2022-12-12 11:50:36 +0000 UTC@Dan Morrow I...personally don't agree about charisma. Ever since the Suicide Forest incident he pulled, I've been disgusted by him and how he acts with a burning passion, especially since he never faced any actual consequences for his actions. In fact, it was everyone else on YouTube that did, cause monetization got more strict for people who aren't YouTube's Golden Boys and YouTubers that don't even have 1000 subs got monetization completely revoked. YouTube said it was to help prevent it from happening again, but if that's the case then why not deplatform Logan completely, or, at the very least, till he owns up properly for his actions? As someone who wants to make it on YouTube to help become an advocate for suicide prevention, it makes me sick to my goddamn stomach that he got off scot-free and was even rewarded with a WWE contract(yes, really).

2022-12-12 02:42:44 +0000 UTCI personally don't think of Logan Paul as an actual wrestler either. He's a celebrity guest star. Athletic? Charismatic? Absolutely. But let's be real here. He's about as much a professional wrestler as any celebrity brought in to do some rehearsed moves. He did great , but unless he's getting legit trained and making this his profession, it's very hard to include him.

2022-12-08 02:26:09 +0000 UTCHook's biggest match was Lee Moriarty?
2022-12-08 00:34:38 +0000 UTC(Ultimately I went with Bronn in terms of his growth and upside)

2022-12-08 00:16:39 +0000 UTCThis was a really really tough one. Toughest rookie ballot I can recall in a long time.

2022-12-08 00:16:08 +0000 UTCThey definitely don’t watch. Consider the circumstances HOOK has been put in during his FIRST year in-ring. Asked to make a comedy tag team work without ruining his character, asked to help carry a celebrity through a stadium match, work live matches against opponents of different styles and sizes. Logan Paul was asked to rehearse spots for 3 weeks beforehand. He would not be able to have a match against someone like Moriarty and call it in the ring.

2022-12-07 19:40:19 +0000 UTCThe people confused over HOOK winning apparently never watch his stuff, nor have been any of the people that were anticipating his big debut since his first appearance on AEW TV back when Cody was still there. The people wondering why Logan isn't winning fail to understand this is Logan Paul we're talking about, as well as him only having 3 matches.
