Knight is solid in this role but man, Mace looks ridiculous. To be fair, his name is MACE, and his previous gear was wearing a weird Predator/Bane mask, so that bar was never high...

Who else do you want to see join the 'Knight Model Management'? Nobody. E-LI-DRAKE should be doing so much more than this.

This gimmick just doesn't suit LA Knight. Someone like MVP or even Robert Stone? Sure. Not him. I mean, being a manager didn’t suit either guys you mentioned at first. I’ll boldly say that it suits Knight from the off better than those two did. What I mean is, those guys look like the "Sports Agent" types. MVP pulls off the "Scummy Boxing Promoter" gimmick like George Washington Duke in Rocky V perfectly. And Robert Stone looks like a typical "brand obsessed" Marketing executive. LA Knight has a great look but I don't get either of those vibes from him. He COULD pull it off... But why do that when MVP and Stone do it better? Just let them manage a bunch of people instead. LA Knight could be a solid mid card Champion on Raw or Smackdown.

I mean, why make Stone a manager at all when Paul Ellering was with the company at the time? Why was MVP a manager when he still had in ring time in him? Stone wasn’t exactly first choice in the makeover department considering how much longevity the Robbie E gimmick had and MVP was…well, MVP. All I’m saying is if you’re not going to use him as a wrestler (and it is weird he’s not being used as a wrestler, I agree there) you might as well use his mike work and he could with time potentially.

Nah, this is gonna work. Knight being an Ari Gold-like manager is hilarious to me. And as dope as Knight is man wasn't gonna be a premiere talent. He was gonna be stuck in the midcard, do a few things and then be used as a punching bag similarly to Tyler Breeze. At least with this role he's going to be used well to push a potential stable and with his mic skills, he's set.
WWE's really upping their managers and each of them all stand out compared to the last. Once Bivens is called up man, it'll just flourish more.

Just…just call him Dio Madden again. People actually cared about Dio Madden. I still call him Great Black Otaku by force of habit. Or sometimes Better Woolie.

It's not like I don't have faith that this CAN work, because Knight's great, but these are the kind of statements I feel lead to "LA Knight has been released" threads in like two days lmfao

MVP and Stone are very different personalities to Paul Ellering though. Ellering with AOP was like Heisenberg and Tucos Cousins. That's the vibe I got. Just a bad ass old guy with two dangerous Motherf***ers behind him. LA Knight being a manager isn't really the issue. I guess it's because he's doing the "Sports Agent" gimmick that MVP and to an extent Stone (who has a different take on it) are both doing better. If LA Knight was somebody's loud mouth hype man or something, I'd probably be invested. This looks like something that will be dropped quickly.

Only in wrestling could you get your name changed to some edgy dorkshit to reflect your membership into a terrorist group that makes you wear a Bane mask, but then keep that name when you get repackaged as a vain model instead. He needs to be a spokesmodel for a new brand of fragrance spray called MACE. In all seriousness, T-Bar has been T-Bar for I think around 2 years now and hasn't changed his look either. Him and Mace should just he be a part of LA Knights new group or hell you know maybe have oh I don't know.....The Robert Stone Brand be LA Knight with Mace and T-Bar as Robert's tough guys who watch his back while LA Knight is the solo star of the group

Who else do you want to see join the 'Knight Model Management'? Definitely TBar and Mustafa Ali. Who’s this Ali that you speak of?

Only thing I hate about this is that he was coming into his own as a natural Rock'esc babyface in NXT and now he is back being a heel.
I mean dude is gonna kill it with his mic skills alone but this dude could have exploded outta the blocks if they had let him be a mega babyface outta the gate.

Im just glad that WWE is giving it a go with Managers again after years of nothing besides Heyman.

So Better Woolie can do JoJo poses as part of his gimmick now?

Guy was getting over big with super face energy in NXT, so let's give him Robert Stone's gimmick with a dash of Rick Martell and send him out cold!
Jesus, I try not to be as negative about everything as some, but come the f*** on!

This is most likely more good for Knight than it is for Mace/Dio
Knight can take less bumps and not have the wear and tear and eventually like most WWE managers eventually get in the ring

How did anyone get a hold of this, anyway? I don’t remember anyone hacking into the dark match feeds like this since the Attitude Era. Someone from WWE must've leaked it. The more interesting question is - why would they do that? Probably as a trial run to see how people would react
