Looking at the current WWE stars, LA Knight has been at the top of the charts. Despite not getting the run he deserved, he has been able to captivate the audience with his skills. However, there’s a lot more to his personality that keeps the audience hooked on his presence. Talking about LA Knight without mentioning his theme music would do an injustice to the WWE star.
There has been a lot of talk about LA Knight‘s theme music as well as catchphrases. As the audience hums to the tune of his music, the deafening pop shows how much the audience is hooked on it. It wasn’t quite long back when fans observed something unique about his theme.
Frightful Wrestling took to X to share a personal opinion regarding LA Knight’s theme. “LA Knight’s theme reminds me of the GTA San Andreas theme,” it wrote and the fans couldn’t agree more. Soon, many fans expressed their opinion and acknowledged the tweet. “THANK YOU SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT,” wrote one user.
“Knew I wasn’t the only one,” wrote another user, who now felt being in the mainstream. “It’s even probably called ‘Welcome To LA’, like ‘Welcome to San Andreas’,” another fan pointed out the similarity between the two. A fan went ahead to cite “90s Dr Dre West Coast GFunk influence, ” as the link between them that makes both music similar.
LA Knight takes inspiration from Dr. Dre for his WWE presence
Dr. Dre has millions of fans across the globe and the WWE fame – LA Knight is one among them. The 40-year-old WWE star is an ardent fan of music. As mentioned above, his theme is greatly influenced by Dr. Dre’s aura which was mainstream in the late 90s. As a result, a lot of people adopted his music style as their theme.
Not only the theme but also LA Knight’s catchphrase has its roots in Dr. Dre’s music. ” ‘With everybody saying’ actually comes from uh ‘Let Me Ride’ by Dr. Dre on The Chronic album yeah. It’s the very last chorus just before that last chorus with everybody,” said the WWE star once talking to Sid Seixeiro on Breakfast Television.
Thus, Dr. Dre is just more than a producer for the 90s kids and WWE’s ‘Yeah movement’ star is no different. Having an immense love and passion for the music industry, Knight also shares a story about how his theme song came into being. Thus, it can be said that multiple people share their part in making LA Knight the man he is today.
