Dude is decent in ring, but absolutely dynamite on the mic, which in the WWE should get you slotted nicely in the midcard and the occasional main event flirtation. WWE should have had him take the US belt off the A-Town Clown, like, 4 days ago. YEAH

Great points but I see him having a snowball in hell’s chance of taking the title from Roman. Agreed. It's probably going to Cody Rhodes.

Or a better question of all the under pushed talented people in WWE why have people chosen LA Knight? Why not an AJ Styles, Butch, Kizer, Shinsuke, Shemus, or heck even Miz. The support seems so random, and no one out side of one person has really hit on why. He's newer than all of them, shows better charisma at the moment than all of them, and is better on the mic than all of them.

The support seems so random, and no one out side of one person has really hit on why. I mean, if this stuff was an exact science, we wouldn’t have had to deal with a drought of talent being pushed and tossed aside after the Monday Night Wars ended and the InVasion bombed before they stumbled into the decision of not firing John Cena and letting him rap. People like him, he’s selling merch and people watch his segments. Sort of the three things you need to be a successful pro wrestler for the most part. I don’t know what you expect anyone to say except that. He's also "TV fresh" in a way Sheamus, Shinsuke, AJ, etc, aren't as they've been featured for years, especially Sheamus. Do I think his freshness will wear off for people? Certainly, but right now, he's got a lot of fan support.

Just because people cheer it, doesn't mean they aren't cheering ironically... A lot of AEW's biggest stars are built around irony. Like The Acclaimed...

The support seems so random, and no one out side of one person has really hit on why. He's newer than all of them, shows better charisma at the moment than all of them, and is better on the mic than all of them. 100% -AJ is amazing in the ring, but can’t talk. -Butch is nailing his character work and can really work, but can’t talk -Kizer, I’m assuming is my boy Ludwig, rules, but he’s seen as second fiddle to da ring general -Shinsuke has charisma for days, but has always choked when given the chance, so he’s old news to a lot of the fans (hoping the heel turn brings them back, cause he rules) -Shemus was/is crazy over, but nobody wants to see him go over new favorites, especially after he was in a 9 month feud with Gunther. I love Sheamus and that’s something I wouldn’t have even considered saying 5 years ago -Miz is awesome, but is a bad face. So, he’s a great gatekeeper for new faces All of those guys mentioned are great, but aren’t new like LA Knight is and outside of Miz, can’t sell you on themselves or an upcoming match on the mic like he can.

I’m proud of you for not quitting this losing argument. I also don’t think that you understand that people love charismatic dudes that can talk, like The Acclaimed.

I don't get why people are so hostile to this question...If you wanna pay your money and cheer for who ever go for it. I haven't said anyone was wrong for supporting him.

What about LÁ Knight is bad or absurd though? He’s a decent wrestler that is a good promo and a catchphrase machine. This formula has worked for decades now.

He's kind of a one dimensional character who's best parts a lot of people consider ripped off from other people, who is not really a good wrestler... (p.s. I'm not saying you're wrong if you disagree) I understand that some people actually like him and think he's exceptionally talented. I however am wondering if a large portion of that support see's the flaws and cheers because of them.

This is such a weird thread, lol. It's possible to just not like someone and also admit they're genuinely over.

You just keep being like "but he sucks... So it's ironic, right?"
