We don’t know who LA Knight will be feuding with as he chases his first championship in WWE, but it does seem his indirect feud with Hall of Famer Kevin Nash will continue regardless.
A couple weeks back on SmackDown, Knight poked fun at Nash’s infamous “adjective” flub in his 1996 WCW return promo. However veiled, it was a clear response to Big Sexy calling LA a knock-off of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
On the latest episode of his Kliq This podcast, Nash reacted to Knight’s grammar slam with a lengthy response which includes a sarcastic take on the contract negotiations LA is said to be in with WWE:
“I had read different things where he took a shot at me and I said, ‘How’s that really taking a shot at me?’ I said, ‘So what you’re basically saying is… this is a guy that basically’s a bottom feeder… Granted, I made a mistake because we didn’t have everything written. There was no Attitude Era. We had to invent the Attitude Era before you could rip off guys from the Attitude Era…
“I so mistakenly say ‘adjective’ instead of ‘verb.’ Which I guess, I don’t know, I grew up in Detroit. Maybe it’s not, wherever he grew up — somewhere in New Hampshire or Massachusetts or some white bread place — I just really wasn’t like, when I picked my action heroes or tough guys or even my favorite pro wrestlers when I was a kid, just — grammar and punctuation just wasn’t that important to me. I don’t ever remember saying llike, ‘Man, that guy’s grammar is so bad, I don’t think I can hang out with him anymore.’
