I like LA Knight, but nah, he's not world champion material.
He's a high mid card guy who's just a step below the tippy top of the card.
I've said it before, if you're 40+ in the wrestling business and have never been a top guy anywhere there's probably a good reason.
He's a Ricky Steamboat or a Razor Ramon. Both have 5 star matches when they were in mid-tier stints.

Give me a memorable LA Knight match...
Is that his fault? Booking has NOT been kind to him! You can make the argument that some of that is also his fault as well. But he doesn't win when it counts...I mean outside of the Slim Jim Battle Royal. WWE doesn't play to a persons strengths, they play to put the other guy over. Especially talent like LA Knight. How many three way matches has he had where he's on the losing end of Steiner Math? Two years ago he was OVER and it always seems like they use him as a transition champion. But I see your point and concede mine.

Just answer me this, and yes, I understand your point but....What has booking got to do with this cat falling off the ropes, forgetting who he's cutting a promo on and botching moves constantly? For a vet his age, none of this is a good look.

This isn't a reply to you, this is me just being petty...how is AEW trolled about being "where the best wrestle" and he's as high up as he is?

Again sorry, that just chaps my ass that one company can botch matches, but amazingly another companies botches are overlooked. Botched spots are just a name of the game in what wrestling has become. But has NOTHING to do with what we're talking about so thank you for indulging my petty.

The booking is creating those matches that is gonna have this doofus try these movesets that doesn't suit him. They go over all this in the booking, Promos really aren't fair as A LOT of them are being done live. The luxury of having them taped so they can be redone and edited gives an unfair advantage.

Is LA Knight the equivalent to a Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. That depends. A one to one translation? GOD NO!!!! The caliber of what a Ricky the Dragon Steamboat was is what I meant. His most memorable matches are for second tier titles while never holding a first tier title. LA Knight had some really good matches in NWA so I know he can go, it's just the company he works for gives a rushed product. Eating at Morton Steakhouse versus Outback versus McDonalds. The best you're going to get nowadays is an Outback-like match doesn't matter what promotion. The problem is WWE specializes more in McDonalds than Outback and that isn't his fault.

*Ricky did hold a first tier title for NWA and that was his only World Heavyweight title
