Diamond Dallas Page has high praise for WWE Superstar LA Knight. Fans have often drawn comparisons between the two, citing their late bloom in the industry and their charismatic mic work. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Page addressed these comparisons and defended Knight against those who claim he is copying stars from previous eras.
“I love that kid, man. I love the tenacity of the stick to it, it took him a long time to get to that character,” Page said. “Hopefully at some point he gets a chance to really get that ball, because he can run with it, give him that damn ball, because that cat, he’s got it all.”
Page rejected the notion that Knight is simply an imitation of wrestlers like The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin.
“People who say that he’s mimicking this character, that character, that’s so wrong,” Page stated. “He’s a piece of all that. He grew up on all of us coming up wanting to do what we do, and now he’s doing it at its highest level. So I saw that article actually sent it to him, because it was really cool the way they [did it].”
