Logan Paul describes ‘brilliance’ of former WWE boss Vince McMahon
Logan Paul didn’t shy away from talking about Vince McMahon while appearing on a new episode of WWE’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast.
The podcast episode debuted on Thursday with Stephanie McMahon interviewing Paul about his transition from social media influencer to WWE wrestler. Paul shared that one of the biggest lessons he learned from Vince was that the product and entertaining people should always come first.
“You know what I learned from that, and your dad just in general — it’s all about the show,” Paul said. “It’s all about the product. He built something that he would have died for. Like, actually. Like, it was all about entertaining people. I have so much just respect for that.”
Paul noted that, in their first discussion about Paul joining WWE, he wasn’t sure if Vince fully understood everything he was talking about in regards to social media and going viral. Stephanie recalled that, when WWE was first integrating social media into its product, Vince grasped how important it would be even if he didn’t fully understood the concept itself.
“That’s the brilliance of Vince McMahon,” Paul said. “We’ve seen that over the years. It’s like, you have this ability to adapt, even if you aren’t entirely sure what’s going on. You rely on people who are experts in a craft. And the WWE and Vince trusted me. I was the last person Vince ever signed, which I thought was really cool.”
Vince McMahon resigned from WWE in January 2024 following the lawsuit that was filed against him and the company by former employee Janel Grant. The still-ongoing suit accuses Vince of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking.
On Raw this week, CM Punk referenced Vince but did not mention him by name, calling him a “weird old man” who once made Roman Reigns eat dog food on SmackDown in 2019.
