On a recent edition of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” WWE Superstar Logan Paul weighed in on the comparisons between professional wrestling and boxing.
Paul explained how his time in combat sports has made him realize that wrestling is more complex than boxing which has a simpler context, highlighting the vastly higher number of moving pieces in any WWE event.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the complexity of professional wrestling: “With wrestling, when I first started I couldn’t believe how 360 degrees this business was. There are so many things to account for and the analogy I use is when I’m boxing, I’m worried about one person, the guy across from me right?”
On how working in the industry subverted his expectations: “It’s like Broadway on steroids, like everyone in the WWE is so athletic and so talented in a different way that I never would have expected and I find the mental part of WWE way more taxing than boxing.”
