Logan Paul's recent comments severely exposed WWE's system, according to wrestling veteran (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Logan Paul and Kevin Nash. The two stars exchange words with each other.
Nash recently accused Logan of admittedly being a part-timer and claimed he would never be one of the boys. The Maverick then clapped back, stating that despite being a part-timer, he was currently in the conversation for the top 5 stars in WWE. He even mentioned that Nash was just a bitter old-timer.
During the latest episode of The Coach & Bro Show, Russo felt Logan Paul was indeed one of the top five stars in the WWE. He questioned the company's system of creating new stars, given that someone with no background like Logan was better than half the roster.
"Well, Coach, when he's on that video saying, 'I'm in the top 5 of the WWE,' he's telling the truth. There's no question about that, bro. He is in the top 5. What does that say for the rest of the WWE? You've got guys down in NXT for years! This freaking guy walks in the ring like he's been there his whole entire life. What does that say about the process in the WWE? Come on, you gotta take a look at that." [From 39:03 onward]
Coachman also chimed in, claiming that Logan Paul strongly influenced the wrestling business currently because of his social media popularity.
"I don't know if you saw this, but ESPN came out with a top 65 most influential people in pro wrestling. Logan Paul was number 5. I saw people going, 'Oh, he's terrible in the ring.' It has nothing to do with that. He's influential," Coach said. "With his 24 million followers and whatever it is, he influences how wrestling is taken today and how superstars approach their careers. That's influence." [From 39:50 onward]
The Maverick last competed at SummerSlam in a losing attempt against LA Knight. It will be interesting to see when the star returns to the WWE.
