LA Knight discusses his current run in the spotlight.
Throughout his career, the man behind the gimmick, Shaun Ricker, has been known by multiple names, each of which came with a distinct persona. From Eli Drake to Max Dupri, he has played a range of characters, but he has finally found something he can fully sink his teeth into with LA Knight.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Knight shared his thoughts on the gimmick and called it the culmination of his wife’s work. He noted that his words resonate with people because he believes what he’s saying.
“LA Knight is the culmination of all my life’s work,” Knight said. “You believe in the character when he speaks. The reason you believe in it is because I believe in it. I believe every damn word I’m saying. If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t see it.
