Kevin Nash Hits Back At Logan Paul After Star Claimed He’s A “Top Five Guy”
The jabs have continued between Kevin Nash and Logan Paul continue.
During a recent interview with Logan Paul, Hulk Hogan couldn’t believe the WWE star wasn’t aware of wrestling terms such as “shoot.”
In the days after the comments emerged online, Kevin Nash called out the former United States Champion, stating that he isn’t “one of the boys.”
After hearing the comments from Nash, Logan Paul took aim at the WWE legend, claiming he didn’t know who he was, adding that he’s one of the best wrestlers in WWE today.
“I said damn, who is Kevin Nash? And I mean that. I’m unfamiliar with this guy, which I think that’s his problem, I’m not as versed in the WWE and wrestling as maybe I should be, as my peers are.
But then how am I so much better than all of them? I don’t have the answers to these questions. It is a question. I don’t know how I could be the best in the WWE or at least one of the best, like I’m assuredly a top fiver and I don’t even do it full-time.”
Paul ended the video with a resounding “f*ck you” to the WWE Hall of Famer.
Kevin Nash Dismisses Logan Paul Claims
In response on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash walked back his original comments slightly by praising Paul for his match against Roman Reigns in 2023. Nash added that he spoke to someone who’s shared the ring with Paul and while they praised his athletic ability, they noted he struggled to remember what to do during matches.
“I didn’t say ‘F*ck you.’ I said, ‘F*ck you from the boys.’ I guess I’m one of the boys. I guess, technically. I don’t have a dog in the race. I love the fact that the boys are making that kind of money. I just took it in character when we talked about it and did what we do: you embellish a little bit. ‘We’ll get a sound byte out of this.’
This comes out and I look at it, and to tell you the truth, I really don’t know anything about him. I remember the first time I heard his name. Not going to f*cking go there. He has more than paid his dues on that. He has apologized. That would be a bitter old man that kicks somebody in the balls when they’re taking a shower and they have their eyes closed.
The first time I really noticed him was against Roman, the Saudi match. He was on the top rope and cut a promo with his own phone in his hand and he filmed a dive. I thought, ‘Wow.’
There were different times after that where I would watch him and people would pop and he would film the people and he put it on his social media. That’s taking this whole thing to a different level. Nobody laid that out for that f*cking kid. I think his athleticism is amazing.
When I go some place and somebody is getting that kind of push and money, I ask some questions. I’m still one of the boys.
I asked a person that has been in the ring with him, ‘How is he?’ He says, ‘He’s amazing as far as what he can do physically. He just doesn’t remember anything.’ I don’t know how much truth there is to this. For the match in Puerto Rico. They brought a ring down and trainers. They go through his matches. He said, ‘Maybe he should get more in depth of knowing the history,’
With regard to Paul saying he was one of the top five in WWE, Nash said you can’t be top five if you’re unable to call a match in the ring.
“He still has to go down there for two weeks and put in time and bounce around and go through that sh*t.
It’s just, you’re not a top five guy if you can’t….when I was 42 years old, if you can’t go out there, and I’m sitting in Hulk’s dressing room and drinking beer, and we have 12 minutes and they give us the finish, and your music plays and mine plays, and I go to the ring…you’re not one of the top five guys if you don’t know what the f*ck we’re doing. If you can’t just go out there and call it,”
Logan Paul hasn’t wrestled since losing the United States Title to LA Knight at SummerSlam.
Since making his debut at WrestleMania 38 in April 2022, Paul has wrestled just 15 times, and only two of those matches have been on television as opposed to Premium Live Events. The star hasn’t wrestled at any house shows.
