Ace Steel defends LA Knight’s gimmick.
LA Knight is one of the most over talents in all of pro wrestling right now, with fans calling for championships and more TV time for the mega star. Recently, Kevin Nash ripped into Knight for taking inspiration from The Rock, something several in the industry have commented on.
On the July 17th edition of Fightful’s Wrestling Perspective Podcast, Ace Steel addressed Nash’s comments, stating that things get recycled all the time in pro wrestling.
Yeah, so what, big fucking deal, are they calling him out on it? Who’s calling him out on it, someone that just has an opinion about it? I mean, the crowds [are] biting on what it is. He’s successful; it might be a revamp of whatever, but is there really anything that [is] super original and pro [wrestling], like things get recycled all the time?
It’s not like he fucking popped out of wrestling school yesterday and started doing this gimmick. He’s been doing it [for] a long fucking time. That’s all I gotta say.”

Knight will be competing in a fatal four way match in the US Title number 1 contender tournament on Friday’s SmackDown. We will have to wait and see if Knight can get one step closer to championship gold later this week.
