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?
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?
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
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 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.
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 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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😎
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 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
There's only one man who can defeat LA Knight and that's 👉L👉A👉Knight
🎤YEAHHHH!
It takes a special kind of guy to go through an awkward Bray Wyatt storyline and still be over like a MF
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
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
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
He needs to win Money in the bank. He's so over it's crazy.
L.A. KNIGHT! YEEEEEEEEEEAH! 🙌
Excuse my ignorance...Eli drake in tna?
Yeah!
That's was his Austin in ECW moment
Dummy, YEAHHH!!!
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.
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!!
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
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 THE future of WWE! YEAH!!!!!!
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.
Let me talk to ya!
Yeeaahh!
LA Knight getting cut when Night 2 was constantly cutting video packages to fill in time was robbery. Him & Lashley deserved it.
He’s the man. And this is inspiring. His grind to get where he is
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
It’s definitely between LA Knight and Cody Rhodes as the most over in WWE for sure
He has only gotten better over these past few years. Championships await.
La Knight is in his prime. Yeah
The Megastar, YEAH!!
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.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
LA Knight/Eli Drake is over and he should be... he knows his shit and his age obviously doesn't matter if you are really know what you are looking at in the ring!
LA Knight is so much fun to watch. From the promos to his matches. Must see tv.
Everyone loves LA Knight except Vince
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
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.
Hope he wins MITB ! Sure I get it if Logan wins but this guy deserves it more!
Dummy yeah lol I miss that gimmick
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.
DDP started wrestling at 35... When did he win the world championship again? Oh yeah.
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
Imagine if L.A Knight joined WWE in his 30s 10 years ago. Instead of Booman Reigns we could've had so much better
Future Mr. MITB and FUTURE CHAMPION L-A-KNIGHT! YEAH!
LA Knight deserves at the very least a solid push
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.
Luckily he wasn’t Max Dupri I really am starting to forget it which is great but look on the bright side most legends start off with horrible gimmicks
Bobby Lashley vs LA Knight should've happen at WrestleMania 39.
More deserving than 99% of the roster...yeah!!
LA Knight vs MJF would be spectacular
I see more interviews with LA Knight than any other WWE superstars. It's crazy

Dont let the "age narrative" fool you 🤐💯
LA Knight rules, needs a monster push
WWE will lie to your face about how age is holding someone back, while pushing guys older than Knight. AJ, Lashley, Edge, that's just a few. Roman is only 2 years younger than Knight.
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
Reminds me of when Christian was so over in 2005 and WWE didn’t want to push him… I hope this doesn’t happen to LA Knight but, I can never fully trust WWE lol.
I actually like him better than the Rock. To me he is way cuter. Dude has aged like fine wine!
And his move set ain’t bad. Killer diction & great intensity in promos!
Hope he gets a solid push. The YES movement should have shown the WWE …. Give the fans what they want!
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!
AJ styles was debut in WWE at the age of 39 and able to become 2 times world champion in 3 years. So nothing is impossible because age is just a number and it doesnt count YEAHHHH
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.
Oh, age is an issue? How old is Roman Reigns? How old is Cody Rhodes? AJ Styles? Seth Rollins? ...Exactly. The top stars in WWE are 37 yo and up. This guy's great and he has everything. If he doesn't win MITB, they're just F'in crazy.
They have cache thou! They’ve been there and had been invested in for a while, there’s a difference. He basically just got there…
He just got there
I don't think you get it. He was talking about creative wanting to give him a push, but didn't do so because of his age, not because he just got there. And I mentioned all the stars being 37 and above. AJ got there at 39 and was a major star. LA Knight was not a rookie when he arrived at WWE. The guy has been wrestling for over 20 years.
@@abrielrobertsson4160come on dude, AJ was a star albeit outside of wwe and arrived as a star. Knight wasn’t a big name prior to wwe
@@abrielrobertsson4160 no, you don’t get it… everyone knew AJ (except Vince apparently) but no one knew LA; he was basically just some 40 yr old dude who turned up looking for his big break
Definitely over naturally. He’s so good on the mic he’s up there with the best that’s for sure. Deserves a push. Being 40 is irrelevant when he’s in great shape and has that much natural charisma that’s missing in most these days besides won’t be long till hogan v Goldberg be on with Vince coming back more and more so 40 is nothing 😂
Get that money this weekend LA!
Really don’t care the the modern era but something about this dude screams attitude/ruthless aggression era! Love him on the mic!
I'm sorry. How old was Goldberg when he won the Universal Championship TWICE?
I hate to say it, because I am not a Goldberg fan, but Knight isn't at that level of money making yet. I would love him to be, because he damn well deserves it and can actually do the work and knows what he's doing. But he's not quite at the level of getting people to buy tickets on name recognition alone.
Well Goldberg was already a huge name from the past. But the BS about age is just that, BS. Either the wrestler can perform or not, they have the look or not, the gift of gab or not. LA Knight is $$$, and WWE better not waste this opportunity.
@@Lord_Bibulous Yeah, but Vince didn't even give him a chance to change his mind. Then again, Vince is a delusional old bastard.
Push la knight yeah!
LA Knight at 40 or Theory at 20. No competition. LA wins.
Fans need to hijack the show for the real MEGA 🌟 STAR
good thing he didnt come back at 2016 or he would have been ec3ed. the timing was right for him, yeah!
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
It's an absolute crime that LA Knight wasn't at Mania... I hope he wins MITB. He needs to win.
Welp….. about MITB…..😢
LA knight dethrones the tribal chief and becomes this generations true mega star that he already is!!!
Interesting how much he struggles with eye contact
Lol
Welcome to the YEAH!!! Movement…….
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
this guy is a golden goose that wwe needs to put gold on
FINNA WATCH THE MENS MITB JUST FOR MY BOY LA KNIGHT
YEAHH!!
Who cares how old he is he’s amazing push him through the roof!!!
Push LA and have him face the rock at wrestlemania
He really deserves to be a world champion and the top guy of the company he's a gem he's truly a Megastar ❣️
YEAH. LA KNIGHT is the most over
40 is like 30 in pro wrestling. Seriously.
I’m gonna say something that may seem counterintuitive, but stick with me. DON’T give LA Knight the briefcase at MITB!! Let Logan screw Knight out of it. It’ll make it so Logan actually deserves the mega heel heat a lot of the crowd gives him, and it’ll put Knight in that Daniel Bryan zone where the support will just get louder and louder the longer he seemingly gets held down. Then he could either cost Logan the cash-in down the road for a huge pop, or challenge him if he does win the belt. Delayed gratification at its finest.
That's a win,win,and great booking bro.👍
Yeah
If LA Knight doesn't win MITB we riot!😅 Yeah!
He is megastar. LET ME TALK TO YOU YEAH YEAH YEAH. MY MAN IS LA KNIGHT. HE DESERVES A BETTER.
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😕😏
He got himself over, even Vince can't stop him.
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.
I haven’t enjoyed a wrestler this much in years. Reminds me of the good old days
Man should be world champ
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 !
LA Knight deserves be a world champion at least 3/4x idc about his damn age wwe push this man to the moon he’s too damn good
