“Marketing Machine”: Wrestling Veteran Suggests Logan Paul and Dillon Danis “Super Scandalous” Feud Is Classic WWE Storyline

The Logan Paul and Dillion Danis feud has been heating up and reaching heights never before seen in the WWE. However, one WWE veteran suggests that this storyline and feud have been a classic WWE cliche. The veteran claims that Paul is brilliant and a marketing machine. He took an old WWE storyline and gave it a new spin to create hype for his match.

The veteran broke down the entire storyline, how it greatly benefitted the two in social media follows, and all the controversy it brought about. 

WWE veteran breaks down the Paul-Danis feud

Logan Paul is known for everything controversial, and his feud with Dillon Danis is nothing short of it. What started out as a normal boxing match took a massive turn when the ex-UFC fighter began taunting Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal. Bringing Agdal into their feud took it to the next level with what unfolded later.

On the most recent episode of the podcast, My World with Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett and Conrad Thompson spoke about the Paul vs. Danis feud. The topic began with the two discussing how people could not believe that the feud was real. Jarrett said his brother-in-law asked him, “Is this stuff real?” This was the magnitude of the feud that people had to ask a wrestling veteran about if the things coming out of it were real.

As the conversation continued, Jarett said that the content of the feud was “heavy.” This was about what Danis did. At the start of the feud, Danis took to social media to post images of Paul’s fiancee, Agdal. These were not explicit images, just casual images of Agdal with every man she ever took a photo with. However, this was the tip of the iceberg. As Jarrett added, “It was super scandalous that they were revealing.” Many consider this the turning point of the feud as the images got more explicit.

Jarett went on to talk about how this single stunt gained them more publicity than any promotion could ever do. He said that the posts Danis put up had 2 billion impressions on them in August. “My man Logan is a machine, a marketing machine,” he added. This one stunt gained both men a ton of social media coverage and even a lawsuit against Danis.

The lawsuit and parallels to classic WWE storylines

According to what co-host Thompson said, “What he did was have someone hack into her Snapchat for that story.” This blew Jarrett’s mind. However, this move did result in Agdal suing Danis. Agdal obtained a restraining order against Danis and also sued him for $150,000. The entire controversy gained media attention, resulting in both men gaining free publicity.

According to Jarrett, this is a common WWE trope of targeting your opponent’s woman to goad them into a fight. The most iconic example of this was with Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, where multiple stars would taunt Elizabeth to get a reaction out of Savage. The same storyline was used in the Savage vs. Hogan feud. This is a retelling of an iconic storyline where the two involved seem to go a bit too far with it.

What’s your opinion on Jarrett’s statement? Do you think the two wrestlers are just in a classic kayfabe feud?
