Kevin Nash calls LA Knight a ripoff of The Rock.
In recent months, Knight has become one of the hottest stars in WWE, as fans have rallied around him and his distinct charisma. Knight is often compared to The Rock due to his remarkable promo skills and his unique delivery, as well as his apparent confidence. Ahead of WWE Money in the Bank, Knight was widely viewed as one of the favorites to win the match, though Damian Priest emerged victorious.
Speaking on Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on Knight.
“Am the only one that sees an absolute ripoff of The Rock? To the point where he cut the promo on fucking Logan Paul or whatever the fuck is name is. He said, ‘Yeah, stick it,’ the only thing he didn’t do was turn that motherfucker sideways. What, does everybody have amnesia? There’s nothing original…’Oh, man, his promo.’ His promos…’Finally, LA Knight has come back as a white guy.’ If you don’t put that Money in the Bank in Paul’s hands so you can, the rest of the year, say, ‘Oh, fuck, yeah, but the wildcard is, will Logan Paul be there?’ If you don’t get some mileage out of that, then uncle. I don’t know this guy, LA Knight. I don’t know him, but I’ll tell you one thing, I got a text message from him, I’m just gonna read what it says. ‘Hey Nash, I know you don’t know me. I’ve got an idea of this character. He’s called the Scorpion King. What do you think?’ This is bullshit, okay. Rock was the Scorpion King. Then he said he’s in talks with Disney. I don’t know what the fuck’s going on," Nash said.
