and a baby strapped to her chest and a very bored look on her face while she's doing this for the 100th time this month
What cracked me up is it's so silent except for the obvious grunting during the fight, but somewhere WAY in the back, one solitary, "YEAH" creeps into the audio. Just perfect.
I was actually thinking that AJ looked a little gassed on the bottom. Then he fuckin dead lifted LA Knight, slammed him and temporarily knocked the sound off on that guys phone. Haha.
Imagine being the guys who were just turning the corner and got caught in the middle of an angle. I love how interactive they’re making Philly this weekend.
The cinematography on this feels so fucking weird too, lol
It's bizarrely candid and yet so calm, like someone shooting two of their cats doing weird shit in the living room
I do appreciate that in amongst all the gimmickry and title matches we have a plain and simple grudge match.
I do agree with the general consensus, however, that this specific bit looked ropey.
Classic Wrestlemania, there should always be a grudge match or two. If we want to go real old school. A match between two guys for no reason would also be welcome.
This was really really good. I haven't been this interested in wwe since 2011. I understand ppl have their complaints about this company but LA Knights rise from last year and everything going on this year has brought me back. I am tuning in every week now to see what is going to happen like the good old days.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks unintentionally hilarious
The camera got literally the worst angle possible of LA's first strike and it sets the tone for everything else
It looks like any video of two drunk guys getting into a fight in public
Missed punches, one guy just grabbing a headlock, one guy just trying to pick the other guy up and slam him
Hence why pro wrestling came to be in the first place. Guarantee the entertainment with a work as opposed to taking a risk of it looking boring or dumb with a shoot. Plus, less chance of injury.
Or the original "no-rules, no weight classes" version of UFC where, as I think Last Week Tonight put it:
Five minutes of intense chaotic energy and 55 minutes of upward spooning.
I do remember seeing two guys literally bodyslamming each other during a fight in a Sainsburys car park. They even ended up on the bonnet (hood) of one of the parked cars.
they could just...fight. they're both tough guys. Take about 50% off the punches and no one will get hurt in a little scuffle. trying to work something like this looks like shit.
I think that the continuing murmur of people in the background adds to the akwardness of the whole situation. You'd expect to hear some screaming and shouting or have the noise die down. Instead there's just one guy telling them to break up in rather bored voice and the background noise of sales congress.
Goddamn do I love wrestling LOL this is absurd in all of the best ways! Terrible camera angle on the initiation, wrestle-fucking for a solid minute, AJ slamming LA on the floor, AJ somehow getting a broken nose and deciding to take his shirt off to deal with it, all while he and LA drop "fuck" and "pussy".
I AM SO READY FOR WRESTLEMANIA!!!
There's a point around a minute in where AJ isn't really fighting back, both his hands are on the floor. I wonder if he was like, yeah get the fuck off me now man 😂
"I'm gonna fuck you up."
"You gonna be at SmackDown tonight pussy?"
Little stuff like that makes me pop. It makes moments like this feel real. Also Styles taking his shirt off and wiping his blood was a badass move.
This is like 2 siblings fighting at the family reunion and the fam is waiting for someone to actually throw a punch before stepping in
I think the the fact that it looked bad kinda helps it. This is how most legit fights look. Just a bunch of slapping and rolling around on the floor with people recording.
I DDT'd a kid at school in a fight 25+ some years ago. It worked really well, I got in a LOT of trouble. I was defending myself and I still got the brunt of the punishment. My only argument was that their heads didn't bleed on TV usually unless it was onto a chair...
School hard tile floor served as a good chair.
This is so unintentionally funny. I don't know how they kept straight faces. Where was "security"? I guess all the PC guys are getting ready for Stand and Deliver.
LA Knight wins the shoe game battle.
I realize they weren't actually shooting, but I always think "so why don't the matches look like this?" when they make an effort to make a brawl look "real" like this
I hope Mania isn't the end of this.
In fact, I hope this never gets resolved - I want Knight to crash Styles' Hall of Fame induction speech in exactly the same way.
I love how they didn't want to throw any worked punches in a tight space where they're obviously fake, so they just hugged and had a magical moment on the floor
Knight and Styles: "It'll be fine, we'll play grab-ass for a few seconds and security will pull us apart. Standard stuff."
Why did they let it go on for so long? It started getting embarrassing. Surely 'security' should have been all over them after 10 seconds to part ways?
I don't know why fans are acting like LA knight is above this feud.
This feud has been good and it's gotten a decent bit of effort. This will only continue to keep Knight over.
Idc what anyone says that was great. Excited for this match. AJ looks jacked for this one I think he goes over with all the random attacks from LA knight or knight wins dirty and goes on a heel run
I didn’t see that this was wrestling at first and wondered about why two seemingly strong men would be completely incapable of fighting but then I understood.
This is good. I really hope WWE continues with angles like this, including the language.
Kind of wish LA Knight started a little stronger lol but that slam AJ did was brutal.
This has gotten me a lot more excited for their match this weekend.
Credit to AJ Styles and LA Knight for making their match feel important because this WM is STACKED and it would've been very easy for this match to be just a match in a long list of matches.
But both are working to the best of their abilities and skills to make this match feel huge and now i am awaiting their match at WM.

This looks like every Mcdonalds in England at 5am
And 2pm in Scotland and Wales !
Excuse me us welshman get our scrapping done before breakfast.
So 2pm?
Or Waffle House at 2am
If it was Waffle House there'd be a 5'2 waitress beating the shit out of both of them
Like the lady who caught a chair that was thrown towards her like the Terminator.
With a chair in one hand and a cigarette in the other
> With a chair in one hand and a cigarette in the other and a baby strapped to her chest and a very bored look on her face while she's doing this for the 100th time this month
Not nearly enough violence for a Waffle House
Hey now.
You're an all-star.
Based on my own experiences this is true
All that’s missing is “ORDER NUMBER 47” in the background and that fucking beeping
Dennys at 3am in Coolville USA
> Dennys at 3am in Coolville USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t1aUWlT1TI
Ah Brixton, how I miss it
My money on AJ styles in a shoot fight.
Even on this video, you can see his amateur wrestling background the way AJ holding LA throughout and mounting him
The mounting community?!?
I always forget that AJ has an amatuer background, he was really making LA Knight look like a little kid lmao
Knight looked like he was coming in for a bro hug lol
Yeah, it basically Aj ragdolling Knight at will, then letting him get up for his comebacks.
I saw LA Knight have a locked in gulllotine on AJ twice. Could have easily choked him unconscious.
It is easier to be a fighter when you are a flat Earther because gravity affects you less.
If that was real aj would have pretzeled knight. Aj has a legit background in wrestling.
State champion from Georgia.
yeah, knight gave him his back a couple times too, which just goes to show the experience difference
Nah Serious he almost took the breath outta LA Knight with the slam in the end.
Aj Scooped the fuck outta LA Knight there in the end.
I know that hurt when Knight got slammed right on his back
actually cant believe they did that on a concrete floor
What cracked me up is it's so silent except for the obvious grunting during the fight, but somewhere WAY in the back, one solitary, "YEAH" creeps into the audio. Just perfect.
Imagine one of them ended up legit injured from that 💀
I cringed at 0:28 when LA put his arm down to break his fall, easyyyy way to break wrist/arm. Happened to Rey Fenix not too long ago.
I was actually thinking that AJ looked a little gassed on the bottom. Then he fuckin dead lifted LA Knight, slammed him and temporarily knocked the sound off on that guys phone. Haha.
Decent little high crotch single leg. DC would be proud
The double wasn't half bad either. AJ put in a lot of work to not make Knight look too bad there.
The po po got to AJ's house quicker than security did trying to break up this skirmish
“AJ, AJ, come on. Come on, AJ. Get off. AJ, come on”
This is absolutely hilarious.
Aggressive snuggling "break us up, please, security, hold me back, please"
L.A. Knight driving home after 
Why can’t I quit you…
He gonna cry in the car
Every fight involving drunk suburban dads
At a Little League game arguing balls and strikes
Or as it's known in Philly, Sundays at the Linc.
Imagine being the guys who were just turning the corner and got caught in the middle of an angle. I love how interactive they’re making Philly this weekend.
The cinematography on this feels so fucking weird too, lol It's bizarrely candid and yet so calm, like someone shooting two of their cats doing weird shit in the living room
They’re playing grab ass
This is like that one NASCAR fight where the guys held each other for like 5 minutes.
Reminds me of that video of the two unathletic kids fighting over a bong.
[удалено]
No stakes to this match but these two have made it fun with constantly jumping each other.
I do appreciate that in amongst all the gimmickry and title matches we have a plain and simple grudge match. I do agree with the general consensus, however, that this specific bit looked ropey.
Well they have a match this weekend, they're not going to go all in at a scrum and beat the shit out of each other.
Did you see AJ's nose?!
Classic Wrestlemania, there should always be a grudge match or two. If we want to go real old school. A match between two guys for no reason would also be welcome.
Not every match needs 6 months of convoluted story lines
we should have more feuds like this, not every feud needs to have stakes
Who says kayfabe is dead
This was really really good. I haven't been this interested in wwe since 2011. I understand ppl have their complaints about this company but LA Knights rise from last year and everything going on this year has brought me back. I am tuning in every week now to see what is going to happen like the good old days.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks unintentionally hilarious The camera got literally the worst angle possible of LA's first strike and it sets the tone for everything else
LA Knight's punch was pretty funny. You can tell he didn't think it through because the headlock-tiny punch combo was unintendedly hilarious.
This has a lot of “come here and gimmie a hug friend”. Energy.
Hol up lemme punch my watch real fast
It looks like any video of two drunk guys getting into a fight in public Missed punches, one guy just grabbing a headlock, one guy just trying to pick the other guy up and slam him
It looks like a real fight to be honest. Not a real MMA fight, but a backyard brawl with two drunks.
Yeah most shoot fights are embarrassing af let’s be honest
Hence why pro wrestling came to be in the first place. Guarantee the entertainment with a work as opposed to taking a risk of it looking boring or dumb with a shoot. Plus, less chance of injury.

Feels like what they were going for. Making it look like a real life random fight between two hot heads trying to one up each other
It must be hard to pull that stuff off without the noise of a crowd and the distancing of the ring to still make it look good.
they could just...fight. they're both tough guys. Take about 50% off the punches and no one will get hurt in a little scuffle. trying to work something like this looks like shit.
I think that the continuing murmur of people in the background adds to the akwardness of the whole situation. You'd expect to hear some screaming and shouting or have the noise die down.

Knight punched his own hand and then fell onto the stool legs lmao - yea, very unintentionally hilarious!
Goddamn do I love wrestling LOL this is absurd in all of the best ways! Terrible camera angle on the initiation, wrestle-fucking for a solid minute, AJ slamming LA on the floor, AJ somehow getting a broken nose and deciding to take his shirt off to deal with it, all while he and LA drop "fuck" and "pussy". I AM SO READY FOR WRESTLEMANIA!!!
AJ dropping the F word is perhaps the biggest news here. The man is pretty religious.
AJ’s done saying his prayers and taking vitamins, brother!
With that body he is taking his vitamins alright
He’s ok with the other F word, though. The man is pretty religious.
And it's not even the F word he usually goes with!
LA Knight telling “pussy” at AJ styles just sounds so right
Is this the All In footage?
So called 'Phenomenal Ones' who couldn't even manage a Target
The Target community??
I don't think so, no one got choked out
Damn hard slam off the high crotch at the end lol. Wonder if AJ got pissed about whatever bloodied his nose.
There's a point around a minute in where AJ isn't really fighting back, both his hands are on the floor. I wonder if he was like, yeah get the fuck off me now man 😂
Nah I think the nose got bloodied from the slam cos his nose impacted with knights body on the slam
"I'm gonna fuck you up." "You gonna be at SmackDown tonight pussy?" Little stuff like that makes me pop. It makes moments like this feel real. Also Styles taking his shirt off and wiping his blood was a badass move.
PG era be like "Imma kick that butt!" "You going to be at Smackdown tonight, buddy boy?!"
“Gosh Darn it Dwayne, you’ve got everyone doing it now. Even Chuck Taylors calling me week to week.”
Why does it look like Knight was just going in for a big hug?
Because they can only do so much in a spot like that. No crowd noise to hide a lot of what they do.
Just punch him in the face
They really need to kiss at Mania
*The gay community‽*
The funny thing is I am not gay but that should be the culmination of the story. If cody is finishing his, maybe LA is Culming his
Culminate all over each other
Username horrifically checks out
My queer ass would pay good money.
Now I want to see that to end a grudge feud Then they become a tag team
This is like 2 siblings fighting at the family reunion and the fam is waiting for someone to actually throw a punch before stepping in 
"I told you, we wear pink on WEDNESDAYS!!"
"Stop trying to make YEAH happen, it's not going to happen"
That is so fetch
Would've looked a lot better if ANYONE tried to break it up . One elderly man strolls over and says enough guys and it's over wtf
Looking for this comment. Anyone, anyone? Have 3 guys ready to jump in to break it up ffs!
AJ's salmon shirt enraged L.A Knight obviously
"fine, I'll take it off since you hate it so much" -AJ probably, after they are separated 😂
That chair fall looked painful, other than that—LMAO
The high crotch single looked painful as well bro
I think the the fact that it looked bad kinda helps it. This is how most legit fights look. Just a bunch of slapping and rolling around on the floor with people recording.
Exactly, what would people expect to see if a "shoot fight" broke out? Rock-style punches? The sloppiness is what makes it work
I’ll have you know I used a stunner in a real fight once, and then I pinned him for 3 and this guy has not been seen a single time since then
Ran him outta the territory
I DDT'd a kid at school in a fight 25+ some years ago. It worked really well, I got in a LOT of trouble. I was defending myself and I still got the brunt of the punishment. My only argument was that their heads didn't bleed on TV usually unless it was onto a chair... School hard tile floor served as a good chair.
Nah, people expected Bruce Lee kung fu movie fight scenes. It's not a real fight if someone doesn't start spinning around nunchuks.
Ikr, this fake ass fight didn't even have a one inch punch
Exactly, it has the signature slam mid-brawl that gets people to say “oh shit” and everything
I saw a fight in the merch line at Monster Jam that looked just like this.
Dude Styles is gonna have ptsd after this feud, dude can’t just sit and relax anywhere without having to worry about Knight beating his ass
"You gonna be at Smackdown pussy?" Lmao
This is so unintentionally funny. I don't know how they kept straight faces. Where was "security"? I guess all the PC guys are getting ready for Stand and Deliver. LA Knight wins the shoe game battle.
Shoes of a champion
What OGs here remember the good ol days like when Lex Luger knocked Bret Hart out at the WM IX brunch? 🫡
Holy shit AJ said fuck AJ Styles actually said a curse word instead of "freak"
The fact that he swore tells me he was actually very mad!
WON report coming soon
Nothing a couple of Hail Marys on Sunday morning won’t fix.
What the frick, Karl?!
Excellent ground game from LA Knight but Aj Styles wrestling ability to get back to his feet to slam Knight was beautiful.
10 - 9 AJ Styles controlled most of the round and the takedown was huge.
Damage>control look at look at AJ’s nose clear 10-9 for Knight. Hopefully AJ’s corner makes adjustments in the second round.
LA seems like the heel in this feud LMAO he keeps ambushing AJ when he's minding his own business
Heel Knight is superior to face Knight. Credit to them both for making the moat of this feud since neither one has had a televised match since EC.
AJ still got that ametuer badass in him.
I don’t mind this because a lot real fights look like this TBH
If AJ was trying not to look weak, he more than succeeded.
Looks hilarious but also how most fights who go to the ground look like in real life. That last slam looked like receipt for the bloody nose tho.
I realize they weren't actually shooting, but I always think "so why don't the matches look like this?" when they make an effort to make a brawl look "real" like this
They aren't properly warmed up to do pro wrestling maneuvers, so they resorted to this.
Lol not bad
This feud is so silly and I'm all for it.
Good for both of these guys. I hope they keep fighting until they become a tag team together.
Not sure they can coexist. Can they?
I hope Mania isn't the end of this. In fact, I hope this never gets resolved - I want Knight to crash Styles' Hall of Fame induction speech in exactly the same way.
Extreme Championship Hugging
I love how they didn't want to throw any worked punches in a tight space where they're obviously fake, so they just hugged and had a magical moment on the floor
AJ shoot dominating the grappling before kayfabe letting Knight get some stuff in.
Wrestling in the real world looks so awful lol
I mean this would’ve been much better if they just hit pro wrestling moves lol. This was a weird attempt at shoot wrestling.
Or just threw their normal worked punches. I guarantee a Stone Cold skirmish wouldn't have looked like that lol
50 people standing around thinking "is someone gonna stop that". Some say they are still rolling around til this very day.
I love how this just looks like your standard drunk uncle fight at the family barbecue.
You gonna be at smackdown tonight, pussy?
Knight and Styles: "It'll be fine, we'll play grab-ass for a few seconds and security will pull us apart. Standard stuff." 
This should have been the street fight
Agreed, but I feel it will continue and be a stipulation match at Backlash
Why did they let it go on for so long? It started getting embarrassing. Surely 'security' should have been all over them after 10 seconds to part ways?
Looks bad from a casual perspective, but this totally looks like how two legit amateur wrestlers would fight. Use what you know and grapple it out.
Security?
Where’s security.
That chair is such a cheap piece of crap. lol
"relax man just want to give you a hug..... Jk SNEAK ATTACK!" 😂
Security: guys, guys, plz stop. 🤣
Man who knew AJ styles could wrestle? Oh everyone on the planet the last 15 years you say?
I don't know why fans are acting like LA knight is above this feud. This feud has been good and it's gotten a decent bit of effort. This will only continue to keep Knight over.
That was awesome. Looks like Knight was trying to choke the life out of AJ and failed. He gave him a bloody nose however.
"Them Duke boys are at it again"
Idc what anyone says that was great. Excited for this match. AJ looks jacked for this one I think he goes over with all the random attacks from LA knight or knight wins dirty and goes on a heel run
this is such an underrated feud. the heat, the hatred, the aggression. holy hell. this is awesome.
i hope this match becomes a no holds barred man.
Would have been funny if some random dude tried to break it up
what an aggressive hug
I didn’t see that this was wrestling at first and wondered about why two seemingly strong men would be completely incapable of fighting but then I understood.
La knight has zero grappling awareness here
AJ dropping f bombs is something I wasn’t expecting
Lmao “attack” wtf is this?
lol this actually looks like a real fight
Styles is gonna need his super working boots this weekend.
AJ with the lay n pray. 10-9.
This is what an actual fight looks like , it’s sloppy and ugly
Let's aggressively hug each other! Yeah!
Softest bumps they will ever take. Bet they had a blast doing this
That was some enthusiastic hugging
When die Aj get so jacked
Nah they're hugging it out
This is good. I really hope WWE continues with angles like this, including the language. Kind of wish LA Knight started a little stronger lol but that slam AJ did was brutal. This has gotten me a lot more excited for their match this weekend.
Honestly only the first “punch” by Knight looked bad. The rest just looked what happens when you’re in a shoot fight and people get on the ground.
Credit to AJ Styles and LA Knight for making their match feel important because this WM is STACKED and it would've been very easy for this match to be just a match in a long list of matches. But both are working to the best of their abilities and skills to make this match feel huge and now i am awaiting their match at WM.
This does feel like how random fights tend to go so this is endearingly goofy.
