Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to noon Eastern time. And we're here with our masters of

the ring, Mark Henry, Tommy Dreamer, Bully Ray. And to topic today, I, is a really good one. It's definitely a hot one right now.

And that is L.A. Knight. And he's hot. But he needs to get to that next step, that next level.

How would you do it? Who better to answer than our Masters of the Ring? So we'll start with the

world strongest man, Mark, Mark, what would be in your mind the next step for L.A. Knight?

Well, Dave, I really do think that because of the popularity, because of the fact that the fans

chose him, that we start him if i was if i was in

control uh i would start him as a baby face i i mean just lean into it with the intent on getting

everybody on his side and then having him pull a Mark Henry and pull the rug out from under their ass because really in his heart he's a heel and he loves the hill he loves being a hill and I would say okay let's let's do the baby face thing just to get them.

And then once we get them real then, real nice and tight,

I would have him just, you know, drop the hammer on somebody that he befriended,

that he tagged with, that he rescued, that whatever it is that we did with him.

But the whole point is to put the spotlight on him to, you know, people say, oh, you got to put the rocket on him.

Like, all of that stuff is, you know, just words.

Action is what you need.

You need to put him in a spot where every week he's got that promo like the rock, the promo like Steve Austin.

You got to put him in a place where weekly on every show, if you can, that you have him come in and I just see problems around here.

And I'm here to, I'm here to fix it.
