The Youtube star was involved in a segment on last year’s WrestleMania. Paul took a stunner from Kevin Owens after the latter defeated Sami Zayn.
This year, however, the controversial internet sensation is set for in-ring action. During an interview with TMZ Sports, Paul spoke about another celebrity who had competed in a decent match last year at WrestleMania, Bad Bunny.
The Puerto Rican rapper had several high-flying moments in his match. Paul, however, claimed that he needed much lesser time compared to Bad Bunny to learn the tricks and trades of pro wrestling.
“Just The Miz and some random guys who are just willing to give us their bodies to toss around,” Logan Paul said. “But, like, and it’s interesting because Bad Bunny performed at WrestleMania last year and he was incredible, right? So everyone’s comparing me to Bad Bunny. ‘Bad Bunny did this. He was training for this long and whatever’. And like, all due respect to Bad Bunny, I don’t think I need to be in there as long to pick it up. It just comes very natural to me and I want to raise the bar and he set the bar very high, and so it’s a good little push for me.”
There’s no doubt that The Miz is one of the better wrestlers in WWE. The Awesome one is a great trainer to have. The Miz was also one of the pros when NXT started.
Paul described how his experience has been working alongside the A-lister. He also mentioned how quickly he has been learning wrestling and how The Miz has been guiding him through the basics.
“He’s an awesome partner and like, mentor,” Paul said. “Like obviously he’s been in this business forever and he’s a superstar himself, and so having him by my side to kind of like, handhold me through the basics is fantastic. But yeah man, I’m learning quick and the more I learn, the quicker I’m learning. Like, t takes me one attempt at a thing before I get it and once I know the ins and outs of the sport, I mean, sky’s the limit, to be honest.”
Paul revealed that Vince McMahon is “like a step-dad” and said he has shared a healthy relationship with the CEO of WWE ever since he came to the company.
Logan Paul’s brother Jake Paul is an American professional boxer. When Logan was asked about the prospect of wrestling alongside his younger brother. He said that it’s a fantastic idea and something he hadn’t thought about before.
“That’s a fantastic idea,” Logan said, talking about teaming with his brother in the WWE. “I’ve never thought about it. That’s a great idea. Oh my God. Yeah, man. I could definitely see that happening. Geez. That would be nutty.”
