummerSlam this year
That would be god tier
Really don’t care the the modern era but something about this dude screams attitude/ruthless aggression era! Love him on the mic!
It takes a special kind of guy to go through an awkward Bray Wyatt storyline and still be over like a MF
In my opinion.......idc if you're 19 or 55......if you can still put on great matches and still talk great on that mic....then you can still be a top guy
He has only gotten better over these past few years. Championships await.
0:52
_a subtle_ *yeah!*
this guy is a golden goose that wwe needs to put gold on
It’s not his age that concerns me… Tis’ the horrendous booking conflated with WWE’s outright defiling of stars that organically get over .
LA Knight deserves at the very least a solid push
It's an absolute crime that LA Knight wasn't at Mania... I hope he wins MITB. He needs to win.
Welp….. about MITB…..😢
The Megastar, YEAH!!
More deserving than 99% of the roster...yeah!!
He really deserves to be a world champion and the top guy of the company he's a gem he's truly a Megastar ❣️
FINNA WATCH THE MENS MITB JUST FOR MY BOY LA KNIGHT
YEAHH!!
still by far 1 of the best NXT blood feud between LA Knight and Cameron Grimes with Ted Dibiase involved and the million dollar belt as a cherry on top ~ kudos YEAH !
Hope he wins MITB ! Sure I get it if Logan wins but this guy deserves it more!
This guy is it man. I’m glad I started watching again recently. I hope I get to see this guy wrestle. Idk when they’re coming to Vegas again but maybe I’ll travel just for him.
Some guys just have the it factor, forget age, audiences want believalibility, charisma, and skill, LA Knight has all three, if he doesn't win money in the bank, it would ruin his momentum, it's easy to say he needs the win more than the others, but you have a star on their hands, hopefully the right decision will be made, would love to see a feud with Seth Rollins.
I really liked hearing his thoughts . This was very interesting . LA Knight is the best . 🔥
This guy is just GOLD amazing wrestler LA Knight YEAH!!!
I haven’t watched much wrestling since 2008 except occasional RUclips looks with Mark Henry’s championship win, Ric Flair’s retirement, Edge’s, Fiend and LA Knight
I haven’t enjoyed a wrestler this much in years. Reminds me of the good old days
Really liked this and getting his background... really pulling for him... YEAH!!!
LA Knight vs MJF would be spectacular
Been a fan since of la. Knight and Eli drake in tna amazing performer
He is megastar. LET ME TALK TO YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH. MY MAN IS LA KNIGHT. HE DESERVES A BETTER.
LA Knight rules, needs a monster push
LA Knight may have only been on the WWE “main” roster for roughly a year now…
But they need to strike while the Iron is Hot.
This guy should be in the World Heavyweight Championship scene.
Because he brings the energy, the charisma, and the promos. Desperately needed at the main event scene.
It's the promo's. Yeah !! ⚡
Please bring more of LA knight
WWE routinely has 40-50+ main eventers so why not LA Knight? He probably has a good 5 year window where he could run on top. He has “it,” reminds me of prime Rick Rude crossed with the Rock.
#AND NEW MR. MITB L.A. KINIGHT... YEAH!!! I really wish I could've seen more of his TNA work but omg he's pure gold in every aspect imo and really believe he would make an awesome Heavyweight Champion!!!
Man he's such a great interview
Glad to see a guy from my small town in Maryland make it big. YEAH
I love la Knight he is one of my favourites and I hope he wins the briefcase and has many more wrestling years ahead of him, YEAH
I first heard him as Eli Drake on NWA Powerrr, I've been a fan since. The best of luck to LA Knight at MITB.
LA Knight is the reaso I started watching wrestling again.
Thank you.
I saw his potential back in NWA a few years ago. He was my favorite.
Everyone loves LA Knight except Vince
wow he's 40, i would have thought late 30's, LA Knight kicks ass, he should be the intercontinental champ.
Late 30s and 40 is like 2 years out
Lol same difference
@@T4SelNiNO haha yeah you're right, what was i thinking
@@aaronwells2267 true
He just seems the coolest guy. I've loved his work dating back to his time in Impact.
It’s definitely between LA Knight and Cody Rhodes as the most over in WWE for sure
LA Knight is the most crisp promo and charismatic and talented star I have ever seen and i've been watching for 25 years.
Its actually normal for a wrestler to get over in their late 30s and early 40s like DDP Batista Stone Cold Steve Austin Hulk Hogan and even Roman Reigns now..
but i think because of the impact made by guys like The Rock and John Cena who made it big in their 20s..we've kinda had this mindset that once a guy is old and hasn't made it its over for them...LA Knight still has time and he can definitely become big YEAHH
I love the smile of LA, looks so genuin and heart-warming
He may just be the next legendary star and I believe can be considered one of the greatest when it’s all said and done in the future
Fun to watch
I did like mmm I like Mansor and t bar and maxine is drop dead. You leading them was dope! Ur the best bro
Excuse my ignorance...Eli drake in tna?
Yeah!
That's was his Austin in ECW moment
Dummy, YEAHHH!!!
More then anything what comes across is that’s he’s a good humble guy he is, which to some people might sound ridiculous but I see it. He knows he’s the main character of his life and even if the rest don’t see him that way it doesn’t change him
L A Knight. We love you ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I Acknowledge you the peoples tribal chief
Thank you BRAY WYATT for giving the much needed push to one of my favourite LA KNIGHT
If this man doesn't win MITB. I have this horrible feeling there gonna give it to Logan, so he can show it on impaulsive n what not
Jobber Paul didn't even qualify kayfabe lol
IF LOGAN WINS WE WILL RIOT DAMN IT!!
Tell It!!!
Even though Knight says that he's healthy and all in all despite his age. I'd still give props to the guys (higher ups) who gave him a chance to transition his Max Dupri gimmick back to LA Knight persona. Age really is a huge factor in that company.
It is😕😏
Look how legendary the zayn/uso storyline became in just a year.. If hes pushed soon we will see many great moments from LA
Bobby Lashley vs LA Knight should've happen at WrestleMania 39.
The problem is, it’s kind of now or never for knight, they can’t hold him back and start a push in 5 years because he’ll be in his mid 40s
My man looks 26 tho LA Knight looks so young but getting older I hope this man can get a title before retirement
Im glad he came mic work is gold and he can definitely work period.
Future Mr. MITB and FUTURE CHAMPION L-A-KNIGHT! YEAH!
It's too bad Knight never got his big break earlier in his career when he was closer to his prime. He's a good promo, still solid in-ring and has some years left but for some reason he was constantly passed over in terms of not being signed to a big fed.
LA Knight is on the same level as the Rock, dude deserves the limelight 10 fold. Hope he gets what he deserves in this industry
L.A. Knight, Eli Drake, regardless what anyone calls this guy, he would be a great representative as a TOP guy for WWE.
I truly don’t recall a wrestler being this over in a long time and all respect to la night it definitely came by surprise. Good for him! He’s over!
So happy for this dude. He just starting wrestling 2 years ago.. that’s amazing!!
He's been wrestling way longer than 2 years
