With Never Ending Dwayne Johnson Comparisons, WWE Legend Reveals “The In-Between” Advice for LA Knight’s Rising Uproar

With the rise of the Megastar LA Knight, there are many opinions about his wrestling work in WWE circling around right now. With podcasts, interviews, and media scrums talking about him, there are way too many opinions around. The most prominent of them focuses on how Knight is copying Dwayne Johnson.

Many veterans have come out saying different things about Knight’s resemblance to The Rock. But unlike other veterans who have previously talked about Knight, this one worked in the same locker room when Knight was Eli Drake down in TNA/Impact! So, he has a better outlook on the Megastar.

A WWE veteran has words of advice for LA Knight

On the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray talked about the recent Raw episode. From the next plans for Cody Rhodes to Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura, there was a lot that Ray talked about. But he had a firm opinion about Knight’s segment with The Miz. While still having praises for his former colleague, Ray also had some words of advice.

He said, “I think that LA Knight needs to continue to hone his character. He walks like Stone Cold, he talks like The Rock, and I have no problem with that. So I have no problem with LA Knight borrowing from The Rock and a little bit from Steve Austin. He’s just gotta find the ‘in-between’, so that they’re with him the whole time and not just waiting for him to say L A Knight and YEAH! again.”

But you might be wondering why people are comparing Knight and Johnson a lot. Well, here’s our two cents about the topic.

How does LA Knight remind people of Dwayne Johnson?

One thing that is striking about Knight, is his ability to win over the crowd with only his catchphrases. This was also the striking charm of The Rock that separated him from the crowd. Just like the ‘YEAH!’ or ‘LA Knight’ chant, Johnson had his chants like ‘Just Bring It’ or ‘It Doesn’t Matter’.

But even if former WWE Champions accuse of him stealing Attitude Era gimmicks, Knight knows how to shut them up. This is also another thing that Johnson was known for, shutting the criticism with his actions or words. But given every similarity, Knight still has the charisma and skills to stand on this own and entertain the crowd.
