The Undertaker, a WWE Hall of Famer and beloved figure, recently commended Logan Paul for his recent accomplishments. He believes that Paul’s unique style in the ring has contributed to his success.
Despite the retirement of the athlete behind the gimmicky persona, Mark Calaway, WrestleMania 40 proved that The Undertaker’s legendary status in the world of WWE remains unmatched. For over three decades, the sound of a gong has continued to send shivers down spines, as the character can still make surprise appearances.
Therefore, when The Undertaker speaks on the current state of the wrestling industry, both fans and current superstars listen closely. In a recent discussion about the top up-and-coming wrestlers, he specifically mentioned Logan Paul, a social media influencer who has now become the US Champion. However, his reasoning may surprise you.
Despite recognizing his “athleticism” and quick ability to learn in-ring quirks, The Undertaker’s true admiration for Paul lies in the fact that he is not a polished, professional sports entertainer.
Despite originating from the independent circuit, WWE has established its NXT and Performance Center in Orlando with the purpose of scouting athletes from various backgrounds and teaching them the fundamentals of professional wrestling. This results in a group of performers who have received identical training. The Undertaker approves of Paul’s decision to diverge from this traditional approach.
During his Six Feet Under podcast, he explained that most people in the industry follow a similar formula, as that is how they are all taught. However, he finds it refreshing that this outsider has entered the business with such a large following and unique background, making him a bit of an oddity.

It is uncertain if Taker has personally offered any significant guidance to the relatively new WWE member, but he did have a brief conversation with Paul following his WrestleMania 40 match, commending his impressive finishing move.
“Undertaker recalled the match where he witnessed the impressive frog splash move. He had a conversation with the performer beforehand, expressing his confidence that the move would result in a victory. He believed that such a high-flying maneuver could only lead to a successful outcome.”
