YouTube Sensation Logan Paul Fires Back at WWE Being Called ‘Fake’

It’s a dream for every wrestling fan who grew up watching WWE that they would want to be a part of WrestleMania once in their life. The YouTube sensation Logan Paul achieved this dream. ‘The Maverick’ Logan Paul recently wrestled at night one of The Most Stupendous WrestleMania 38.

The Maverick teamed up with The Miz to battle against The Mysterios (Rey & Dominik Mysterio) at the Grandest Stage of them All.

Even though Logan could not have a proper WrestleMania moment last year by taking a “Stunner” from Kevin Owens, he achieved his Mania moment this year. Now, finally, the YouTube sensation busted open the idea of WWE being fake or scripted.

Logan Paul shuts up WWE critics!

Logan Paul and The Miz defeated The Mysterios at WrestleMania 38. After his WrestleMania match, Logan commentated on his experience in Dallas, Texas. During the latest episode of Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, he shot back at people who call wrestling fake.

Paul said, “That surface is HARD; it is not bouncy, it is not a trampoline, there is no give. It is plywood; it’s wood. And so everyone’s like, ‘Wrestling is fake.’ Shut the f**k up; that s**t hurts. I am sore; the left side of my body kills me right now.”

“Those are real slams, and they hurt. In practice, even [you can’t] do those moves because you’re going to compromise your body ahead of the match,” Logan added.

Even before his WrestleMania 38 match, Logan, during an MMA podcast, had shot down the idea of wrestling being fake.

Paul trained at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando ahead of WrestleMania and learned how to take hits inside the squared circle. So, he understands how professional wrestlers have to go through immense pain in the arena.

The YouTube star did not practice the WWE legend’s move!

The Maverick at the Most Stupendous WrestleMania portrayed an excellent match for the WWE Universe. Logan performed WWE legend Eddie Guerrero’s ‘Three Amigos’ maneuver on The Mysterios. However, he claimed that he never practiced those moves.

Paul continued, “So you can do it on a crash pad as many times as you want, but when I hit those three suplexes in a row (Three Amigos) – Rey had done it earlier in the match, it was a callback to Eddie Guerrero and his whole shimmy, it was a little disrespectful that I did the move he just did.”

“I had never practiced a suplex like that. I threw my legs up; I’m airborne; on the second one, my head snapped back. For sure, I thought, ‘I just got a concussion.’ I’m looking up at the lights of the Dallas Stadium. I’m like, ‘Oh no, whatever, dude, it’s WrestleMania, turn over.’ The adrenaline is crazy,” Logan Paul added.

The YouTube sensation had improvised three amigos at the Biggest Show of the Year. Even though he may have practiced other wrestling moves during his training, he took a hard bump when he frog splashed at WrestleMania this year.

Therefore, Logan Paul turns down the idea of people calling wrestling fake. It is because he battled against The Mysterios, and he suffered an impromptu concussion.
