10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About LA Knight
2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine Cameo
Knight soon took his “blink and you’ll miss it” cameo skills to the mainstream and appeared in hit police comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Season 2, Episode 17). He referred to his role in the Boyle-Linetti Wedding episode as his “10 seconds on Brooklyn Nine Nine”.
Knight is shown in a brief aside that illustrates that Lt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) has been ordained to perform marriage ceremonies. The wrestler has a non-speaking role as Mario, a bodybuilding groom who is marrying Shannon, his equally stacked bride, in what is evidently their favourite place – the gym.
We only hear part of Terry’s vows:
“Mario, Shannon, yesterday it was chest and shoulders, today, and for the rest of your life, it’s heart and soul.”
Yet this shows enough promise for him to have a future in wedding ceremonies should he want a break from the precinct.
Drake’s role may be small, but this coupled with his appearance on The Hero shows that he has serious aspirations in the wider media as well as in professional wrestling. Again, the obvious comparison is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnston. This may seem like a stretch, however, even The Rock’s acting career started in network TV comedy (That ‘70s Show, Season 1, Episode 15).
