Logam Paul addresses the backlash to PRIME’s center ring sponsorship.
Speaking on IMPAULSIVE, Logan Paul discussed the sponsorship and the negative response from fans. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“Getting that center ring spot is interesting. It’s more positive reviews, but I think the die hard wrestling fans are really upset. It’s never been done, and Vince [Vince McMahon] was always really protective of the mat and not putting any brands on it, but in this new era, which it is, no matter how you cut it. TKO is a publicly traded company, they have to meet a bottom line. That spot was going to be sold.”
Logan Paul: I Don’t Think It’ll Be As Distracting As Y’all Think
Logan Paul went on to note that they saw an opportunity, and it could lead to people hating him even more. He then stated that he did not think the sponsorship would be as distracting as people think, as it would become a standard practice.
“We saw an opportunity, and potentially an opportunity to make people hate me even more, because I am a heel, that’s kind of the angle I took,” Logan Paul said. “Fuck y’all, I’m going to stamp everything about this with me so you’re reminded of just what my aim is; to takeover. If we don’t have this spot forever, who knows, it’ll be somebody else. I promise, if you’re a die-hard WWE fan, you’ll forget about it. It’ll start to be standard practice and I don’t think it’ll be as distracting as y’all think.”
