Logan Paul is turning into quite the pro wrestler after making an appearance at WrestleMania 38 last weekend. The older Paul brother had a very good performance and many were very impressed with his foray into WWE.
WrestleMania 38 was an excellent event and many are saying it's one of WWE's best events ever. Logan Paul took to his podcast, Impaulsive, to talk about the big weekend he experienced.
“It is electric. When there is someone you love in that ring, and doing those moves, like by the way, I didn’t practice like any of those moves. That surface is hard, it is not bouncy, it is not a trampoline. There is no give. It is plywood. It’s wood. So everyone’s like ‘Wrestling’s fake’. Shut the fuck up, that shit hurts. I am sore. The left side of my body kills me right now. Those are real slams, and they hurt. You can’t, in practice even, do those moves because you’re gonna compromise your body ahead of the match.”
Logan Paul also performed The Three Amigos on Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 38. He quickly found out why it's one of the toughest moves to perform in WWE.
“So you can do it on a crash pad as many times as you want, but when I hit, it’s called the Three Amigos, three suplexes in a row. Rey had done it earlier in the match and it was a callback to Eddie Guerrero and his whole shimmy, so it was a little disrespectful that I did his move that he just did. I had never practiced a suplex like that. I threw both my legs up, I’m fucking airborne. On the second one, bro, my head snapped back. For sure, I go, I just got a concussion. I’m looking up at the lights at the lights at the Dallas stadium. I’m like oh no, whatever dude, it’s WrestleMania.”
Logan Paul finished up by talking about the WWE crowd at WrestleMania 38 and the impact it had on him. The YouTuber doesn't have a pro wrestling fanbase but he believes it's actually a big reason why the company wants him.
“The adrenaline is crazy. The crowd’s going nuts. Something about the energy for a wrestling event and a boxing match is so different. Wrestling’s more fun. I don’t have a WWE fan base. And I think that’s why they like me here. I believe part of my value comes in bridging the gap between mainstream and this WWE world, and I can kind of [bring them together]. And if I do end up getting more involved, I would love to help bridge that gap with creativity. I think there’s a way to make it some sort of mainstream viral cultural phenomenon with WWE. I had so much fun. and also, man, I wanna be humble and I will, but I’m good at this. I’m actually good at it. I realized, my whole life, I’ve been throwing my body off of things, I’m flexible. I do these stunts.”
