Logan Paul has mostly worked as a part timer in WWE. The promotion is working with a lot of part time these days, even their three year long World Champion himself is a part timer. It is doubtful if Paul will ever work as a full time wrestler in WWE.
Seth Rollins Thinks Logan Paul Is A Tourist In WWE
At the Royal Rumble pay per view event, Logan Paul talk to the entire world when he eliminated Rollins from the men’s Royal Rumble match. After the event, Rollins was the half day fever all time about Paul but he decided not to talk about him under any circumstance.
But when Paul deliberately cost Rollins his opportunity to win the Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber pay per view event, Rollins wanted revenge. The duo got a grand showdown at WrestleMania 39 and it was one of the biggest attractions of the night. Logan Paul lost the match at the event
Seth Rollins who is also a former two times WWE United States champion recently spoke to the After The Bell podcast where he talked about his WrestleMania 39 opponent Logan Paul and explained to why he considered him as a tourist in WWE. He said;
“Yes and no. There are obvious advantages to having people from outside of our world come into our world. Logan Paul is not a new phenomenon. We’ve been doing this in WWE for decades and we’re going to continue to do it for a long time after Logan Paul is gone.
“There’s just a lot to be said about having these types of performers on our show and whatever they may be doing. You look at the Rock N Wrestling Connection, all the way back to Cyndi Lauper, the first WrestleMania with Muhammad Ali and Liberace, you had it all. It makes sense. It’s a different beast, I feel, when you start getting these people in the ring on a semi-regular basis.
“You look at Lawrence Taylor against Bam Bam Bigelow, perfect way to utilize these celebrities. Lawrence Taylor was an athlete beforehand, one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, and also, a guy who wasn’t calling himself a wrestler. He didn’t go around getting a big head thinking, ‘I can do this, I’m so good at this, this is a cake walk for me.’
“I don’t want people going around thinking that’s what wrestling is, that it’s paint by numbers, somebody programs you and you’re going to be just fine. Now you’re the biggest star, you’re the best thing that has ever happened and that’s what the business has become. If every single one of us just followed that road map, there wouldn’t be a wrestling business because nobody would be able to do the damn thing.”
