Nash first weighed in on Knight’s success on an episode of “Kliq This” in July, wondering aloud, “Am I the only one who sees an absolute ripoff of The Rock?” He’d later double down on his observation, calling Knight a blatant ripoff of The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and while he said he didn’t mean any harm, he also made it clear that he wouldn’t be apologizing for his take.

Foley sees the comparisons made by Nash (and others) as nothing but a positive, and compared it to his own career, in which he drew inspiration from others as well. “[Nash’s] knock on LA Knight is that he’s combining The Rock and Steve [Austin], right?” Foley posed. “I gotta tell ya, if you gotta combine two people that’s not a bad way to go. I’m a guy who gleaned so much of what he did from Terry Funk,” Foley added, “so I’m not one to throw stones.”

Ultimately, Foley said, this is all a good thing for LA Knight and he has no concerns whatsoever as to where this could lead. “I think it’s pretty funny and I think it only builds interest in LA Knight,” he emphasized. “If it was hurting his career, I would worry about it but I think he’s gonna be just fine.”
