Logan Paul has turned himself into one of the biggest heels in WWE, eliciting boos even in his hometown of Cleveland.
Paul has leaned into the boos more as his career has unfolded, but when he was first getting boos, he didn't take it well.
"It bothered me," he admitted on Impaulsive. "There is a guy named Bruce Prichard. Legend. Went to Cleveland. Walked out and everyone fucking booed me. In my hometown. I went backstage to Bruce and was like, 'Do they understand that I could get out of that ring and pull any single one of them out and beat the fucking shit out of them? Anyone. Any age, gender, form.' It hurt my feelings. Booed in my hometown. He made a comment about Cleveland, 'It is Cleveland. What is this place?' I was upset. Something happened where, a flip was switched and I realized how much power there was in being able to puppeteer and really artfully manipulate the crowd to play on the exact emotion you want them to feel or not. It's a dance, and sometimes they are fucking with me and are booing me out the building so it's harder to get through my promos. Other times, I diss their favorite superstar or city. I found so much pleasure in it. Truthfully, at this point, I can never imagine being a babyface. I have no interest in it. I am in my pocket at the moment. I love it."
Paul was on Monday's WWE Raw, nearly taking out Andrew Schulz before AJ Styles made the save.
