Over the years, people have compared young wrestlers to Dwayne Johnson many times, but this time is different. Not only does the supposed Johnson impersonator, LA Knight has the potential, but he is also beloved by the fans. His influence is truly taking over the audience and WWE couldn’t be happier.

But a few weeks ago, Kevin Nash compared Knight to Johnson and Twitter erupted in chaos. While one WWE Hall of Famer called him a copycat of Johnson, another legend just came out to justify Knight’s sudden popularity.

Despite getting slammed as a Dwayne Johnson copycat, this WWE legend comes to save LA Knight

On his podcast, My World With Jeff Jarrett, the WCW/WWE/TNA legend talked extensively about the Knight discourse. First, he talked about how companies emulate the successes of other companies, like Nintendo, for instance. Then, he said, it’s similar in every industry, even in the wrestling business.

Then he continued to say, “Well then, they’re not just uber-successful, but innovators, if you will. But getting into philosophy, everything starts as a thought, and what are thoughts made of? In many ways, divine inspiration, but intuitive thought. It’s all kind of what you’ve seen before, and how can I do something a little different?”

At one time, WWE was piping in boos for him when the audience’s cheer was blasting the arena. But with the current trajectory, it looks like Knight will be a heavy hitter in the years to come.
