10 WWE & AEW Gimmicks That Belong In A Different Era

10. LA Knight

LA Knight certainly fits the remit of a WWE Superstar.

He is a devilishly handsome man, with a killer physique and has raw charisma that shines through with every promo. In the world of NXT 2.0, he certainly feels more at home than the darker, grittier NXT where he made his debut.

In the ring, he is certainly capable of holding his own, but in the current landscape of the super worker, he feels a little flat at times. When the majority of the roster is capable of explosive, pulse-racing action, there are times were Knight feels a little bit plodding.

However, had LA Knight walked down the ramp at the height of the Ruthless Aggression Era, he would have been a bonafide star. There are serious Mr Kennedy vibes about Knight, where his cocky attitude and wonderful command of the crowd would have seen him certainly involved in the main event picture.

Back then, there were workers such as Vladimir Kozlov and Heidenreich occupying seats near the top of the table and compared to them, Knight would have been a megastar. As it is, he feels a little lost in the current era and will undoubtedly be seen as fodder to the newer generation on NXT 2.0.
