Logan Paul: How far can YouTuber go as a WWE wrestler?
By Asad AwaisNewsbeat reporter
When Logan Paul signed with WWE In July Last Year , some fans thought it would be a short-term gimmick designed to generate publicity.
But Fast Forward Nine Months and the YouTuber has signed a new multi-year deal with The Company .
He announced The News with an unusually understated post saying simply " contract renewed".
But there's been nothing understated about the Social Media star's performances in The Ring .
Logan's impressed WWE fans with his dramatic high-flying moves and some have said he's The Best ever celebrity-turned-wrestler.
The Man himself: " I feel incredibly blessed to have found something that I'm good at, at 28 years old.
" The fact that The Organization believes I'm good enough to continue hopefully building this WWE legacy is mind-blowing. "
'He can fly'But has Logan been blessed with good storylines and talented opponents, or does he really have what it takes to make it in sports entertainment?
Zak Zodiac - who's a professional wrestler and Coach - says Logan is " naturally gifted" in The Ring .
" There's a lot of celebrities that come into Professional Wrestling that won't put The Graft in, " he tells Newsbeat.
" But Logan Paul is certainly not that person.
" The Last few shows when he's jumping on to The Announcement tables, that's a big risk and This Man is putting his body on The Line . "
Zak, whose story is told in the 2019 wrestling film Fighting With My Family that also starred Dwayne Johnson , says Logan has mastered the basic skills.
" Whenever I'm training anyone, we spend a lot of time on The Foundations , " he says.
" The footprint of Professional Wrestling , which is things like your bumps, your footwork, your ring awareness and your ring skill, these are all the things that make you an all-round professional wrestler.
" If you look at some of The World 's greats like Shawn Michaels , Eddie Guerrero and people like that, their basics are what make them stand out.
" Logan Paul has shown that he's got his credentials down. Yes, he can fly and he can win The Crowd , but he's also got his basics right and that's exciting. "
Zak also thinks getting a Social Media star like Logan in has brought fresh eyes on WWE.
" The sky's The Limit for Logan Paul in Professional Wrestling , " he says.
" He's got every chance to Go On and submit his name as a professional wrestler, maybe even win championships.
" I would like to see him get a permanent contract with WWE. "
