There isn’t a coherent argument against this, just seething about Logan.

Sam is right.
>>
>>20070210
Logan should have been made the face of the company 3 years ago. He's on a whole different level than everyone else except Brock
>>
>>20070210
I don't disagree that he should be champion but do it with different creative than this Vision bullshit
>>
A well written television product would also get more eyes on the promotion but I guess that’s too much to ask
>>
yep more focus on youtubers
just what the doctor ordered
>>
>>20070210
Logan is already the top guy. It just hasn’t yet been officially recognized with a belt and Mania main events. He’s a LOT better a LOT sooner than I think everyone thought he would be.

He’s probably ~5 years ahead of schedule, and now they have to stash him in the midcard because they’ve already made commitments to the 38yo+ guys like Punk, Reigns, Orton, Cody, Brock, Seth, Sami, Drew, Gunther, Balor, Knight, and both Uso’s. (Yes, all those guys are at least 38).

Logan Paul turns 31 in a couple weeks, btw.

Literally the only thing against him is that he didn’t “come up through the program” and doesn’t have a long background in wrestling. This makes old heads feel like he needs to “pay his dues first.”

But he’s the perfect “WWE Superstar” in every other way (notice I didn’t say “wrestler” because whatever that means sure as shit isn’t relevant in 2026).

He’s a 10/10 scripted promo.

He’s a 10/10 improviser on mic.

He’s a 10/10 performer in ring, willing to do all kinds of high risk shit and willing to sell his opponents’ moves. He’s got his own creative finishers and signature moves.

He’s got a 10/10 look. He’s 6’2” and sculpted, and the black and yellow Karate Kid villain gear is dimes.

He’s got a 10/10 gimmick, with the loud, obnoxious, flashy, better-than-you Maverick swagger who succeeds at everything and mocks the concept of being “humble” because that’s exactly what everyone who has hated him all his life has told him he needs to be.

Most importantly, directly BECAUSE he’s an outsider, he’s a 10/10 heel who gets genuine heat because he doesn’t “need” wrestling to be successful.

And obviously, he’s one of the most famous, cross-platform stars in the world who is literally married to a supermodel (perfect for a heel), has multi-millions from a variety of income streams, and even has a famous brother.

He’s literally the dream WWE Superstar for this generation.

what is their obsession with making the world talk? they can chainsaw the head off a puppy if they want the word talking

E-drones shouldnt be allowed to vote

I can see him eventually having a short reign after a MITB cash-in
>>
>>20070427
100% factual post outside of the 10/10 scripted promos. Their idiot writers actually make his promos worse, he's 100x better unscripted on his youtube videos. And that's another thing you forgot to mention, he protects and integrates kayfabe better than anyone else on the roster. He's truly the LoGOAT
>>
>>20070210
The seethe would be outrageous if he won. I want him to be champ just for the seethe.

>>20070427
Just letting you know I didn’t read any of this
>>
>>20070466
A MITB cash-in would be a perfect heely way for him to get his first title.

You’ve sold me. I’m now convinced he’s winning the MITB ladder match briefcase this year, which I believe is in September.

Yea the Jewish Sam Roberts sticking up for his own kind

Inoki's successor as World Champ? yeah I'm thinking neverending dimes.
>>
>>20070210
Whoever started putting “influencers” in the show should be tar and feathered. Fuck these retards
>>
>>20070427
Based opinion. I'm a maverick mark. If he wins I'll be tuning in. Simple as.
>>
People forget he can’t actually wrestle. He had a bad match with AJ STYLES at Wrestlemania. He’s just a spot monkey who can rehearse his matches but has no actual understanding of psychology. He’s just a douche in real life so dumb people think that translates to being a top heel. But sure go ahead and put the belt on him. Sounds like a GREAT idea that can’t possibly turn more viewers away.
>>
>>20070210
I think the NFL should focus on the Broncos winning the Superbowl.
>>
>>20071123
>He had a bad match with AJ STYLES at Wrestlemania.
but it was a good match tho no?
>>
Sam Roberts is literally a professional E-drone. He gets paid to be an E-drone. It’s remarkable.
>>
>>20071123
The AJ match was fine. You dorks are just butthurt because Logan does the Fake Virginia Cowboy's finisher better than he does.
>>
>logan paul
>good matches
maybe if he has a month to rehearse them
>>
>>20070210
He's not committed to WWE
>>
>>20071192
so why are you mad
>>
>>20071338
but he has a match every week now no?
>>
>>20071370
but he's a long term, full time talent now tho no?
>>
I agree. I'd rather watch punk vs logan at mania. would actually be a cool passing of the torch
>>
>>20070210
he seems like a fan that does a bunch of random moves. i dont even consider him a wrestler
>>
>>20071501
He's still not doing PR and commercials, all the side shit a Cody or Punk does. He doesn't even voice himself in the video game
>>
>>20071518
If he were in AEW it would be considered an epic reference
>>
>>20071620
who raped u
>>
>>20071544
but seriously do you consider him an actual wrestler? i dont. its not that he didnt come up through the indies or nxt its that he really was only a fan of wrestling. he was a semi-famous internet celebrity they let wrestle. like bad bunny. people called him a great wrestler too. lol
>>
>>20071667
Good promos, good matches, good look. connects with the crowd. Don't really know what more you'd want
>>
>>20070210
i always think Logan is gonna get bored of the business before WWE actually does anything big with him

In the promotion that's a parody of pro wrestling, Logan Paul manages to be a parody of that parody. Which I guess does make him a perfect candidate for a WWE title. That being said
>Because people will talk
Is what WCW thought when putting the strap on David Arquette and Vince Russo
>Good matches out of it
As if this was ever something WWE has cared about

He shouldn’t be champion for the same reason Brock or Reigns or Rock or Cena shouldn’t be champion.

The World Champion should not be a part timer. simple as that.
That said, he’ll likely never be champ not because of that, but because they can’t tard wrangle him and he’s literally far bigger than not just the company, but the industry and will fuck off and do whatever after getting that feather in his cap.

That said, they might slap the World Heavyweight title on him anyway, I don’t see him holding the WWE belt and honestly hope he never does. it’s better in the long term that he doesn’t hold anything beyond US/IC.
>>
>>20071711
Logan Paul has good promos, good matches, a good look, and connects with the crowd. Which makes him objectively better than all the wrestlers you like. This, I assume, is why you're mad.
>>
>>20071780
>The World Champion should not be a part timer. simple as that.
That's totally clueless thinking. The world champion just needs to be a draw. It doesn't even remotely matter if they're full time or part time as long as they make it rain dimes.
>>
>>20071732
>Logan Paul manages to be a parody of that parody.
this is a good way to almost describe him but i wouldnt call him a parody. that would be the wrestling/wrestlers in aew especially the bucks. logan does take it seriously but he just seems like a random backyard dude. nothing special about him or the moves he does. the dude is just a copycat. everything he does or says is stuff hes seen before nothing original about him whatsoever

I was stunned WWE had the ability to tell him he couldn't box in another farce fight.
The guy simply has too many options, he'll never be champ.

it's amazing the amount of seeth Logan works fat smarks into just because the 5'7 flippy twinks Meltzer told them to obsess over are completely btfo by an actual athlete with a passing interest in wrestling
>>
>>20071836
That draw should show up frequently if they are champion.

If they are simply a spectacle act and can work off of name alone that is completely fine. Taking the world championship with them and hardly showing up as the key figure of the company/show while other people simply hype up their return is ridiculous.

i wrote that post. i wasnt going to explain/write why hes no good again right after explaining it

You aren't the draw if you never show up.
>>
>>20070210
Jew shilling for one of the tribe. But he's not entirely wrong. Logan Paul is the only wrestler most normies could name and they probably don't even know he's a wrestler.
>>
>>20071930
Then let’s just turn wrestling into celebrity deathmatch.
That is basically what you want.
>>
>>20071123
>People forget he can’t actually wrestle.
>He’s just a spot monkey who can rehearse his matches but has no actual understanding of psychology.
exactly. what is he? a high-flyer? a brawler? nope, he just does random spots. young fans today dont understand because hes basically doing what every other wrestler does today. but years ago each wrestler had a different style all their own. dusty was never going to climb the turnbuckle and jump on a bunch of guys outside the ring like jimmy snuka
>>
>>20071913
literally everyone in AEW is better than Logan
>>
>>20070210
He is the most recognizable name and he isn't that bad in the ring so yeah he should get at least the world heavyweight title
>>
>>20071917
>>20071924
You don't need to show up frequently if you're a draw and your merch is flying off the shelves without you even having to do anything. And don't pretend like there's no such thing as over-exposure. Familiarity is the quickest way to breed contempt and if a champion shows up every single week then he'll eventually start to cool off as people get tired of him.
>>
>>20071943
>just turn wrestling into celebrity deathmatch
sounds based as hell
>>
>>20071956
Correction: Logan is better than literally everyone in AEW. But that's a bar so low even Danhausen clears it.
>>
>>20071913
This is one of those things where he worked me so hard that I haven't seen a single match of his or paid to see a single show he's on.
>>
>>20071965
You also DONT NEED TO BE CHAMPION if you are that level and don’t want to show up. You can still remain a spectacle act without pausing the rest of the company for your return.

The problem with these part timers barely showing up is BECAUSE there is no familiarity there is no adaptation and no real growth. They stay the same character they were a decade ago because they never once have to change up their act.
They are a name, they do the thing, they go away, and they do it again.
The one time they diverted from this it resulted in the biggest clusterfuck booking in wrestling history leading to a forced character reversal.

Wrestling doesn’t grow anymore because it doesn’t have to.
It just jingles names in your face.
It’s nepotism, nostalgia and celebrity but any growth is dead.
>>
>>20071985
>I haven't seen a single match of his
I hate to break this to you anon, but I think the hundreds of thousands of people who watch his matches cancel out your one-man boycott
>>
You're a zoomjeet
>>
>>20072012
Ain't boycotting him. I stopped watching WWE years before he filmed that dead guy. WWE isn't for me, and I'm fine with that. I can't escape it though, so I still learn through osmosis
>>
>>20071994
>They stay the same character they were a decade ago
>They are a name, they do the thing, they go away, and they do it again.
And that's why part-timers draw. It just works.
>Wrestling doesn’t grow anymore because it doesn’t have to.
No, wrestling doesn't grow anymore because modern wrestlers fucking suck. That's why the whole business leans on middle aged stars from 10 or 20 years ago. And it desperately needs to grow because wrestling is going to be absolutely fucked once all those old stars retire. But it can't. Because the younger generation is hopeless.

Dave really likes Logan’s matches and promos, he always has
>>
>>20071943
That would be based af though. WrestleMania was originally made to be a big celebrity event. And Logan getting the belt does more to bring people to wrestling than one more title reign for Cody, Roman, Randy or god forbid fat shit Gunther.
>>
>>20072102
You seem upset
>>
>>20070210
They are worried if he wins the title he'll want to leave soon after having accomplished all he needed in the fed.
