Wrestling legend gives LA Knight hilarious advice for a promo on WWE SmackDown
Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette recently suggested that LA Knight should do something inappropriate on WWE television.
Knight has become one of the most popular superstars in the company by developing an organic connection with the WWE Universe. The fans have gotten behind him and he consistently receives one of the best reactions from the crowd every single week.
Speaking on a recent edition of Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru, the legendary manager suggested that LA Knight would get a huge pop if he farted into the microphone.
"I think he should come out, bend over and fart into the microphone and let the people give him a standing ovation just to prove he can do it. No, I'm serious. If he just came out and said, 'Let me talk to you. I want to prove a point,' and bend over and fart into the microphone, I guarantee you the place will blow. He would fart into the microphone and the people would blow and give him a standing ovation and he would point three times 'LA Knight, Yeah!' and he'd leave," said Cornette. [2:38-3:21]
