Hall of Famer DDP believes this former WWE Champion would have thrived in WCW.
Making his wrestling debut in 2022, Logan Paul has established himself as one of the biggest names on the roster. A former United States Champion, The Maverick has also competed in World title matches and shared feuds against several former World Champions.
Recently, speaking on Casino Beats, WWE Hall of Famer DDP heaped praises on Paul. The former World Champion claimed that Paul would have thrived back during his era in WCW.
I’ll tell you, as crazy as that sounds, man, Logan Paul would’ve(killed it in WCW. This kid, he has no right to be that good. Now, he does have an incredible instructor and Shane Hurricane Helms. Because Shane, he can really teach someone how to be in that ring. There’s very few people who have real heat. He has real heat and it’s not turn to channel heat.
It’s where you wanna see him get his ass whooped heat, and it’s pretty damn amazing and frustrating if you’re someone like you just cut a promo on, Karrion Cross. You know when a kid comes like this and gets pushed to the moon, I’ve been busting my ass for 20 years, so that’s hard to watch. It would be hard for me to watch too, if I was there working at that time. But the son of a bitch delivers man.”
Logan Paul is currently involved in a feud against Jey Uso and will clash against him on the upcoming edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24th, 2025.
Former WWE Champion Heaps Praises On Logan Paul
Last month, during an episode of the WAFFLIN’ podcast, Drew McIntyre opened up on Logan Paul and heaped praises on him.
“Yeah. I mean, it’s hard to, to knock him. He’s come from a different world and made a name for himself, just like yourself, Joe. Had a dream, but sometimes we’ve had people come in who have similar thoughts and they’ve absolutely shat the bed and they couldn’t handle the pressure and they realize, Oh no, playing fighting with my buddies and my teddy bears wasn’t quite going to cut it. with somebody like Logan, he came in and every single match, he’s absolutely smashed it.
Clearly he doesn’t do his freaking research, especially with someone like Drew McIntyre, I’ve been with him for 25 years and we held the company together when everything was shutting down in the pandemic. That’s okay, Logan, I’ll batter you at some point. We get a one-on-one match, I’m going to chop you to freaking pieces. But he gets it. You can see the difference with somebody that gets and doesn’t, and it doesn’t even matter how long you do it for.
Some people just never figure it out. There’s a difference between those who do the moves well and do the matches well. Those that have it, and those that feel different, those that become superstars, and I always say it’s just in their eyes. You can tell just looking at somebody’s eyes. If they’re present, they’re in the moment, they know exactly what they’re doing, especially between the moves. From the beginning, when Logan walks out, he knows exactly who he is.
The pressure doesn’t get to him. He does the moves and stuff he does the he wants to do stunts and stuff. Good for him. That gets like a nice little viral reaction, what he’s looking for. But the stuff in between, when you see him just stand there and posture to the crowd, you can see in his eyes that’s somebody who knows who he is.
He’s in the moment, he’s present to the particular situation, whatever’s happening at that time, whatever his opponent’s giving him, whatever the crowd are giving him. He’s not thinking about the stupid words he had to memorize. He’s actively just going what feels right because he knows exactly who Logan Paul is and that’s what separates wrestlers from the superstars.”
