WWE Star Suggests “Crazy Flips” Are For The “Undercard”
Wrestling styles are always a hot topic for debate among fans with WWE star LA Knight now explaining why he doesn’t partake in a particular style that has usually been reserved for the undercard.
LA Knight seems to be growing in popularity by the week in WWE with the star winning most of his fans through what he says on the microphone rather than the moves he does in the ring.
The former Million Dollar Champion will compete in the biggest match of his WWE career on July 1st when he does battle with Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, Butch, Damian Priest, Santos Escobar, and Logan Paul in the men’s Money In The Bank match.
Speaking to the Daily Star ahead of Money In The Bank, LA Knight explained his point of view on wrestling styles and explained why despite being in a multi-man ladder match, he’s not likely to be pulling out any crazy flips:
“There’s a lot of guys out there just doing their routines, doing the tumbling, and they’re doing their gymnastics and that kind of stuff – I don’t do that. Sure, I can throw some spice in there every now and then, where it makes sense, where it fits where I need it.
“A lot of times it’s the physical charisma, it’s the physical kind of mannerisms and stuff like that, like how are you conducting yourself? How are you holding yourself? If you look at the biggest swells in the industry, you’re looking at the golden era with Hogan – big time charisma – you’re looking at the at the Attitude Era with with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was all big time charisma, nobody was doing crazy flips.
“I mean, some of the guys were doing that, but those are the guys on the undercard, and no disrespect to that as that’s something that you need on the card, but for the guys that I wanted to be and the guys that I wanted to emulate and where I wanted to be on the card – I knew who I wanted to be.”
