LA Knight has revealed his stance on celebrity involvement in wrestling.
Wrestling has a long history of embarrassing celebrity involvement. While recent crop of talents like Pat McAfee, Logan Paul, and Bad Bunny have done a lot to change this perception, caution is still needed while allowing famous people to get involved in the physical side of the business.
The WWE star was asked about his stance on the matter during an interview with Battleground podcast. LA Knight explained that not everyone has an athletic bone in their body so you\'ve got be a picky about which names you allow to experience the physical side of things:
\"Not everybody can do this. That’s my one qualm with having too many celebrities do this, it gives people the idea that anybody can do this. Not anybody can do this, very few people can do this and do it well. I will give credit to Logan Paul, he’s a hell of an athlete and can do a whole lot of crazy things that I wouldn’t even dare do.\

Knight also talked about Snooki as an example of someone who should have never been in the ring. The reality TV star wrestled in a six-person mixed tag team match at WrestleMania XXVII:
\"That’s one of the great examples. No offense to my sweet Snooki out there, never met her in my life, but look, that’s another example of like, I understand the idea, I understand the reasoning, we’re going cross promotion but some people just don’t belong in a ring if I’m honest.\
The match saw Snooki teaming up with John Morrison and Trish Stratus to face off against Dolph Ziggler and LayCool. The bout lasted only 3 minutes 15 seconds with Snooki pinning Michelle McCool to get the victory for her team.
