Logan Paul just passed a fantastic weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, picking up a staggering win against legendary Rey Mysterio. With this, The Maverick elevated to his first-ever title run in WWE as the new United States Champion. And the electric in-ring momentum of the social media sensation dazzled none other than the former WCW legend, Eric Bischoff.
The 68-year-old Hall of Famer has already been a Logan Paul fan who thinks he deserves more credit for what values he brings to the division.

Capitalizing on the note, Bischoff weighed in on Paul’s stellar Crown Jewel victory.
‘‘Logan Paul blows me the f**k away, pure and simple. I just don’t understand how he’s become as phenomenal as he is, with such a limited amount of experience and time in the industry.”, Bischoff noted on the latest episode of the 83 Weeks podcast.
Explaining what’s so special in the 26-year-old star, he added, ”He knows how to work the crowd. It’s natural for him. He doesn’t have to learn it. It’s already there. I think that, combined with his sense of timing, he doesn’t rush anything, he’s a step and a half ahead of himself, and he takes his time getting there, which makes everything feel so believable”

Bischoff can be a tough nut critique to any of the regular big WWE acts, but he is always a softie when it comes to wrestlers like Bad Bunny, and Logan Paul who does not utterly belong to the hardcore industry. Of course, he has a theory behind heaping support for this newly popularised practice.

The wrestling believes that celebrity fighters like Paul brought a lot of mainstream eyes into the lore and also they added value to their occasional deliveries in the ring sometimes even more than the regular full-time performers. Keeping quality over quantity, Bischoff voted for Paul’s continuation as a special attraction in the division because this is how he shines the brightest.
