Triple H Kicked YouTube Star Out Of WWE WrestleMania
WWE is falling over itself to work with as many social media influencers as possible but one was escorted from the premises after Triple H got involved.
Logan Paul has made the switch from social media star to WWE Superstar almost seamlessly as he continues to impress with his in-ring exploits. Logan Paul attacked a comedian on Raw before being chased off by AJ Styles.
But it seems despite WWE embracing social media and any mainstream attention they can get, it was not always this way.
Triple H Kicked YouTuber Out Of WWE WrestleMania
Speaking on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, YouTuber Joe Weller who many people are familiar with explained how Paul Heyman had invited him to one WrestleMania only for Triple H to unceremoniously kick him out:
I went to a WrestleMania, Paul Heyman was like, ‘I loved your video’, that swimming pool one, he was like ‘Come along, let’s make another one and I’ll get you in at WrestleMania, you can stay in the WWE hotel’.
F**king Triple H kicked me out. He was like, ‘Who’s this f**king YouTuber? Get out of here’. “They were so not open to the YouTube stuff back then. I think he was still wrestling, but it was very much like, ‘Who the f**k’s this YouTuber?’, there was no embracing of it back at that point. But Paul Heyman got it and we made a video, we made Brock Lesnar say, ‘F**k you Joe’ and it was sick.
But I often think, what the social media world is doing right now, imagine if that was five years before, what could have been possible. Because those videos, they f**king banged. I love wrestling man, I’d love to be in your (Logan Paul’s) position. I’m definitely not as popping as you are right now – there’s Speed, Kai Cenat and you in WWE out of the influencer world. Logan Paul vs Joe Weller at WrestleMania, it’s happening. I’ll see you in the ring, I’m cashing in the Money in the Bank.
Triple H will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2025. The Game won’t be going in for kicking the YouTuber out of WrestleMania but it can’t hurt.
