Kevin Nash claims LA Knight is a “rip-off of The Rock”
One of the members of the nWo has made it clear he is no fan of Knight. During a recent episode of his ‘Kliq This’ podcast, Kevin Nash said he sees nothing original in the star, who he feels is “an absolute rip-off of The Rock.”
“Am I the only one that sees like an absolute rip off of The Rock to the point when he cut the promo on fu**ing Logan Paul or whatever the fu** his name is.
“The only thing he didn’t do is turn the motherfu**er sideways. Jesus Christ, does everybody have amnesia? There’s nothing original.”
Nash isn’t the only one to have seen similarities between Knight and The Great One. The star recently addressed the comparisons, saying that, although there are similarities, he brings a “different package” to the table, and aims to surpass the former WWE Champion.
