Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently lauded Logan Paul for his performance at Crown Jewel.
The Social Media Megastar faced Rey Mysterio in a battle for the ages for the United States Championship. He managed to pick up the win over the veteran with the help of brass knuckles. However, he put on a stellar performance and went toe-to-toe with the masked luchador.
During this week's Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that Logan Paul had the in-ring IQ of a wrestling veteran.
"For a guy with no more experience than he has, you can't tell it. He could hang with the veterans."
