Although well-known for the many Hollywood projects he has been a part of, WWE fans know Prinze Jr. for being a wrestling enthusiast. Over the years, he has taken up miscellaneous roles in the WWE, be it ringside or behind the curtain. His recent remarks about Logan Paul find a delicate balance between the wrestler’s in-ring prowess and controversial past.
“It was a good match, man, and I’ve got to give it up to him,” Prinze Jr. acknowledged, balancing praise and candid observation. He addressed the divergence between Paul’s on-screen wrestling contributions and off-screen decisions. “I’m not the biggest fan of all his life choices, but they’re his choices, and they’re not mine,” he stated.
Paul has succeeded in gaining the respect of Prinze Jr. for his performance inside the ring. “His work in WWE in the ring has been really, really good, and his promo work has been okay. Not good, not bad, just in the middle,” Prinze Jr. assessed. Despite the differences in opinion, Prinze Jr. maintained respect for Paul’s contributions, emphasizing his skills in the WWE domain.
Prinze Jr. further talked about whether he thinks Logan Paul can be a good heel in the promotion. “I don’t think he’s as good as a heel when he’s trying to be a heel as he is when he’s just trying to be himself and be a babyface and get over. He leaned into it too much. It feels a little bit forced,” Prinze Jr. remarked, shedding light on Paul’s journey to find his wrestling persona.
