Ugh I fkn hate this guys.. however he has a large non-wrestling fan base, if they tune in to watch his crapty product, they'll surely tune in to wrestlemania. Actual fans will tune in to see him gey his ass kicked. Boo him as much as you like, if 20% of his followers decide they wanna see him at mania, that's an uptake, wrestling fans have already bought in, it's the biggest show of the year. Just gotta round up the people that don't know they're wrestling fans.

Celebrities at WrestleMania? SURE, but they never were in the ring. SURE, Mr T., Jimbo Covert, Bill Fralic, Russ Francis, Ernie Holmes, Harvey Martin, William Perry, Lawrence Taylor, Mike Tyson, Snooki and Maria Menounos were all in the ring, but why are they having celebrities in the ring NOW?
Hate when I have to sound like to Next Man's KNOWING VINCE or defend WWE. But it's not hard to understand WrestleMania is a big event, where they want all eyes on. Do I like Logan Paul? No, but he's popular.

Logan Paul is honestly a young, athletic guy who seems to grasp what he's doing...oddly enough, maybe he'll impress us? I swear that Bad Bunny changed me whole perception on celebrities on WWE programming. If Logan Paul wants to go out there and have a decent match, I think he could pull it off. Personally I am not a fan of his and kind just about everything he does extremely annoying. But he took one hell of a bump on that KO stunner at WM37.

This is all true, as long as he puts on a decent performance then itโs all good. The more publicity for WWE , the better.

Unfortunately they see dollar signs with him, I guess because of the YouTube notoriety and past big fights. It's silly. I did like Miz's Twitter hint that it might've been (but then wasn't) Cody Rhodes.

Because heโs one of the biggest stars on the planet, heโs experienced at athletic fighting exhibitions, they already have a working relationship with him, and he was willing to do it for the money they offered. I wonโt be surprised to see Logan, Bad Bunny, Tyson Fury etc in WWE for the next few years. Itโs a cool thing when these guys actually got a passion for wrestling.

Because they are desperate for attention. Itโs pathetic.

I dont agree with the "Celebrities have always been part of Mania" argument because we're putting celebrities IN the ring. Outside of Mr. T & LT, celebrities werent workers until the last few years. Nobody wanted to see Regis, Burt Reynolds or Donald Trump in matches. Ive got no problems with bringing in celebrities to be hosts, entertainment (piss breaks), refs, time keepers, announcers etc....But unless they're dead ass serious about learning to work a match where it doesnt come off like a sham, keep em out of the ring. Speak for yourself

It's worth repeating from the Raw thread but his Skull Crushing Finale on Dom looked more legit than any of the ones Miz has ever done.
Celebrities and Mania go hand in hand. I dont mind it.

Preach it. Celebs in the ring is my least favorite part of any wrestling show. It's wonderful that they're fans and they help raise the profile of the company, but the big events should be reserved for the people for whom wrestling is their lives. It breaks the illusion and feels a little insulting for a Joe Schmo to be sold to us as equal to the superstars that WWE sells to us to the rest of the year. There are a couple of exceptions, but celebs belong on the outside of the ring, not in it.

Well Bad Bunny has had a better Wrestlemania match than Nakamura so I guess stay mad?

Logan Paul went the distance with Floyd Mayweather, who is not only one of the greatest boxers ever, but also has a WrestleMania victory over the only superstar to ever hold the WWE, WCW and ECW world titles.

If anything thinks Logan Paul went the distance with Floyd Mayweather Rocky Balboa style I've got a few Nigerian princes to introduce them to. Or Saudi princes, that might be more appropriate.

Because he has to pay for those fake Pokemon cards he bought and WWE will give him money.

Ironic how people call Vince out of touch only to then criticise this decision with the obvious benefits the kid brings.

I still have no idea who the Logan Paul is. There is zero percent chance that's true.
