During an interview on the True Geordie podcast, WWF Legend Kurt Angle talked about Logan Paul winning the United States Championship from Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel and what his initial thoughts were about this Social Media Megastar.
Below is what Angle said:
“At first, I was like, ‘Yeah, he’s a YouTuber. He’s just trying to get fame’. But he was producing, winning fights and then he goes to the WWE and shows his athleticism, and it’s like, ‘Whoa, this kid has it. Why did this kid start out with YouTube? Be a pro boxer when he was younger and or a pro wrestler. This kid has the ability to be those all those all the above’.
And watching him, I’m literally impressed by his skills, and I’m really happy for him. He just won the US Title. I think that’s a great accomplishment for only wrestling your 8th match. I will tell you this: I won the Intercontinental Title wrestling my 9th match, so I know the feeling.
He’s on that level with me and Brock Lesnar. I mean he really is. And I think if he continues on and he has more experience because he’s not quite experienced enough yet, I think if he gets more experience, he’s going to be really, really good. And I think he’ll end up being World Champion.”
When asked what advice he’d give to Logan, Kurt said:
“Try not to spread yourself too thin. I know he’s got a bunch of sh*t going on. You know, his Prime drink and wrestling. I don’t know if he’s still fighting or not. He got the YouTube thing. I don’t know if he’s still doing that, but he seems to be all over the place, and that’s really good as long as he has a great management team.
Try to focus on 1 or 2 things and do the best you can at those 1 or 2 things. I think that’s the one thing I would say to Logan: if you love wrestling, focus on it, make it your first love, make it your first priority, and do what you got to do to become World Champion.”
