Wrestling fanatics are often very particular regarding whom they root for. Winning an array of awards, honors is on one side, and winning the hearts of a million fans is on the other. The second demands some X factor beyond the usual talent and skill. LA Knight’s current status makes everybody believe that he got something otherworldly to turn into an absolute fan favorite from a mere mediocre within a gap of a few months.

To reason for his epic rise in worldly terms, his drop-dead mic skill and magnificent charisma can’t go unmentioned. Despite Knight not getting his shot right at last weekend’s Money in The Bank, fans didn’t raise doubt about his supremacy. That said, former WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash sailed against the wind to openly accuse the 40-year-old of stealing The Rock‘s gimmick and style. The wrestling legend, however, found himself in deep water in terms of fans’ disapproval in the aftermath.

During his appearance on the ‘Kilq This’ podcast, Nash blasted the fan favorite for the match with a bombshell comment on his in-ring persona. Without mincing his word even a bit, Nash said, ”Am I the only one that sees like an absolute rip off of The Rock to the point when he cut the promo on fu*ing Logan Paul or whatever the fu* his name is”

”The only thing he didn’t do is turn the motherfu**er sideways. Jesus Christ, does everybody have amnesia? There’s nothing original,” he concluded.
