Logan Paul has no right to be this good at pro wrestling, but he is

He's an impressive young man to be sure

It’s because it’s staged and fake

They all know who's going to win he match before they step out the dressing room and how hey will go about doing it so he fans "OH an AH".

Fake arse shite is about as legit a sport as ESPN airing the National Scripp's Spelling Bee or that silly "Corn Hole" crap.

I think a lot of folks must have commented without watching. I don't really know who that dude is, but unless he's been doing this his whole career, that clip was impressive.

So, he's a good actor?

You couldn't last 5 minutes performing in the ring, or take the bumps. It would be cricketsfrom the crowd watching you try any of the athletic moves they pull off...and ACT at the same time.

He's in the ring doing standing backflips at 6'2". He demonstrated some highly impressive athleticism in that video

I didn’t say he wasn’t athletic or that pro “wrestlers” aren’t talented. Just that it’s staged and fake and therefore should be on the movie-tv board and not the msb

SCREAM "it's real to me damnit" cringe to the highest degree.

Here is what I don't understand about the crowd that hates wrestling...those dudes do some of the most high risk, acrobatic, athletic crap on a daily basis that's highly choreographed.

You could have 30 days to learn, train and execute an entire match and I bet everyone here would still struggle.

Is it a sport? No but I think its athletic. Do I think its the same as Ballet and Theater? Yes and when its done at the highest levels, pretty frickin impressive at times.

I think he was a legit state championship wrestler in high school as well. The clip was impressive

Logan Paul’s career before he started boxing and now wrestling was full of extremely annoying things that suggested he was an obnoxious loudmouth who was not only dumb but also lacked any discernible talent.

So anything the guy does now is going to face criticism from people who hate his previous antics.

The guy is clearly very athletic and talented. The stuff he is doing in the video is more difficult than pretty much anything I’ve seen a celebrity or pro athlete try in the ring, although I suspect some of the athletes would be contractually prohibited from doing that by their teams.

The HBK comment is a bit ironic because Shawn Michaels himself was critical of the number of high spots being done in mid-to-late 90s ECW because it would only lead to escalation between wrestlers, making life more difficult and injuries more frequent for all wrestlers except the true heavyweights.
