Wrestling veteran and former manager Kenny Bolin recently spoke about Logan Paul. The 29-year-old star lost the United States Championship to LA Knight at the SummerSlam Premium Live Event.
Logan put on a show during his encounter with Knight. Both stars went move-for-move during the bout. The latter even got physical with Paul's entourage during the match. Rap sensation Machine Gun Kelly handed brass knuckles to the champ, and he blasted his opponent with it. Just as The Maverick went to the top rope, LA Knight caught him with the BFT for the win.
During a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling this week, Kenny Bolin detailed that he was surprised with the title change. He felt WWE was firmly behind Logan, given his popularity outside the wrestling business. The veteran acknowledged that The Maverick was amazing in the ring despite his personal dislike for Paul.
"That was one of the finishes that surprised me. I didn't see it happening yet because Logan Paul seems to work whenever the f*ck he wants. They love that he's a YouTube sensation. I don't like anything about Logan Paul, but I'll tell you what I like. The motherf*cker is good. He is good. Personally, I don't like him. Politically, we don't line up within an inch of each other. I don't like him. I don't like how he got his YouTube fame. There's a sh*t load I don't like about him. But it makes me mad he's so f*cking good. Because he is good at what he does."
