So, Diamond Dallas Page and Logan Paul got on an elevator.....
Logan Paul has been praised by peers and onlookers as being a natural in the world of wrestling, picking things up in the ring and understanding how to control the crowd. Paul was featured in another showcase match at WWE SummerSlam, taking on Ricochet in the opening contest.
DDP has taken notice of Paul's talents, and speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, he recalled some chance meetings with Paul.
“When I first met him, it was the Mania [in Dallas]. He walked into the elevator and I was like, ‘Hey man! Man, I’ve gotta tell you, I’m blown away by what you’ve done so far but keep up that great work. Wanna get a picture?’, and he’s like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ I go to put the Diamond Cutter sign up and he goes, ‘I can’t do that.’ I go, ‘You can’t do that?’, and he goes, ‘Well, it’s a gang sign.’ It’s really not, I’m not gonna start this, I’m not gonna debate this so I put it down. So later, I talked about it when I was doing the podcast with Jake [Roberts] and it kind of took off on the internet," recalled DDP.
He continued, “So now it’s Mania in LA and I’m on the elevator and who walks in? [laughs] Logan Paul walks in and I go, ‘Hey bro, we gotta stop meeting like this’, and he goes, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, dude I am so sorry. You’re a legend, you’re a legend.’ He was so apologetic. I said, ‘Can we take a picture now [with the Diamond cutter] and I said, ‘Absolutely.’ The bottom line, [he is] just the nicest guy. I watch him in that ring, Triple H had said to me that he has no business being that good. But he is such an amazing athlete and entertainer and like, daredevil. When I saw him and Ricochet at the [Royal Rumble], that deal where they did the flying belly to belly, crossbody in mid-air, there’s so much room for failure that you have to perform at [a high] level to do shit like that. Ricochet is used to doing it all the time, he’s a thoroughbred, so is Logan Paul. He can do it the way he’s doing it and know how to be the heel.”
Paul was victorious over Ricochet at WWE SummerSlam in Detroit. Following the bout, he jumped on a plane, flew to Dallas, and cornered his brother Jake Paul against Nate Diaz.
