I dont understand why everybody keeps pointing out that LA Knight is a "throwback" or "copying" anybody.... the guy is acting like a pro-wrestler.... The problem is that there has been a SEVERE LACK of Pro-Wrestlers in Pro-Wrestling for the last 20 years.... Nobody wanted pro-wrestlers to stop acting like that... they just decided that they would rather be "actors" or what ever tf... MORE People should act like LA Knight... then they might have fans interested in more than 1 segment a night.

Was Ric Flair a ripoff of Buddy Rogers? Weren't they both ripoffs of Gorgeous George? The Rock was reminiscent of Superstar Billy Graham and so were Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura. Wrestlers have been copying other wrestlers from the past or characters from movies, TV and literature for a long time, maybe forever. Very few people are original at all

@ydderf456 Год назад

exactly, and originality just for the sake of being original is how you end up with some of the stupid shit we've seen in wrestling as of late especially in the indie scene.

@SmoothSportsGaming Год назад

Most Wrestlers don't go as hard as LA with their "inspiration". Even Ric who was clearly a rip off, atleast had his own catchphrases and promo style. *List of things that make people think he's a Rock and Austin knockoff* - Does a finisher siimilar to a Stunner - has his own People's Elbow - Has his own "WHAT!" ~ "YEAH!" and uses it in a similar way. But also like Austin's "HELL YEAH!" - raises eyebrow like Rock - Has Austin's physical mannerisms - Wears a vest like Austin - Wears shades like The Rock - Suggest putting things up rears like the rock and does it in a similar manner - has their cadence - And also has his own version of "Uh Uh!" When he disagrees "naw naw!" - used to literally use "that's the bottom line" when he was Eli Drake - "With the millions of Rock's fans chanting Rocky Rocky" ~ "With everybody saying L A Knight!"

Really cool to learn that Booker T was influenced by Pat Tanaka's ring work! I'm a big Tanaka mark myself. I can totally see it now that Booker has said it too! There was a particularly wicked spot Tanaka used to do all the time where he'd come off the ropes and hit a rapid fire Spinning Forearm/Body attack in the middle of the ring on his opponent. It always looked amazing! Booker T coming off the ropes with his version of the Flying Forearm is very similar in style.

Cody’s had on going top nmerch sells since he returned to Wwe 22! La knight mech sales were # 4 Cody’s mech sales were at #1 and 2 and his sales has beaten John cena numbers !

Good to see open-mindedness on this channel. Nash and Oliver doubled down on their ignorance. Nash admits to only having seen LA Knight that one time. He said he gave Knight another chance by watching RAW, and mocked him by not being booked on the three hour show. 🙄 It didn't dawn on neither Nash nor Oliver that LA Knight is on Smackdown, not RAW, and Nash is bragging that he blocked a ton of people for criticizing Knight based on one viewing. How could a veteran like Nash be so out of touch with the heritage of wrestling being passed from one generation to another? He had plenty of colleagues that he worked with that were descendants of a prior generation. Flair from Rogers, Hogan, Steiner, Dusty, Ventura from Superstar Graham. Goldberg from Nikita. Demolition from the Road Warriors. On and on it goes - as it always has and always will. Nash just doesn't want to educate himself. He might have to swallow his pride and admit that he is wrong. And Nash doesn't have the balls for that. He'll never really grow up and be a real adult...

Kobe created his game via 5 of his favorite players and he became one of the GOAT's because of it... YEA!!

Every haters said it's a rip off. But copying Rock or Stone Cold is not easy at all. If he can copy without script, straight up use his charisma, he is super talented himself.

Flair - Rogers Dusty - Billy Graham Adrian Adonis - Gorgeous George Benoit - Dynamite Kid Hogan - Billy Graham Rock - Austin (remember Austin talked trash first) Cena - Hogan to some degree Ziggler - Mr Perfect/Billy Gunn CM Punk - Piper This list can go on and on but it doesn’t matter. He’s over and as long as he doesn’t go any further into those influences then let him Roll With It…YEAH!

I do see the Rock and Stone Cold in the promos. But he has his own style, what he has done, he has brought in old eyes back to wrestling. I am one of them. I saw clips from BT Sports RU-vid of him and instantly enjoyed it. It's been nearly 20 years for me. And I love his promos. I now read that LA Knight is #1 in shirt sales. That is money in the WWE eyes, and with that, his character, heel, or face that will make him the #1 guy and that should give him the push to be #1 at the top.

Booker T in WCW was literally a carbon copy of The Rock 😂 he had the silk shirts, the shades, the same finish ffs 🤦‍♂️😂 it was apparent to everyone that they wanted a Rock so they moulded Booker in that image.

Those attitude era guys were defiant. No one seen it before to that degree. So here is the second coming. I am enjoying the hell out of it because i haven't seen this style of persona in ages in this way. Unfortunately in this biblically run world the story of life is the villan always wins and the babyface always loses because the babyface is the one who has to fight. So Knight unfortunately i don't think will win.

The point is everyone is talking about him and he is getting a reaction. It's a win for Knight

@Prosodyy Год назад

The pop he gets when his music hits says enough. No added-in crowd noises needed

Nash is wanting the views L.A Knight is the most over

@wilk268 Год назад

hell even Cena's "hustle, loyalty, respect" could be seen as a copy/homage of Hogan's "eat your vitamins, say your prayers" gimmick form the 80s. its not a ripoff, its taking what works and making it your own

@phillipg7315 Год назад

👏👏 Amen to everything! Also Stone Cold was influenced by serial killer Richard Kuklinski and actor Bruce Willis while Rock took inspiration from Deion Sanders sooooo…..

Nothing wrong with a throwback

@User71956 Год назад

Fun fact, LA knight has been doing the motion capturing for the WWE 2k games for a few years now. That includes moves and entrances for all the wrestlers. Also, I'm sure if you look back far enough you can say MFJ is a "rip off" of another wrestler due to his old school heel gimmick.

@lemias Год назад

Yeah, I remember LA Knight (Eli Drake) saying that in his first interview with Chris Van Vleet a few years ago.

MJF = JBL ? Lol

@ScarredMomentZ Год назад

I get it. LA Knight is successful so why change something that works. I just feel like he's trying to be The Rock when I see his promos.

@SneeUnit Год назад

I don’t understand how it’s a bad thing to have a style that’s a hybrid of the two greats of at Attitude Era.

@NekroGGRE Год назад

Remember The Rock did the Sharpshooter which wasn't his, Austin did the Lou Thez Press, Ric Flair wasnt the original Nature Boy. Even the Legends borrow stuff.

Most wrestlers take stuff from the past ... Flair: Gorgeous George, Rogers Hogan: Billy Graham, Chief Jay Strongbow; Dusty Austin: David Schultz Jericho: Owen Hart Benoit: Dynamite Kid
