Logan Paul continues to impress. At WrestleMania, walked out as the winner of the Triple Threat Match that involved Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
The United States Champion has only a dozen WWE matches under his belt but he’s already being compared to some of the greats that came before him. Coming in as a celebrity, Paul has exceeded many expectations and he’s erased all doubts about how serious he is about professional wrestling.
While speaking on the “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross had nothing but good things to say about Paul and his work ethic. Ross on Logan Paul at WrestleMania: “I think he’s overachieved. I’m pleasantly surprised at how much Logan Paul has developed. I don’t know who behind the scenes is coaching him or working with him but he’s pretty extraordinary.”
Ross added, “For somebody that’s had 12 matches and performing at the level that he has. He’s in great shape, takes amazing bumps, he’s easy to dislike.” Ross continued, “I’m a Logan Paul fan. They got a keeper right there. The fact that he’s not wrestling every week on Raw or SmackDown is probably very very smart. Inadvertedly maybe, I don’t know. It’s very smart that he’s not being overexposed while he’s getting his wrestling boots laced tight and getting used to the format, the protocol and so forth. He’s a hell of a performer. That was a great idea this PRIME thing.”
It’s unclear what is next for Logan Paul but he has more important things to worry about right now because he and Nina Agdal announced that they are expecting their first baby. WWE saves Paul’s matches for big PLE’s so we’re likely to see him again sometime in the summer.
