Drew McIntyre gives Logan Paul his due.
At WrestleMania 38, Logan Paul made his WWE debut and has since become a full time WWE superstar. One man he briefly has crossed paths with is Drew McIntyre, who he has met in multiple multi-man matches, but the pair have yet to face off in singles action.
While speaking on the most recent episode of the WAFFLIN' podcast, Drew McIntyre was asked about Logan Paul, noting that it's hard for him to knock Paul.
"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."
Paul is currently set to face off with AJ Styles in singles action at WrestleMania 41, while McIntyre looks set to battle Damian Priest at the event.
