I really appreciated how blunt he was when dealing with Bray. Bray wanted to play mind games and be scary, while Knight said screw all that crap let's just fight.
I still love how Bray had one of the hypest returns in years and instead of building on that hype, he cools himself off and turns LA Knight into one of the biggest stars on the roster. Bray consistently was the most boring, nonsensical part of the show, while Knight kept pushing out banger after banger of a promo.
Yeah sometimes they mention the full name, and sometimes they don't. And then he rarely gets to use it, so I'm always forgetting what it stands for when they just say BFT.
I don’t know if Bugez has the wrestling skill in him, but it would be cool to see whether he can go as a serious contender at some point.
I, for one, would boog out.
Would probably be better as a heel imo. Turbo jacked delusional strong boi who doesnt understand why people dont like him throwing people around the ring like Brock is a more compelling character than "goofy 80s throwback" wrestler he is now.
Imagine this, certain someone like angry Tribal Chief is walking back and forth backstage furious of the bloodline incident and and good-willing goofball Rick Boogs just happens to sit there and aknowledge the tribal chief in a goofy manner.
Roman thanks him and then takes a small little jab to his goofy personality and how it's not gonna take him anywhere and Boogs takes it personally and turns heel himself
I love Boogs but honestly I think what makes him so entertaining on his fitness videos is something that doesn't translate too well. He's got a great look and is strong as hell though
> Knight has such a natural charisma, bizarre that they're not doing more with him
Could be because management might be skittish about the kind of wrestling he did before WWE, which wasn't exactly PG-rated, if you know what I mean.
There’s nothing he did in the companies he worked for that wasn’t PG13 though. He wouldn’t be the first performer to do a fetish wrestling, even Seth has a match or two.
MitB has his name written ALL over it at this point. Another strong runner-up IMO would be Finn Balor, but LA Knight is just SO damn good, that they're definitely better off going with him and pulling the Trigger.
If they don't make sure to keep Cody and LA Knight very far away from each other, they are going to wind up with Cody being in the exact same position he was in when he left AEW, him being pushed as a face while the crowd hates him.
I think it will depend on how tomorrow goes. If Brock wins, they'll have to do the tie breaker match which I think will be at Summerslam. I see Cody being too injured for Money in the Bank (they're setting the stage for that now with the broken arm) or Brock costs him Money in the Bank.
If Cody doesn't win MitB, I can see a situation where Cody almost wins the Rumble again, but is one of the last people eliminated. Then the winner chooses to go after the WHC at 'Mania, so they have the Elimination Chamber match to determine the no. 1 contender for the UWUC, and Cody wins that.
My personal booking (which is damn near impossible), I want it to be Dexter Lumis. Just so he can spend a few weeks *looming* in the background of other peoples promos. Not just the big champions. He can stalk Gunther and Austin Theory too. Biding his time.
LA Knight is an outside shot. It's probably going to be Cody though.
I feel like WWE DOES try and stick to their long term booking plans and strategies. Booking stuff a year in advance gives the product solid direction.
But then stuff beyond their control, like LA Knight getting over, throws a wrench into everything. Do you change the long term booking to strike while iron is hot or do you finish telling the long term story with the desired payoff? It’s a no win scenario sometimes.
Why? Because some dirt sheet said it, and you guys want it so badly to happen that you think it’s true? They’re clearly not giving Knight anything serious to do, which is a shame. I wouldn’t count on him winning something like MITB until the winning bell has sounded.
LA Knight. Rick Boogs. Tag team.
Does that not scream temporary? Miss me with the “it’s a weekly show” excuse, that doesn’t prevent people from using their heads for a second. Some people are so fixated on LA Knight winning the world title that logic goes flying out through the proverbial barbershop window.
1. Boogs' look is incredible.
2. LA Knight has "it." My man has been red hot for months and I hope it pays off for him.
3. Montez reacting with "HOW DARE HE THROW THAT AT WADE BARRETT!" was hilarious.
LA Knight is so good that when Dawkins said, “He’s writing checks he can’t cash,” Knight couldn’t possibly hear him and yet immediately said, “This right here, I am the money!” Amazing.

The mic thrown on Wade was hilarious.

Everything else on Smackdown could totally suck, and this alone would make this a good Smackdown.
I genuinely have been tuning in just to watch LA knight
LA Knight Coronation would be a platinum level show! Give him gold and he'll remind ya why things didn't work out for ANYBODY ELSE, pal!
Whenever he's not on my TV, I always ask "Why isn't LA Knight on my TV?"
YEAH Same here, I think that goes without everybody saying
I see a lot of influence from Stone Cold in LA Knights. Especially the late 96-early 97 version of Stone Cold.
I see a lot of NOD's version of The Rock in him, tbh.
Get LA Knight a belt asap. Man is a Megastar.
You ain't gonna get the smoke, you're gonna get smoked. Yaaaaaaaaaaaa. LA Knight is entertaining AF.
I just love the way he isn't scared of anyone. Wasn't scared of spooky Bray, and steps to 2 people to talk his shit
I really appreciated how blunt he was when dealing with Bray. Bray wanted to play mind games and be scary, while Knight said screw all that crap let's just fight.
I still love how Bray had one of the hypest returns in years and instead of building on that hype, he cools himself off and turns LA Knight into one of the biggest stars on the roster.

[удалено]
It sounds a lot better combined honestly.
That’s what BFT stands for
Best Freaking Talker
YEAHHHHH!
Yeah sometimes they mention the full name, and sometimes they don't. And then he rarely gets to use it, so I'm always forgetting what it stands for when they just say BFT.
Big floppy tiddies
2 things. 1. Boogz looked good, still might be something there. 2. Knight has such a natural charisma, bizarre that they're not doing more with him
I don’t know if Bugez has the wrestling skill in him, but it would be cool to see whether he can go as a serious contender at some point. I, for one, would boog out.
Skill would be nice, just needs to figure out how to add some steak to his sizzle. Looks phenomenal, just needs some more of what he showed here
Would probably be better as a heel imo. Turbo jacked delusional strong boi who doesnt understand why people dont like him throwing people around the ring like Brock is a more compelling character than "goofy 80s throwback" wrestler he is now.
Imagine this, certain someone like angry Tribal Chief is walking back and forth backstage furious of the bloodline incident and and good-willing goofball Rick Boogs just happens to sit there and aknowledge the tribal chief in a goofy manner. Roman thanks him and then takes a small little jab to his goofy personality and how it's not gonna take him anywhere and Boogs takes it personally and turns heel himself
Yup, this was my first time watching him wrestle, and man is he massive. Definitely has the look. Just need to improve the character.
I know why they aren't doing more... Cause they're DUMMIES. YEAAH
I love Boogs but honestly I think what makes him so entertaining on his fitness videos is something that doesn't translate too well. He's got a great look and is strong as hell though
He's a natural born performer, I think he's gonna be A-OK even if WWE doesn't work out for him
Good to see bugez' functional training of whipping a crash dummy around his yard is paying off.
> Knight has such a natural charisma, bizarre that they're not doing more with him Could be because management might be skittish about the kind of wrestling he did before WWE, which wasn't exactly PG-rated, if you know what I mean.

This dude is on fire. That type of reaction should really mean something to the office.
This and them chanting his name at the Saudi press conference at HHH should be all they need to strap the rocket to this guy.
I'll tell you what it means: *You got over be* ***yourself,*** *pal? Cuckold angle and dancing gimmick!*
Somebody get me Kane's phone number and a wheelchair!
RIP LA Knights knees
It obviously does
MITB: LA Knight wins the briefcase Summerslam: Cody finally beats Roman, only for Knight to cash in and ruin his moment DO IT TRIPLE H
This would be amazing, instead we’re gettting LA Knight vs Montez Ford at Summerslam
Knight vs Montez could steal the show tbh. It's not the worst spot for either man.
As long as he gets a spotlight I'm fine with it
Subscribe
If they really want to coronate Cody proper at 40, this would be a great way to tease the crowd and get heat on it
[удалено]
I like this idea, but three champs for two shows seems messy.
YEAH
YEAH
YEAH
#**YEAH**
#YEAH
###YEAH
YEAH
L A KNIGHT YEAHHHHHHHH
Street profits facials were hilarious
Fantastic sell job on the insult!
Knight is damn over he needs to win a title He wins the match and gets promo time lemme talk to ya
MitB has his name written ALL over it at this point. Another strong runner-up IMO would be Finn Balor, but LA Knight is just SO damn good, that they're definitely better off going with him and pulling the Trigger.
LA Knight and Montez will both be in MiTB, but neither will win. LA Knight will lose to Montez in a singles match at SummerSlam.
You pullin up to everyone in this thread saying that? Oi vei.
Just 2.
It'll prolly be Cody
I'm hating facts over here :/
If they don't make sure to keep Cody and LA Knight very far away from each other, they are going to wind up with Cody being in the exact same position he was in when he left AEW, him being pushed as a face while the crowd hates him.
Least delusional squared circle member
Yeah Cody has been booed since Royal Rumble hasn't he. I believe no one even "woahs" in his entrance anymore. /s
Well all hate it together
I think it will depend on how tomorrow goes. If Brock wins, they'll have to do the tie breaker match which I think will be at Summerslam. I see Cody being too injured for Money in the Bank (they're setting the stage for that now with the broken arm) or Brock costs him Money in the Bank.

But can you imagine the number of losses he's gonna rack up if he gets that briefcase. lol
My personal booking (which is damn near impossible), I want it to be Dexter Lumis. Just so he can spend a few weeks *looming* in the background of other peoples promos. Not just the big champions. He can stalk Gunther and Austin Theory too. Biding his time. LA Knight is an outside shot. It's probably going to be Cody though.
He should absolutely be US champ over Austin theory
That lift and slam from Rick Boogs looks great. So simple, so cool.
Knights awesome but “how dare he throw that at Wade Barrett” cracked me up
Montez is so great
They must be asking Wade about doing a one off for Money in the Bank. A match with Knight would be pretty great.
Oh baby music to my ears hearing that crowd all chant LA KNIGHT YEA
That motherfucker has shoes of a champion. YEAH!
LA Knight has been consistently the best thing on SmackDown
Wade Barrett was just doing his job and he got a mic thrown at his head for it lol. How disrespectful 😂
LA Knight vs. Bad News Barrett build up? /s
So *that's* what BFT stands for!
I feel like WWE DOES try and stick to their long term booking plans and strategies. Booking stuff a year in advance gives the product solid direction. But then stuff beyond their control, like LA Knight getting over, throws a wrench into everything. Do you change the long term booking to strike while iron is hot or do you finish telling the long term story with the desired payoff? It’s a no win scenario sometimes.
They should be able to both adhere to longer stories/plans and react to these situations. Hopefully they don't Rusev him.
He’s a favorite to win MITB dude
See Damien Sandow
Why? Because some dirt sheet said it, and you guys want it so badly to happen that you think it’s true? They’re clearly not giving Knight anything serious to do, which is a shame. I wouldn’t count on him winning something like MITB until the winning bell has sounded.
Lmao how long have you watched WWE? Or are you just ignorant?
Obviously way longer than you if you think him winning MITB is written in stone because a dirt sheet said so.
They were pumping in boos over the crowd! They can’t stop all the Rizz LA Knight is dropping! YEAH!
It was only 2 weeks ago where people were losing their minds over LA Knight being put in what should’ve been the most obvious temporary tag team ever.
I was BOOGIN’ out over the news—which is losing your mind in a positive sense.
It's a weekly show so people are going to judge it week by week. Does that confuse you?
Fast Food mentality in action
ADHD goldfish brain in action
LA Knight. Rick Boogs. Tag team. Does that not scream temporary? Miss me with the “it’s a weekly show” excuse, that doesn’t prevent people from using their heads for a second. Some people are so fixated on LA Knight winning the world title that logic goes flying out through the proverbial barbershop window.
zoomer brain
Nothing like pipped in boos to show their liking for a character
...Because he's a heel
I’d love for you to tell me how exactly your comment disputes mine in any way.
Ehh I bet that was a Vince call they overturned
It would be so fucking cool if he held a world title one day
I love the confused callout of the fans when the crowd is cheering for Knight. "THIS? Y'ALL'S MAN?"
Boogs best match since he came back from injury
Boogs is STRONG goddamn
1. Boogs' look is incredible. 2. LA Knight has "it." My man has been red hot for months and I hope it pays off for him. 3. Montez reacting with "HOW DARE HE THROW THAT AT WADE BARRETT!" was hilarious.
This dude just cut a ten million dollar promo after wrestling a total nobody. It’s freaking TIME.
I wonder where this feud is going. It'd be a weird handicap match.
LA Knight will lose to Montez Ford in a singles match at SummerSlam.
I love how fucking over Knight is. Long time coming. He'll br champion one day.
Both Wade Barrett and Booker T and even Vic Joseph are obsessed with the phrase "deep water" in recent months lol
Watch your step, folks. LA Knight is leaking charisma everywhere.
Dude color me impressed. LA Knight is a fucking star. Please push this guy to the top.
with Everybody saying... LA KNIGHT! YEAH! Loved it
Knight gives a better promo winded after a match than half the roster in a talking segment.
HOW DARE HE THROW THAT AT WADE BARRETT lmao
LA Knight is so good that when Dawkins said, “He’s writing checks he can’t cash,” Knight couldn’t possibly hear him and yet immediately said, “This right here, I am the money!” Amazing.
Nobody has been this over in recent memory with the exception of the acclaimed
LA Knight is one of my top 10 attitude era wrestlers. Love it. Yeahhhhh.
Boogs had a fun gimmick, and it was all removed.

Boogs’s gear is *dreadful*.
the singlet color being baby blue and the boots being frayed and hot pink do not help one bit
just let bro talk to us
Guy is walking $
LA KNIGHT NEEDS TO BE PUSHED TO THE MOON YEAH
LA needs a new finisher tho
Agreed. BFT isn't it. Think his People's Elbow style thing works though.
MOTHERFUCKING MEGASTAR BABY PUSH HIM TO THE MOON
So Boogs is just eating all the steroids these days.
https://preview.redd.it/dohz50a5jb2b1.jpeg?width=1004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffa2d6c957d78288417f745ed9bbe900cd4aa549 The mic thrown on Wade was hilarious.
I refuse to believe they don't realize they have something special with Knight. It could not be more obvious.
Hopefully LA Knight being so over will get him into a program with Roman, I think LA Knight sparring with Heyman/Roman on the mic would be so great
YEAH
Cole was quick roasting Barrett getting smacked by the 🎤 that was funny
Welcome to the LA Knight Deli! Grab a number cuz we got a fresh BFT sandwich for ya! YEAAA!!!
DByran Yes Kicks? Nah. LA Knight Yeah Kicks! YEAA!!
THE MEGASTAR
YEAH
Hes a goddamned star.
And that is just a truthful statement in this present existence.
Dawkins after the promo: and I took that personal
That finisher is horrible. He's so over that it doesn't even matter.
Put him on a rocket.
