The WWE is heading to the The O2 Arena for Money in the Bank next weekend. One WWE superstar has made the ultimate challenge as he prepares for the Money in Back ladder match. He wants to be the REAL King of the Ring…and more.
“I got to go to the top man and run for King Charles. I know he’s old and beaten down and you know busted up but I’ve got to take the crown,” said LA Knight to The Daily Star.
In the interview, the outspoken WWE superstar also had this to say about the current state of wrestling in general.
“There’s a lot of guys out there just doing their routines, doing the tumbling, and they’re doing their gymnastics and that kind of stuff – I don’t do that,” he said about his style.
He also explained what he feels are his strengths as a performer.
“If you look at the biggest swells in the industry, you’re looking at the golden era with Hogan – big time charisma – you’re looking at the at the Attitude Era with with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was all big time charisma, nobody was doing crazy flips. I mean, some of the guys were doing that but those are the guys on the undercard card, and no disrespect to that as that’s something that you need on the card, but for the guys that I wanted to be and the guys that I wanted to emulate and where I wanted to be on the card – I knew who I wanted to be,” he said.
About his chances to win Money in the Bank, Knight is feeling the pressure but not from fans or those in the WWE.
“So all the pressure, any pressure that anybody can put on me out there cannot compare to the pressure that I’m going to put on myself,” he said.
