LA Knight feels underappreciated.
The WWE star recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He talked about things such as his continued popularity with the audience, not having a direction right now, his famous meme with Roman Reigns, and more.
During the talk, the 43-year-old was asked if he has given any thought to how long he wants to continue wrestling. LA Knight first mentioned that he feels good physically and he can continue competing for a long time, but claimed that he is still ‘looking at the clock all the time.’ When asked if this means he will still be wrestling in his fifties, the former US Champion confirmed that he will at least be done with full-time wrestling by that point:
No! f*ck no. Would I like to be able to come in and maybe do an occasional appearance? Yeah, sure, maybe. But I don’t think I’ve been built up to the point where I can do like an Undertaker-type thing or an Austin thing or something like that. So I don’t think that’s in my future either. So it’s pretty much gonna be at some point when I decide to call it I’m gonna disappear in the sunset, and you’ll just never see me again.
No Matter Where I’ve Gone: LA Knight
LA Knight explained that once he retires, he will only resurface on rare occasions. He doubted that he will be seen a lot, however, as the wrestling veteran feels he is very underappreciated in the business. He doesn’t even know if his WWE career will be considered Hall of Fame worthy by the company:
I’m not even joking; I’m being dead ass serious. If they decide at some point, they get crazy enough to go, we’re gonna put him in the Hall of Fame, sure, I’ll come back do that. But I got a feeling that probably ain’t gonna happen either. But maybe that’s my own feeling of just like never being… No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve always felt underappreciated in the wrestling business, but I don’t know.
Elsewhere in the interview, LA Knight talked about sharing a moment with Brock Lesnar during the Royal Rumble this year and suggested that the whole thing did not go exactly as planned. You can check out his remarks on the matter here.
