LA Knight Recalls His Hardships to Feature in a Regional Casino Commercial With the Aim to Just Do “Anything” – “Was a Quick 800 Bucks”

Lately, LA Knight has been in the search history of several wrestling fans. However, there was once a time when the wrestler was also struggling to make ends meet. During those days, Knight focused on getting any job that he could. So, the wrestler eventually found himself searching for petty jobs. Despite the low-paying status of these jobs, Knight was ready to accept anything coming his way.

While remembering his struggling days on Corey Graves‘ podcast, the SmackDown superstar opened up about the first few jobs that he had taken up. These gigs included the wrestler starring as an actor in commercials.

LA Knight opens up about his struggles at the beginning of his career

When Knight was starting wrestling, he was staying in Ohio. A lot of things went wrong when he tried living in L.A. for four months in between. So, the wrestler had moved back to Cincinnati. He did so because he did not want to go back to his hometown in Maryland as all his friends had already moved away. So, thinking of his future and new friends, Knight went back to Ohio. This time around, he wanted to get any job that he could for himself.

His initial thoughts were, “God, I just need to do anything.” Then, he came across a yellow pamphlet at his doorstep with contacts of a few agencies. Instinctively, Knight called any of them established nearby.

While talking on ‘After The Bell’, Knight revealed that after he called up one of the agencies, they called him over to read a script. He followed suit and eventually got accepted into a commercial. Knight detailed during the episode, “I end up getting kinda like a feature role in this regional casino commercial where I was a masseuse and I’m just like doing little choppy hands on the lady. And I was like ‘Okay. That was a quick 800 bucks’ or whatever.”

Following this break in his acting career, he even got a role to play in a commercial for the luxurious automobile brand, ‘Audi’.

Despite having a tough road to walk on, the former Impact Global Champion has now embraced his success as he keeps on hitting new milestones.

In fact, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash was also one of those individuals holding such an opinion. However, after knowing what the 40-year-old has achieved so far, and seeing his fandom, Nash succumbed to the pressure and took back the words that he had said against him.
