Logan Paul uses the ‘Bad Bunny standard’ as internal motivation.
For the second consecutive year, Logan Paul is going to be a part of WrestleMania. Last year, he was involved with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on the lead-up to their singles match and he took a ‘Stunner’ from Owens at the event.
This year, Logan is set to make his in-ring debut when he teams with The Miz to take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Paul made the media rounds ahead of the match and he expressed to TMZ that he’s ready to compete. He said he’s seen some comparisons to Bad Bunny and it’s been mentioned to him that Bad Bunny trained for a certain length of time to get ready for his match.
Paul feels that he does not have to train at the same rate that Bad Bunny did and being in the ring comes naturally to him.
[I’ve been training with] just The Miz and some random guys who are just willing to give us their bodies to toss around, and it’s interesting because Bad Bunny performed at WrestleMania last year and he was incredible, right? And so, and everyone’s comparing me to Bad Bunny going, ‘Bad Bunny did this. He was training for this long,’ whatever and like, all due respect to Bad Bunny, I don’t think I need to be in there as long to pick it up. It just comes very naturally to me and I wanna raise the bar and he set the bar very high and so it’s a good little push for me.
Logan spoke highly of The Miz and said it’s been great to have the multi-time WWE Champion guide him through some of the basics. Paul feels that the sky is the limit once he learns the ins and outs of the business.
He’s [The Miz] an awesome partner and mentor. Obviously he’s been in this business forever and he’s a superstar himself and so having him by my side to kind of like handhold me through the basics, it’s fantastic but yeah man, I’m learning quick and the more I learn, the quicker I’m learning. It takes me one attempt at a thing before I got it and once I know the ins and outs of the sport, I mean sky’s the limit to be honest.
