Logan Paul recently stated he is not concerned about gaining approval from supporters anytime in the near future.
Since his WWE induction in June 2022, Paul has found his place in the world of professional wrestling.
In November 2023, Paul notched a victory in the WWE United States Championship against Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel. However, he relinquished his title to LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024.
During one of his recent “Impaulsive” podcast episodes, Paul’s WWE heel persona was brought up for discussion.
Maintaining this role in WWE for an extended period is something that Paul expressed keen interest in.
In response, he revealed, “Fantastic, honestly. Initially, I took it personally. There’s this guy Bruce Prichard, a WWE executive who has always been there. A true legend. He’s in every WWE documentary, always providing insights on various topics.
“I recall when we visited Cleveland—I was there for a show—walked out, only to be greeted with jeers. After that, I met Bruce backstage, and he was emotional. It stunned me to think, ‘Do these people understand that I could climb down the ring, single out any one of them, and physically dominate them? This applies to any individual, regardless of their age, gender, or appearance.’ I was irate. Being booed in my own city certainly took a toll on me.”
Paul noted that an offhand remark from Bruce Prichard helped him take on a new approach in dealing with wrestling fans’ animosity and reactions.
Elaborating, he said, “Then, Bruce made a remark about Cleveland. He casually said, ‘Well, it is Cleveland, after all.’ This threw me off—what made this place so special? Needless to say, I wasn’t too pleased. But then, something inside me clicked. I realized the power I held in terms of controlling the crowd, of expertly maneuvering their emotional states. Sometimes, it’s quite challenging—I’m met with an eruption of boos, and in those moments, delivering my promos can be tough. At other times, when I ridicule their beloved Superstars or the city as a whole, I find such acts oddly satisfying. To be honest, I can’t see myself ever desiring to be a babyface. I enjoy where I’m currently positioned. I truly do.”
