LA fires back.

Whilst for the most part, LA Knight’s current character is well received from fans, some fans and wrestling legends believe that LA is ripping off household names such as The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

During an interview with Mail Online, LA would clap back at these criticisms in the best way possible:

“… It doesn’t matter. I’ve heard that since the very beginning, since I started in 2003. When I first started people would say he sounds like The Rock or he sounds like Austin, even I think my second set of gear when I was in Ohio, I had red and yellow. Oh he’s being Hulk Hogan!”

Everybody is going to make comparisons to some sort and I’m 100 percent influenced by those guys, absolutely. I’m influenced by (Ric) Flair, (Randy) Savage, Jake the Snake. I’m influenced by other entities outside of wrestling. Musical artists, actors. All that stuff is in there. At the end of the day you put all that together and you’ve got yourself LA Knight.”

What do you make of the comparisons between LA and legends such as The Rock and Austin? Are they justified? Let us know in the comments below.
