Konnan On LA Knight – ‘I See Nothing Wrong With What He’s Doing’

In recent months, there has been a lot of criticism levied against LA Knight for being a ripoff of The Rock and Steve Austin.

While Kevin Nash isn’t a fan of LA Knight using The Rock and Steve Austin as his inspirations, Booker T and several others have come to Knight’s defense.

Speaking on the latest edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan revealed that he has no issue with what LA Knight is doing. He said,

“We had LA Knight on the show and I asked him about that. I said, ‘Hey your cadence is a lot like The Rock’s.’ And he goes, ‘Yeah, I know.’ He’s not denying it, right? [He’s] paying homage to the greatest to have ever done it on the mic, which I get.”

He continued, “The first time I saw him in Impact, I [said] this guy is kind of a ripoff of The Rock. That is the first thing that I thought when I saw him. But then I kept seeing him. The Rock never said, ‘Yeah!’ Or ‘Dummy!’ He’s inspired by The Rock, [who] hasn’t been in wrestling on a consistent basis for 25 years. What’s the big deal? I see nothing wrong with what he’s doing.”
