The WWE roster includes some of the greatest wrestlers of all time. One of them is Logan Paul, who has only wrestled twice before his acclaimed WWE Crown Jewel match. Ric Flair, however, thinks the social media sensation is already superior to the majority of professionals in the field.

Logan Paul pushed Roman Reigns to his breaking point by putting on one of the most exciting world title matches of The Tribal Chief’s record-breaking reign. The ‘best three-match wrestler ever’ proved his worth in the ring, and Flair was also impressed by his performance. On the most recent episode of To Be The Man, Ric Flair made a massive claim about Logan Paul.

That’s what I looked at, I mean, you and I like wrestling, period, but damn, Logan Paul put on a hell of a show with Roman, man. I mean, I can’t remember who said it, but he is better than 90% of the guys that work full-time.

Ric Flair clarified that, while the “90%” figure may be exaggerated from his perspective, he still considers The Maverick to be a better worker than many current talents. Despite making his ring debut in a tag team match at WrestleMania 38, Paul truly got his chance to shine when he faced The Miz at WWE SummerSlam 2022. Flair was ‘blown away’ by Paul’s performance against The A-Lister.

But I was blown away by his performance with The Miz too. So, yeah, I think he has done really well. And 90%, obviously, is embellished, but he is better than some of the guys that have been around for a long time.

While another veteran was said to be an unsung hero behind Paul vs. Reigns’ success, Shane ‘The Hurricane’ Helms played an equally important role in preparing Logan for the biggest match of his career. Shane Helms was one of the trainers who worked with Logan Paul prior to his high-profile WWE assignment in Saudi Arabia. Ric Flair acknowledged Helms’ behind-the-scenes contributions, which helped the YouTuber appear natural inside the squared circle.

I did watch the match. The kid can work. I mean, I’ve been told the Hurricane had a lot of time with him. And Shane Helms is a hell of a performer, and I was just blown away by his [Logan] performance.

Perhaps Logan Paul will soon be acknowledged as one of the best wrestlers in the world, given the fact that he is already earning a name for himself in the squared circle. Let’s see what he has in store for us. To get the latest updates, keep an eye on Ringside News.
