People like him cause they feel like they are cool for cheering someone so mid?
Like he's not bad, but he's not the best talker or wrestler.... and def not doing anything to be getting one of loudest reactions.

This feels like if Daniel Bryan was the body type vince liked and was just ok at everything he did.

I don’t quite get how he’s gotten as over as he has (it’s only really now that he’s starting to win matches on a regular basis), but clearly the fans are buying what he’s selling, so this is more on me.

He cuts a good promo, good look and he looks like a big deal. That's good enough for me. Make him an upper midcarder and he's solid.

No it's not ironic, the dude literally gets some of the biggest pops of the show, and has everyone going "YEAH!" for everything he says
He's got a great charisma about him that isn't duplicatable, and it connects to a crowd and they want to see him succeed, this isn't hard and threads like this are exhausting lol

Nah Eli Drake has always been super charismatic…even during the worst of impact he was entertaining as hell. He was even pretty good on the early days of NWA Powerr…

Wrestling fans like to chant along with catchphrases. Always have, always will. Guy is cool, built like a brickhouse and decent in ring. Easy to see why people gravitate towards him.

I don't get it either. He seems very mid to me too, but there's no denying lots of people seem to love the guy.

It's not ironic but I do think it has a ceiling that it may reach eventually as he gets a bit of a push.

Yes, they are ironically spending millions of dollars on his merch too.

Kevin Nash thinks he’s just a Rock impersonator. That’s pretty rich when that guy's big break came from imitating a semi-truck.

If Knight is “mid”, what’s that make guys like Theory?

Not sure what would really constitute irony about anything with how he's organically gotten over.
