Controversial wrestling personality lauds Logan Paul's WWE run; feels he's great at getting heat from fans
The Maverick was seen confronting Kevin Owens on SmackDown last week. The two men fired shots at each other as things got heated to the point where they came to blows. Finally, Logan took advantage of Owens' injured hand and got the better of him, thus sending a strong message ahead of the Royal Rumble.
Former WWE manager Jim Cornette recently spoke about Logan Paul's work as the current United States Champion.
On a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran observed that Logan understood the business well. He claimed that the social media sensation has been doing a great job of annoying the fans as a heel:
"Again, Logan Paul is a natural at this. He's milking and pausing at the right places. He's better than half the guys that get in the business at talking and being a prick and getting people annoyed at one way or another. Don't you think?" [From 1:20 - 1:38]
