Logan Paul faking it with Prime—Is he just another sellout in the influencer world?

Even having a huge fanbase on the internet cannot save Logan Paul from the brutality that the IWC can ensue upon a wrestler. A few days ago, the former United States champion was seen interviewing Dominik Mysterio. Although the two wrestlers have never crossed paths, their kayfabe hatred for Rey Mysterio really helped them bond together.

During the interview, a notable thing happened that may have slipped under your radar. However, the rest of the IWC didn’t let it slide by. It is nearly going to be two weeks since that podcast episode was uploaded and Paul is only now getting called out for a move.

There is a moment during the podcast where Logan Paul’s co-host is talking to Mysterio and Paul himself is patiently listening. He then picks up the bottle of Prime drink standing on the table and goes ahead to drink from it. This may sound like a normal scene, but it wasn’t.

The bottle that Logan Paul picked up was completely empty. Since the brand sheet only covers the sides of the bottle, you can peek underneath to see that there seems to be nothing but air in that bottle. Online fans picked on this and decided to troll the wrestler.

Fans trolled the social media influencer for not even liking his own drink. This isn’t the only time that Prime was under fire. There have been some negative cases lately. But this may prove to be bad publishing.

Fans call out Logan Paul after clip surfaces the internet

What’s your perspective on:

Logan Paul faking it with Prime—Is he just another sellout in the influencer world?

Have an interesting take?

Somebody on Twitter made a bold statement about how the internet celebrity doesn’t even like his own drink. We can’t confirm or deny this statement. But if this is the widespread view among fans, which it seems to be, then the brand image of Prime may be in danger.

Another fan trolled Logan Paul for sipping on air. An alternative reason behind this clip could be that Paul didn’t look at whether there were any drops left in the bottle or not and just wanted to clear it out. However, there wasn’t anything in there so he continued the action to make it seem less embarrassing. Turns out, the plan may have backfired.

We have a viewer who feels like Prime drink isn’t worth drinking even to its co-owner and promoter. Despite marketing it everywhere, Paul doesn’t feel like taking it and has now become a laughingstock among the fans.

One more netizen who thinks the same way as the person before them. This seems to be less of a dig at its nutritional contents but rather about the taste that it gives you after you take a sip. The comment in question is questioning the very same thing.

WWE is not known to assign specific dietitians to wrestlers to maintain their physique and health. On the contrary, each of them tends to bring some unique aspect of their body’s strength and weakness in the squared circle. However, it is very much possible that Logan Paul has a trainer and a dietitian who would have asked him to not drink Prime if fans suspected correctly.
