YES. HE SHOULD. Let's face it. Cody's (Stardust) story is all bullshit. son of a legend Dusty, held gold in WWE before, now if his story was real he had so many chances of completing his story by beating Seth Rollins on RAW, but no. The real story should've been a guy that took 20years just to get to the WWE. Even Without a push in 1 year he topped the merch sales for months. He's proven himself in the ring, on the mic, in a main event. The real story to be completed is LA Knights story.

Bray was gone the whole time LA Knight was on the main roster….. Those people you said were “claiming they were best friends” actually worked with him for years and saw him almost every day for years. LA Knight wasn’t there until the end. Along with that he also said he isn’t one to go “out of his way” to talk to everyone, so odds are he probably never really tried to talk to Bray.

There was nothing bad said about the PERSON behind the CHARACTER….

(NO) could he tag with Cena go against bloodline and prove he was best person in the ring (NO) jimmy ran circles around his work, I been actually lately trying to find a match where I could honestly say he outworked whoever he performed against and I can't find it...even when he sat at head of table and interrupted Roman's entrance that was his chance dude that was the moment!!!!

I feel like he will be the next DDP in that he will win the championship at 40+ years old. He's a 20+ year veteran and has natural charisma that you can't teach in a performance center. He was born to be a pro wrestler

Imagine one of the up and coming stars from any of the previous eras doing an interview or shoot like this. I can't. That's probably why he is where he is.

Shoutout to triple h too even tho he might’ve “buried” wrestlers during his in ring era, he’s definitely paid that back off on the business side and has mended a lot of the bridge that he’s burned or that the wwe has burned like ultimate warrior cm punk la night n many more feel like his out of ring career gonna be more memorable than his in ring career n being the game already speaks for itself

LA night should at least be in contention for the US title intercontinental title or even the world heavyweight championship but perhaps not the WWE title just yet.

"With everybody saying LA Knight!"

its quite remarkable how similar LA knight sounds to the rock. I was alt tabbed listening for a few mins and i asked myself "wait did a rock video autoplay next?"

I'm not gonna lie, his backstage issue of people thinking he's an asshole to them because he's not super outgoing reminds me of Brock Lesnar. Like that duo feels like a "One of the best friends I've ever had. We still never talk sometimes."

I wasn't watching TNA at the time that he was there, so my first introduction to him was NXT at the pre-show of whatever event it was. He came in, cut a promo on the panelists and left. Had about a minute. Kinda flubbed the ending (I'm assuming he was getting used to L.A. Knight) but still. I didn't know who he was, but I knew he was someone. So I went and looked it up. I was a fan since that day. His feud with Grimes over the Million Dollar Belt/Teddy's respect was great. And his being on the same side as Gargano and Ciampa was pretty cool. Even though he came in near the end of the Black and Gold era. Unfortunately their loss marked the end of the B&G era, even though the writing was on the wall, I was still pulling for the good guys (despite them kinda being portrayed as the heels?)

this interview is exactly how every wrest;ing fan felt about la knight. perfect

​@juliemillington9907 The fact of matter is LA Knight is half face and half heel. He's a face with heel aura.

I'm a huge LA Knight backer. If I were a wrestling booker, he would be the main champion. For whatever reason, despite having more charisma in his little finger than the majority of wrestlers today and being solid in the ring, he just never really got his big break in WWE until he was almost 40 which is a shame. I've followed Knight's career dating back to his time on the California indies and he has always entertained me. But apparently the WWE higher-up's don't agree even with the fan reaction Knight gets and he is just pretty much stuck being a solid face for the upper card.

I'm worried he's going to fall into the Adam Rose, Austin Theory, or Fandango types. Big push, high hopes, and then it just stops. EDIT: Many questions wondering how people like Rose were pushed. Rose and others do not need a title to get a push. A push can come in different forms (TV time, appearance and gimmick, vignettes, entrance, costume detail, etc.) and for Rose, it came in the form of having a gimmick that included the audience. It might have been a silly gimmick, and it was, but it was there. Much more time and energy was invested into Rose and Fandango than I see in many performers today.
