As we previously reported here on eWn, Kevin Nash criticized Logan Paul for not being part of the wrestling fraternity and still enjoying a hefty WWE paycheck.
In response, Paul stated that he is unaware of who Nash is.
The exchange of insults intensified on the most recent edition of the “Kliq This” podcast, where Nash censured Paul for his lack of experience and incapacity to call a match in the ring.
However, Nash took a more balanced approach this time, commending Paul for his achievements in the pro wrestling industry thus far.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his thoughts on Logan Paul: “I didn’t say ‘F**k you.’ I said, ‘F**k 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**king 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**king 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.’”
On Paul’s inexperience in wrestling and not knowing who Nash is: “He still has to go down there for two weeks and put in time and bounce around and go through that s*it. 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**k we’re doing. If you can’t just go out there and call it. I pray that he doesn’t get hurt. I hope he has a good run. I’m not going to stop drinking PRIME. I’m a 65-year-old dude. I don’t know what the f**k Vine is. He said he doesn’t know me. Dude, I don’t f**king know you either. Somebody in the company had his net worth at $150 million. To take things into perspective. If I had $150 million, I’m not too sure I’d be super laser-focused. I’d get my s*it in and call it a day. The worst case scenario is they tell you to take a hike. I’m in the Hall of Fame, I had a great run. I was blessed. I’m blessed with 30 years of loyal and great fans. He doesn’t know me and that’s fine.”
On Paul’s video: “I watched it once. I didn’t put that much thought into it. I just thought if somebody I don’t know cuts a promo on me, the last thing I would do is wouldn’t react. He is an employee for WWE, which is team Paul Levesque.”
