LA Knight Explains How He Channels Frustration Into His Promos
LA Knight is one of the top talents in the world on the microphone, and he uses his frustration to produce emotion in his promos.
Knight, who recently lost in the Money In The Bank ladder match, is very over with WWE fans right now. While he did not win the match, it is expected he will still find his way to championship gold with the fans backing. This is in large part to his ability on the microphone.
While speaking on My Love Letter to Wrestling, LA Knight talked about his promos and the method behind them.
“[Going to Impact] was the first time I’d seen real money … in wrestling,” Knight said. “Yeah, there’s a lot of fondness there. There’s also a lot of frustration that I didn’t leave sooner. And not because there was an issue there, necessarily, but just because I had the opportunity to come [to WWE] earlier. But I was lured in by that evil, evil money.
There’s a lot of anger, there’s a lot of frustration, but there’s also a lot of vindication at this point,” Knight continued. “[Wrestling] is my biggest love and my biggest frustration.
I believe every single word I’m saying,” Knight said. “Maybe that sounds psycho to some people, maybe it doesn’t. But I’m so drawn into what I’m doing, and there’s so much real emotion from the last 10 to 20 years where I’m just like, ‘I should’ve been taking over the world so long ago.’ It’s all as real as can be. The journey, in a lot of ways — even though I was broke, and I didn’t have a car for years, and I was getting eviction notices and stuff like that — it was a rough go. But there’s some strange fondness that I do have for that struggle. Maybe it’s that weirdness, where I need that adversity or that negativity to push up against.”
