LA Knight Comments on His In-Ring Future

WWE Superstar LA Knight recently opened up about how long he wants to continue wrestling. Knight, 43, has wrestled for several promotions since making his in-ring debut in February 2003. The former WWE United States Champion recently appeared on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, where he was asked about how much longer he wants to go inside the squared circle.

The Megastar said he’s always looking at the clock, and while, from a physical standpoint, he could wrestle as long as he wants, he can’t say the same for the mental side of things. When asked if he’d continue wrestling well into his 50s, Knight said no. Below are the highlights:

On How Much Longer He Wants to Continue Wrestling

“All the time. I’m looking at the clock all the time. The funny thing is, physically, I could do this for a long time. I’m really good physically. Mentally, I’m just like, I’m gonna snuggle puppies.”

LA Knight on If He Wants To Wrestle Into His 50s

“No! f*ck no. Would I like to be able to come in and maybe do an occasional appearance? Yeah, sure, maybe. But I don’t think I’ve been built up to the point where I can do like an Undertaker-type thing or an Austin thing or something like that. So I don’t think that’s in my future either. So it’s pretty much gonna be at some point when I decide to call it; I’m gonna disappear in the sunset, and you’ll just never see me again. I’m not even joking; I’m being dead-a*s serious.

“If they decide at some point they get crazy enough to go, ‘We’re gonna put him in the Hall of Fame,’ sure, I’ll come back do that. But I got a feeling that probably ain’t gonna happen either. But maybe that’s my own feeling of just like never being… No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve always felt underappreciated in the wrestling business, but I don’t know.”
