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.

That’s not an easy thing to do in today’s times.

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.
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!

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 getting cut when Night 2 was constantly cutting video packages to fill in time was robbery. Him & Lashley deserved it.
There's only one man who can defeat LA Knight and that's 👉L👉A👉Knight 🎤YEAHHHH!
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 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.
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.
I see more interviews with LA Knight than any other WWE superstars. It's crazy
He has only gotten better over these past few years. Championships await.
The Megastar, YEAH!!
More deserving than 99% of the roster...yeah!!
this guy is a golden goose that wwe needs to put gold on
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 really deserves to be a world champion and the top guy of the company he's a gem he's truly a Megastar ❣️
This guy is just GOLD amazing wrestler LA Knight YEAH!!!
Really don’t care the the modern era but something about this dude screams attitude/ruthless aggression era! Love him on the mic!
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

It takes a special kind of guy to go through an awkward Bray Wyatt storyline and still be over like a MF
He just seems the coolest guy. I've loved his work dating back to his time in Impact.
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 saw his potential back in NWA a few years ago. He was my favorite.
It's the promo's. Yeah !! ⚡
LA Knight vs MJF would be spectacular
I did like mmm I like Mansor and t bar and maxine is drop dead. You leading them was dope! Ur the best bro
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.
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
