WWE Superstar and YouTube sensation Logan Paul recently talked about how he's enjoying himself working as a heel.
Paul has garnered rave reviews from industry veterans and fans regarding his in-ring performances since joining WWE. The star was initially in a feud with The Miz before wrestling massive stars such as Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. He was also in action at SummerSlam, where he was clearly the heel in his bout against Ricochet.
The Maverick recently sat down for an interview with Stephen A. Smith on The Stephen A. Smith Show. Paul was asked whether it was better to be a good guy or a bad guy. He answered that it was "fantastic" to be "the bad guy."
“Stephen, I’m not a bad guy,” Paul said. “I’m the bad guy. And it’s f-cking fantastic. I’ll be honest with you, when I’m up there, just being an a-hole, puppeteering the crowd, getting under my opponent’s skin in any little way I can, there’s a part of me that ignites. It’s a little scary, but I love the idea of being able to essentially conduct an entire audience however I want, whenever I want with what I say. I’ve recently leaned into being a heel, and I kind of like it.” [H/T Wrestle Zone]
