"Dear god, please no. Please don't do it. He's going to ruin everything." Those were the thoughts going through every wrestling fan's head when they heard Logan Paul would be part of WrestleMania 37. But, oh, how the times have changed.

Logan Paul is an undeniable superstar. He built his legacy as a YouTube creator before crossing into the mainstream as a boxer, entrepreneur, and now, professional wrestler. Still, while he's always been athletic and charismatic, wrestling fans were horrified at the idea of him stepping into the ring, as he was a clear effort to pander to mainstream audiences.

Paul really had to fight tooth and nail to prove himself, as even the slightest kinks in his armour would be torn apart by fans. That's what makes it all the more impressive that he's been able to hold his own in WWE and thrive as a great heel wrestler. 

His in-ring work is rough around the edges but incredibly impressive. He's also excellent at telling stories, and his reign as the United States Champion has been great to watch. Even Logan Paul's biggest haters have accepted that he fits this business like a glove.
