I had seriously considered taking Kevin Nash just for fun, but he doesn't really fit what I'm going for. ...Although him sticking out would be even funnier, actually.

I'm a real sick individual
I'm built different
I'm a demon. I have no loyalty to anyone. Never have, never will.
I'm going to make a different card for each matchup in the round robin.
This shit ain't nothing to me, man.

OK well now I really don't know who the fuck Austin Theory is, because the LA Night guy with the name of a 1992 hair gel/shoe brand that was just picked is who I thought Austin Theory was, the guy in Ness avatar? Fuck me.

Fuck me. They are both bland, overhyped, and overrated. You’re not missing anything. They had LA Knight in a great role as a manager named Max Dupri which, IMO was the best use of him because his promos are a one note bad cosplay of an Attitude Era top guy, and he’s PASSABLE at best in ring.

He’s figured out how to play the guy who “deserves” to be the top guy, but when you actually need him to be the top guy, you realize there’s nothing there. Reminds me of Ken Anderson when everyone thought he was going to lead the way to the next boom, and there really just wasn’t much besides a dude who screamed “KENNEDY”.

He’s over for now. He’s not over for the right reasons, so it won’t be sustainable.

People want see him enter, do his catch phrases (that are just attitude era regurgitations) once you d seen the act once or twice, there’s nothing new. He’s got no staying power. And he’s not good in the ring.

If I may interject, since I share 1RealSmartAlex,'s opinion, LA Knight (and Jey Uso, for that matter), are over in a superficial sense. They've both found something that the crowd can latch on to, essentially a one word catchphrase. To sustain that the catchphrase needs to be established backed up by some charisma and mic skills, with both wrestlers have, to their credit. LA Knight is over because the crowd like hearing him say "YEAH!" and "Nah nah!". It's not a bad thing. Getting to that stage and staying there is something few wrestlers have accomplished, and it should be praised. But he's reached his ceiling - because he can't create a deeper connection. The promos are one-dimensional, so are the matches. There's a reason a guy like Cody Rhodes wins Royal Rumbles, main events Wrestlemanias, becomes the face of the company. Yes, he has the superficial stuff (the entrance music, "what d'ya wanna talk about?"), but through his promos, his rivalries, and his ring work, he's able to connect to the fans on a deeper level.

Rock now is more like LA Knight, Rock prime was closer to what Emp was saying about Cody.

Cody hasn’t proved shit without the Bloodline yet so he too may have already reached his ceiling.
I still think him going heel would be best because this is “unsustainable” if we’re throwing that word out freely.

I still think him going heel would be best because this is “unsustainable” if we’re throwing that word out freely. I’m not sure I’m sold on Cody if we’re being honest. I used to hate him, and now I don’t mind him. I think he’s got more legs as a heel, but if he can make the most genuinely likable human being in the world babyface schtick work, he might as well milk it until it’s dry. As for LA Knight, I just think he’s a fucking terrible choice for a top guy. His voice is nails on a chalkboard, his promos are cheesy as fuck, and he is like lower mid card to mid card at best in the ring. I legitimately don’t understand why people like him. I found Max Dupri more engaging. Besides, dude is 43 not like he can be the next top guy to carry the company for ten years.

And to be absolutely fair, I am not saying there is no spot for him on the roster or on the card. I just don't think he's a top guy.

LA Knight was the best wrestler drafted in the 10th round. I’d take him over anyone else everyone else picked. Great choice! And he is so utility, you can use him anywhere on the card.
