For Theo Von, the inauguration ceremony of President Donald Trump was a remarkable occasion. Not only because he received an invitation but also because of the drama that followed. The comedian had a little accident when his chair gave way and he fell back onto the lap of YouTuber Logan Paul. Paul being his true self, captured the incident on video and shared it on social media with the caption, “MAKE CHAIRS GREAT AGAIN.”

While Von lightened the moment during the event by jokingly blaming “Kamala’s chairs,” referencing former Vice President Kamala Harris, on his social media, he addressed the subject once again. Von implied that the Paul brothers had tampered with the chair and that it wasn’t an accident. Now, Logan Paul has come up with his side of the story on his social media where he claims that he had nothing to do with the whole incident, and that it was indeed Von who sat on a broken chair.

He said. “Theo Von knowingly sat on a broken, busted a** chair before the inauguration even started, and we even pointed it out to him. Danica Patrick saw it, Kyle Foregeard from Nelk saw it, my mum saw it, everyone saw it. Jake and I filmed the whole inauguration. I just trimmed that little clip and posted it cause I thought it was funny.” He further added that since he is a WWE superstar, if he wanted to hurt Von, he would’ve used a table or a steel chair. Although the fight won’t be for free.

But how true is this narrative? According to MMA fighter Bobby King Green, Logan Paul might be lying through his teeth. Taking to the comments of the video, the UFC lightweight simply shared his reaction in one word by writing, ‘Cap.’ For the ones unaware of the slang, the word ‘cap’ in slang terms means that someone is lying. So, according to the 38-year-old, it was the Paul brothers who tampered with the chairs.

It would be interesting to see how Von reacts to the whole explanation. But from Logan Paul’s words in the video of Von falling, it seems like he must’ve known about the chair and did not warn the comedian about it. In the video, he says, “Oh, it happened; it happened just like I said it would! We got a seat here, and I even have it on video” as Theo Von loses his balance. However, Logan Paul didn’t just make news with Theo Von at the event.

Conor McGregor & Paul Brothers unite at the inauguration

Is Theo Von's chair incident a genuine mishap, or are the Paul brothers up to their old tricks?

Have an interesting take?

Thousands of fans and a wide range of political leaders and dignitaries attended Donald Trump’s inauguration at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. However, a trio among the guests truly stole the show. So, who were they? Well, none other than Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor as they took center stage. The sight of the trio together captivated fans. After all, even if he hasn’t made a formal announcement, McGregor recently hinted at a potential boxing bout versus Logan Paul in India.

However, putting their egos and potential conflict aside, McGregor and the Paul brothers seemed to be on the same page at the event. It was especially interesting to see the Irishman with Jake Paul, since ‘The Problem Child’ has often insulted McGregor as well as his wife Dee Devlin to stir controversy. Now, with Logan Paul also being linked for a boxing match, fans were left stunned to see the former UFC double champion being so calm around them.

Maybe that’s because the Irishman understands that trash-talking is a part of the fight game. After all, he is one of the best at it. Using such tactics not only throws your opponents off their game but also helps you sell fights. So, the game identifies the game, and maybe that’s why Conor McGregor did not take anything to heart. With months of negative press all around him, ‘The Notorious’ would want to slow things down as well. But what do you think? Will either of the Paul brothers get into a boxing match with Conor McGregor? Let us know in the comments.
