Logan Paul has made a significant impact on professional wrestling, with his reign as WWE United States Champion being a major highlight. However, his limited appearances and title defences have drawn criticism, especially from WWE Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash.

On his “Kliq This TV” podcast, Nash didn’t hold back in expressing frustration about Logan Paul. He criticized Paul’s unfamiliarity with wrestling terms, recounting a moment where Paul admitted on a podcast that he didn’t know what the term “shoot” meant.

Nash argued that Paul isn’t a true part of the wrestling world, as he doesn’t travel with the wrestlers or spend time learning the nuances of the industry. Nash’s major grievance lies in the fact that celebrities like Paul are paid significantly more than full-time wrestlers for limited schedules.

Upon hearing this screeching rant, The Maverick responded to these comments in a video via his X, addressing Nash’s rant directly. Paul expressed that he wasn’t even familiar with Nash, stating, “Who is Kevin Nash?” He went on to assert that despite not being fully versed in wrestling, he considers himself one of the best in WWE, claiming that if he devoted more time to learning the industry, he could be even more dominant. Paul also dismissed Nash’s criticism as bitterness.

“I got people messaging me. They’re like, ‘Kevin Nash is talking sht about you.’ I said, ‘Damn. Who is Kevin Nash?’ I mean that. I’m unfamiliar with this guy, which I think is his problem. I’m not as versed in the WWE and wrestling as I should be, as my peers are, but then how am I so much better than all of them? I don’t have the answer to all of these questions. I don’t know how I can be the best in WWE, at least one of the best, I’m surely a top fiver, and I don’t even do it full time. Imagine if I did learn a little bit. Imagine if I devoted, became one of the boys [laughs]. Learned the difference between a shoot and a work. Would that make me a champion? Fck me? Fck you. You’re one of the old guys who is bitter that I am better at your job than you ever were. That makes you pathetic. This will be my sport and I will continue to make guys like you eat your words when I devote a little bit of time to it. Fck me? F*ck you.”

Logan Paul has acknowledged his limited schedule but hinted at plans to increase his WWE appearances next year. Whether or not he follows through remains to be seen, but it’s clear that his presence in the wrestling world continues to generate debate.

The ongoing discussion between Nash and Paul highlights the tension between traditional full-time wrestlers and celebrity performers, raising questions about merit, work ethic, and the evolving nature of wrestling entertainment.
