New WWE Star: "I'm Not Comfortable On The Mic"
It'll be a while before this WWE newbie is able to "rattle off" great promos.
WWE newbie Logan Paul has admitted he's "not quite there yet" when it comes to grabbing the mic and delivering strong promos in front of a live pro wrestling crowd.
Paul told Ryan Satin, "I'm not comfortable".
The celeb-turned-wrestler, who signed a contract with WWE this past June, discussed how different it is to have "18,000 people heckling" whilst he's trying to remember lines and deliver the story Triple H wants. That, by his own admission, isn't very easy - it'll be a while before he's able to "rattle off" great promos then.
LP appeared on this week's episode of SmackDown to hype his upcoming Undisputed WWE Universal Title bout vs. Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel. His speech was rather flat and didn't really engage the fans in Ohio, but everyone does deserve time to find their feet on the mic.
Logan also hasn't been helped by the fact that Reigns has become such a treasured part of WWE's product. Fans are likely to cheer for him over some YouTuber who's perceived to be playing pro wrestler for a few years.
During the interview, Paul said he finds the physicality part of wrestling "easy" by comparison.
