Chris Jericho thinks Logan Paul is good for business.
Ever since making his WWE in-ring debut back in April, Logan Paul has impressed many fans in the world of pro wrestling. Paul is often praised for being very good in the ring despite having limited experience.
In a recent interview with Howie Mandel, Chris Jericho commented on Paul's surprise rise to the top of the wrestling business and noted that it's good for business.
"I think it’s great. I think it’s awesome. Anytime you can get somebody from the outside world coming into wrestling and put a spotlight on it, it’s great. Logan Paul is good for the business because it gets more eyeballs onto the show for people who might not watch wrestling or boxing. It’s smart."
Jericho also responded to the fans and/or wrestlers who might be unhappy about Paul's start to his career.
"If [other wrestlers] aren’t happy with it, they don’t understand business. The most important thing is selling tickets. That’s the most important thing. I don’t care if it’s Logan Paul, Howie Mandel, or the return of Steve Austin or whatever it may be. It’s stuntcasting. If it works, it’s fine with me. There are always going to be people who are going to be angry that Logan Paul is in wrestling but if it works, you can’t worry about the people who are getting angry because they probably don’t understand. They’re probably younger guys. For me, I understand what it’s like to travel between worlds and the animosity you get from that from some people who will never get it. That’s fine, you just deal with that. You can’t worry about people that don’t like you. All I worry about is people that do like me and making new fans."
