In a recent interview, WWE Superstar LA Knight opened up on how The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin influenced him to become the star he is today.
A lot of WWE fans believe LA Knight tries to imitate The Rock a lot during his promos. It actually could be true, as the man himself said that he gain more confidence in life after watching The Rock and Steve Austin during the WWE Attitude Era.
On Chris Van Vliet's Insight podcast, Knight talked about how he was a shy kid and wanted to get out of his shell.
"Oh, man. Shy, shy kid. Umm, but I always wanted to be out of my shell. I always like so umm, you know those hand mixers and it has like the little silver thing, you pull it off and your mom mixes some cake batter, you can lick it or whatever. I used to pretend those were microphones and uh, it was big," said Knight. [From 4:28 to 4:50]

LA Knight added that he got confident after watching The Rock and Steve Austin during the WWE Attitude Era. He also said that at first, he was faking his confident personality, but after some time, it became natural for him.
"The Attitude Era started to pick up a little bit and you got The Rock and Steve Austin and like those two guys really kind of fed me a lot of my confidence in high school and a lot of it was fake. I was faking the hell out of it until eventually it kind of became more natural, and so I came out of my shell a little more after that but I'm still(shy), if I go into a room and I don't know people, I'll stay to myself for the most part unless I know a person or two then maybe I'll go in and just talk some trash, who knows?"
