Undertaker thinks Logan Paul made US title relevant again

[Canadian Dragon]

fortunately this board is generally pretty good at not hyperboling wrestlers - that being said - I think it's a bit disingenuous to pretend there was not a good amount of glazing for Logan here too. Though I would not go as far as saying people were saying he was generational or changing the game, but ya, a lot of people here we're def praising the shit out of him and dismissing any criticism with stuff like "he's a great athlete. he's got lot of fans. wwe gets a lot of other fans out of it" and all the other tropes that were used to sidestep his issues. until literally this transphobic stuff.

I honestly wasn't trying to say it about anyone here. Maybe shouldn't have said fed and mud show. I just meant on social media, irl conversations. People say logan paul is so good. And say who cares when I bring up his problems. I can admit I'm a little biased after he did some extremely disrespectful things in my birthplace

 

[Jacob Fatu]

Fig Him and Taker actually puts him over wtf ?! He never wrestled except ppv's wow taker!!

L.A Knight will make it relevant and actually be the Workhorse of SD now and I can't wait to see him in his run.

My contention is that somehow fed fans are mesmerized by flippy shit. That’s just a stupid statement. Like Paul is anything special in that regard. Ricochet been doing it better and we certainly aren’t mesmerized by him. General hyperbole is lame as fuck especially when it doesn’t really apply here at WS at all

I don't disagree with this statement

Paul showed that as a 'celeb' talent he actually gave a shit and held a good account of himself in matches. That said, this was an end result of copious rehearsals often taking months. He reigned for 270 days and I struggle to recall him actually having that many title matches - then the bullshit of not defending to challenge Cody.

In saying that, he's an insufferable little cunt who I wish would just fuck off to an uninhabited island and douse himself in that prime shit. And I hope Iron Mike smashes his lowlife cunt brother into next century.

Taker has definitely missed here. This idiot sandbagged the belt for nearly 3/4s of a year and propped up.....a mega over star who was long overdue a singles title. Brilliant.

I don't think i'll ever understand the burn for him rehearsing his matches.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

it's not a burn, it's just a luxury 99.9% of wrestlers don't have.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yeah I don't see people being derisive to Randy Savage or DDP who were both also notorious for practicing their matches all the time.

Well funny enough, Undertaker had a major problem with one of these guys trying to do that

Those guys didn't wrestle 4 times a year is more the point. they were not rehearsing for months. maybe days or hours

 

[Canadian Dragon]

either way it's more of a "cool your jets on thinking he's THAT good" by providing some context as to why his matches are as good as they are. It still does not remove the fact he is himself still performing. I also think it is completely fine if him rehearsing that much doesn't matter to you personally.

Ended that man’s WWE run before it started

You have to be a certain level of grifter before Taker will let you rehearse a match and be okay with it
