Logan Paul: The Viewer Will Never Truly Understand Just How Difficult This Sport Is
Logan Paul reflects on his match with John Cena.
Cena and Paul faced off in a singles contest at the Clash In Paris event that took place at the end of August. The match was widely praised by fans, with some even saying that it is the best match of Paul’s entire career.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Paul reflected on some of the praise that the match has received.
“People are saying it was his best match ever, people are saying it was the best match of his retirement tour.”
Paul went on to say that the match isn’t his best, but only because he didn’t win. ‘The Maverick’ then took some time to brag about how good Cena is and how he learned a ton from him during the bout.
“I didn’t win, so no. It was really long, I think it was 25 minutes. About halfway through the match, I felt very viscerally two things. One, holy shit, John Cena is so fucking good. He is that good. There will be people who hear that who know wrestling and people who hear that who don’t know wrestling. The people who don’t know wrestling will go, ‘Well, how can he be that good, don’t you know what’s going to happen?’ If you don’t know the business, that’s a fair assessment. If you know the business and you know all the intricacies that go into this craft, the viewer will never truly understand just how difficult this sport is and I’m in there in the ring with literally the greatest of all time. I’m not only working, but admiring and also like learning. It felt like I was kind of at school and as an absorber of knowledge and someone who wants to be the best, I’m trying to just take in as much information and knowledge as I can while I’m in the ring with the greatest of all time in what will be my last match with him on his retirement tour. He’s not coming back, that was my last match with John Cena. I said this in my tweet, John Cena wrestlers better than Pablo Picasso paints. Sorry to all the Picasso stans out there, but he is so good at what he does. Working with him was such a privilege and I leveled up. I climbed a couple rungs of the ladder that night, but also even just my ability to now look back at the work that we made and assess.”
Sgt Slaughter recently had a ton of praise for Logan Paul, saying that he’ll surpass every hero in wrestling. Fans can check out his full comments by clicking here.
