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.
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 😂)
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.
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.
“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.
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
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. 😐
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.
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.
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❤❤❤❤
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....
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
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'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.
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.
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.
Did all those wrestlers only now just get pushed. Otherwise Lashley was getting pushed solidly already from his first run, AJ was known as a great Technical wrestler and was a top guy During TNA's peak years when they did pull in serious eyeballs. Otherwise everyone else at this point in time is already established and have been established before they turned 40.
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Hell, yeah, DPP is completely correct about LA night alien night have concerts being champion and nachos that but I think LA night is also in his best moment of his career❤❤❤
I have a t-shirt with Dallas Page's face on the front. Got it many years ago as one of my Christmas presents from my husband. Can you Dallas was my fav back then and now I'm in love with his son Adam
Having a bunch of young dudes and old legends caused WWE to have its worst 10 year period. Now that all those guys have grown they understand the business and aren’t just looking out for themselves. The roster has a lot of the same names as 2014 but 10 years of experience has blossomed into a rebirth in the brand.
If I remember right LA Knight is also a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He has done great for himself for years. I'm also a native Marylander as well. I've run into him a couple of times here and he's one of the chilliest guys I've met

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

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

Come on he’s terrible rock/Austin rip off
Nah nah 😂@matthewrinki56
Funny joke kid 😂😂😂
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
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 😂)
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.
LA Knight deserves the push he's finally getting. He can use the mic and he can go in the ring.
Real recognize real
When DDP says you got something he means it! He is living proof of "you ain't too old for nothing!"
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.
He ain't too old for nothing. He is the man right now.
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.
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
LA Knight actually is a breath of fresh air for the WWE and it's fans
“He is at the right time and at the right place”

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!

DDP is a legend of legends! I admit I had some tears swell up when he won the belt back in the WCW days
It’s good seeing legends not hating for once. DDP’s resume as a good person is insurmountable.
Class act. Respect.
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.
DDP started when he was 35
DDP started at 35. Batista at 30. Age isn’t a limitation
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 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
DDP, YEAH!
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❤❤❤❤
DDP and LA Knight are both legends and deserve all the respect the fans can provide

He's 40?? Damn he looks good for his age. I could have sworn I thought it was in his 30s.
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
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
L.A. Knight!! YEAH!!!! And DDP IS THE MAN!! DDP should come back and manage him... would be off the charts
Let me talk to ya. DDP knows YEAH
Two of my favorite people
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.
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.
L.A KNIGHT..... YEAH!!!!!
YEAH!!!
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…
And hes helping men get into shape and beat addiction, I love you DDP ❤❤God Bless you Bro
World heavyweight champion LA KNIGHT!!!!!
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!
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.
The goat on the mic and a awesome movement in the ring 🙏
For anyone that nervous about getting older, I hit my stride in my late 30s and I'm now in my mid forties
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.

DDP is the man YEAH
If LA Knight is "old" at 40 then tell that to people like Bobby Lashley, Asuka, Finn Balor and AJ Styles
Did all those wrestlers only now just get pushed. Otherwise Lashley was getting pushed solidly already from his first run, AJ was known as a great Technical wrestler and was a top guy During TNA's peak years when they did pull in serious eyeballs. Otherwise everyone else at this point in time is already established and have been established before they turned 40.
DDP always get respect 💪💯
Im with DDP 1000000%. LA is legit. Hes perfect on the mic , perfect in the ring, fans LOVE HIM, & hes got that look.
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 speaking facts on la knight
LA KNIGHT is a dream come true🤩🤩🤩
GIVE LA KNIGHT ALL THE BELTS! HE'S PURE MONEY!
DDP is a motivational master
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
La knight is WWE's version of DDP in WCW give this man the title in 2024
LA Knight is built like a tank and The Rock level mic skills.
LA and DDP would have been a great tag team
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.

That is a truth when it comes to life in general. YOU are never too old. Remember that people!
What kills me is people talk about la knights age but treat damien priest like hes a young guy.
Give la Knight finally a megastar Push
He is gold ...yeah😊
I didn’t even know he was that old, he’s a star in that ring
DDP understands LA KNIGHT position perfect. 🎉BANG🎉
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
He's a right guy in the right time in the right place!
DDP... DROPPING SOME KNOWLEDGE
I could see DDP giving the same motivational speech to his pizza delivery guy.
I always think of DDP when i see the DPD vans lol
Hell, yeah, DPP is completely correct about LA night alien night have concerts being champion and nachos that but I think LA night is also in his best moment of his career❤❤❤
You right ddp the man I at the right place at the right time.
You know what that means creative listen to DDP! Give the people what they want! Make this man the champion already for Christ's sake
Love DDP real man who has real respect for wrestling
I have a t-shirt with Dallas Page's face on the front. Got it many years ago as one of my Christmas presents from my husband. Can you Dallas was my fav back then and now I'm in love with his son Adam
He saved todays wrestling!!! What don’t you get
La knight is a bad ass we need more wrestlers like him ...dx, nation of domination, new age outlaws, four horsemans, nwo, evolution,etc....😢
When DDP and Macho Man had their classics they were both old. You gotta have drive and passion to do this
Having a bunch of young dudes and old legends caused WWE to have its worst 10 year period. Now that all those guys have grown they understand the business and aren’t just looking out for themselves.
The roster has a lot of the same names as 2014 but 10 years of experience has blossomed into a rebirth in the brand.
I just saw this man jump to the top rope effortlessly at SummerSlam
That man ain't old
If I remember right LA Knight is also a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He has done great for himself for years. I'm also a native Marylander as well. I've run into him a couple of times here and he's one of the chilliest guys I've met
LA Knight is definitely winning a title before the year is over
I’d love to see DDP come in for a segment with LA Knight and Damian Priest
