LA Knight isn't worried about comparisons to The Rock and Steve Austin.
Entertainers sample from the entertainers that came before them in all forms of entertainment. LA Knight is no exception, and the influence of the likes of The Rock and Steve Austin are apparent when he steps through the curtain and speaks on the microphone.
Speaking on Cheap Heat, LA Knight was asked about the comparisons to Rock and Austin.
"If you want to make that comparison, cool. My aim is to be bigger and better than either of them. I bring a very different package to the table than they do. At the same time, are there similarities? Sure there are you. There is Kobe (Bryan) to (Michael) Jordan, those kind of comparisons. If you want to make me the Kobe to their Jordan, I'll take it," he said.
When asked who his Jordan is, Knight replied, "There is a four-way tie. (Hulk) Hogan started it all for me. Even Hollywood and the NWO, good stuff. Him, (Ric) Flair, Austin, Rock, I could not pick a top."
