>>16693541
He should turn heel and have a feud with Cody

>>16693541

What's so knight about him?

Fine, I know I'm only supposed to post about ratings and board celebrities, and this is probably an ironic thread, but I'll tell you my honest opinion on LA Knight this once. I really like him. I know he's not exactly great in the ring and fucks up promos every now and then and is a bit of a copycat of previous stars, but damnit I find him entertaining. I love the "WITH ERRRRYBODY SAYING" and then he points to the crowd and finishes with a "YEAAHHH" that almost sounds like a question. It's fucking stupid and silly and I love it. I've also started using "let me talk to you!" in real life which is probably embarassing but I don't give a fuck. He also actually looks like a proper old school wrestler unlike most of the WWE roster these days.

He's cool and wrestles more than the 'john cena' schedule shitters like cody and gunther

>>16693541
Future GOAT?

You can tell that LA Knight sat in front of a computer for a month with a notebook in front of him. His goal was to watch every single Stone Cold and The Rock match/promo to scientifically distill what made them work. It's like he made his gimmick in the lab to replicate them as much as possible.

- Theme that can be used as an interruption (the "L, A, Knight" sample, same as the glass breaking or the IF YA SMELLLLL)
- Signature hand sign (the "LA K")
- Signature pose on the top rope (like the Rock's belt pose, and Stone Cold's two-fist taunt)
- Finisher that can be hit on anyone, "out of nowhere", set up exactly like the Stunner
- Catchphrase that can be chanted like WHAT
- Catchphrase that can be yelled easily by anyone (one syllable, language independent)
- Catchphrase to end a promo ("everybody saying...")
- Catchphrase that comments on his positives (Kavorka, etc)
- Catchphrase and interaction with the crowd during moves (elbow drop)
- Casual attire with his own logo (the knight helm, compared to the skull or brahma bull), vest, etc

I'm going to give Eli Drake the credit that he actually thought "I'm going to need to steal to succeed", but it doesn't change how manufactured it feels.

>Rock and Austin invented catchphrases
>>
over the hill shitter that botches too much
send his boring ass back to TNA
>>
I think he's winning the US title back. But after that idk. Bro should've been In the main event scene a bit more. I haven't seen such a waste of overness in quite a while.

>Turns heel
>Calls himself LA Fire
>>
>>16695839
Even if any of that was true, he did the right homework on who to emulate on getting over
>>
>>16695839
Wrestling is stealing, retard. Hogan took 99% of his shit from Dusty, Jimmy Valiant and Billy Graham
>>
>>16695839
Let me guess, he also wrestles, is on television and breathes? I'll listen to your schizobabble when he shaves his head.
