Diamond Dallas Page is a big fan of LA Knight.
Knight, who is currently one of the hottest stars in all of WWE, is often praised by legends of the wrestling business for his current work on the main roster. Knight's work is sometimes compared to work from the Attitude Era, which many fans and past stars consider to be the best era in the history of wrestling.
In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, Diamond Dallas Page praised Knight, noting that he isn't too old for his position. Page also noted that he gave Knight his props in person at during WrestleMania 39 weekend.
“That guy, he ain’t too old for nothing. He is at the right time at the right place and I pray for him that they see it, because he deserves it. I remember walking up to him, I wanna say it was Mania this year, and I said, ‘Dude, I just want you to know, I personally love what you’re doing and watching you from NXT coming up.’ [He has worked] with Bronson, who’s one of my boys, he’s worked out in that gym with me 50 times. I was like, ‘I love what you’re doing’ and I said the same thing to Sami, that it’s your time dude, these people are gonna get with you, it’s gonna get bigger and bigger and it did. Both of those guys are top guys to me, but they aren’t top of the top. Just give them that little push and they both will deliver.”
Sami Zayn's popularity recently paid off, as he and Kevin Owens defeated The Usos in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 39 to win both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
Knight also recently scored a big win, as he won the Slim Jim Battle Royale at SummerSlam.
