Eric Bischoff comments on Logan Paul’s ability inside the ring.
Paul is currently the United States Champion, something he accomplished in just his eighth match inside a WWE ring.
At Crown Jewel, Paul won the title by knocking out Rey Mysterio with a brass knuckles assisted right hand.
Speaking on 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff discussed Logan’s ability, noting that the YouTuber “blows him the f*ck away.”
“Logan Paul blows me the fuck away, pure and simple. I just don’t understand how he’s become as phenomenal as he is, with such a limited amount of experience and time in the industry. It’s not just that he can go in there and athletically perform, which he does exceedingly well. But he’s got psychology. He’s got the timing of a 25-year-old top performer. He knows how to work the crowd. It’s natural for him. He doesn’t have to learn it. It’s already there. I think that, combined with his sense of timing, he doesn’t rush anything, he’s a step and a half ahead of himself, and he takes his time getting there, which makes everything feel so believable. It allows you to get sucked in emotionally and allow you to forget, ‘Oh, I’m watching a professional wrestling match.’ No, you’re watching drama happen right in front of you, and you’re sucked into it. I can’t say about him. It was so good,”
Eric Bischoff
Paul noted in the aftermath of winning the championship that he would now have to show up more often with his title win.
