Ric Flair Praises Logan Paul’s Wrestling Prowess: YouTube Star Outshine 70% of Full-Time WWE Wrestlers!
In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, legendary WWE figure Ric Flair has raised eyebrows by lauding the athletic abilities of Logan Paul, the popular YouTube sensation turned wrestler. Flair, known for his remarkable career and larger-than-life persona, believes that Paul possesses the athleticism and courage to become a genuine superstar in the wrestling world.
According to a report by Fox News
, Flair’s admiration for Paul stems from the YouTuber’s impressive WWE debut in 2021, followed by a multi-event contract signing in 2022. While Flair acknowledges that the modern-day wrestling industry differs significantly from his era, he sees something unique in Paul’s approach to the sport.
Having worked with WWE icon Shawn Michaels to hone his skills, Paul has rapidly made a name for himself within the wrestling community. Despite his relative newness to the ring, Paul’s passion and fearlessness have garnered praise from both wrestlers and fans alike. Flair notes that Paul’s willingness to take risks and execute breathtaking moves, even in the face of injury, sets him apart as a potential superstar. “Oh, if he committed himself to it, yeah. He’s better than — I think I said it — probably 70% of the full-time guys.”
Flair’s endorsement doesn’t come lightly, as he believes that only a handful of current WWE stars can be truly considered great athletes. According to Flair, Brock Lesner, Kurt Angle, and his own daughter, Charlotte Flair, fall into this elite category. However, he is open about the scarcity of such exceptional talent in the current wrestling landscape.
Interestingly, Flair also reveals his admiration for LA Knight, a seasoned wrestler who, in his opinion, possesses incredible mic skills akin to wrestling legends The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Knight’s dynamic persona and storytelling abilities have already captivated the audience, and Flair believes that his journeyman’s spirit might lead him to stardom with the right opportunities and rivalries.
Despite the recognition for other talents, Flair’s personal favorite remains his daughter, Charlotte Flair, whom he proudly declares as the best wrestler, regardless of gender, in the WWE. Her undeniable skill and charisma have cemented her place as a force to be reckoned with in the wrestling industry.
Flair’s own legendary status has now extended into the energy drink business, where he has launched Wooooo! Energy. True to his nature, Flair describes the beverage as an extension of his boundless energy and enthusiasm, featuring a unique mushroom-based recipe for sustained alertness.
The news of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) being asked to investigate the energy drink brand PRIME, founded by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI, has caught the attention of former kickboxing champion and influencer Andrew Tate. Sen. Charles Schumer called for the investigation, citing concerns over the drink’s high levels of caffeine, which have garnered significant popularity among young followers.
In a tweet, Andrew Tate expressed his opinion on the matter with a succinct statement: “Scammers scam.” This suggests that Tate views the situation as a deceptive marketing tactic or a questionable product. However, he did not elaborate further on his stance.
PRIME, endorsed by Logan Paul and KSI, quickly gained immense popularity upon its launch last year, drawing long queues in grocery stores and creating a resale market in schoolyards. The beverage, advertised as zero sugar and vegan, joins the growing trend of energy drinks with elevated caffeine levels. With 200 milligrams of caffeine per 12 ounces, PRIME contains the equivalent of about six cans of Coca-Cola or two Red Bulls.
The high caffeine content led to bans in schools in the United Kingdom and Australia, with pediatricians warning of potential health risks for young children, including heart problems, anxiety, and digestive issues.
While company representatives argue that the product is clearly labeled as “not recommended for children under 18,” Schumer’s concerns lie in the similarity of online marketing between PRIME and its caffeine-free counterpart, PRIME Hydration. This similarity may mislead parents into purchasing the drink, believing it to be a juice for their children, only to discover it contains a significant amount of caffeine.
In his letter to the FDA, Schumer highlighted the need to investigate the claims made in sponsored content on social media, along with examining the ingredients and caffeine content of the PRIME energy drink.
As the investigation unfolds, the public will closely monitor any developments regarding PRIME’s safety and marketing practices. In the midst of this controversy, Andrew Tate’s tweet provides a brief glimpse into his perspective on the situation, suggesting a skeptical view of the brand and its founders.
