Logan Paul vs. Kevin Nash: Booker T’s Take on WWE Feud

Logan Paul’s rise to fame has been anything but conventional, and the same holds for his journey to becoming a WWE superstar. Despite a promising caliber of performance during his early stages, many a wrestling veteran has not been particularly kind about his rather swift rise through the ranks.

Recently, fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash had it in for Paul stating that “social media sensation is not one of the boys” while questioning his participation in the sport. Not surprisingly, Paul fired back with a rather equal and spirited rejoal and the two continued to exchange words. However, wrestling legend Booker T has weighed in on the situation, offering his perspective and providing a balanced take on the feud.

During the podcast “Hall of Fame” Booker T discussed the internet rivalry between Nash and Paul. What Booker said about the back-and-forth was not merely an exercise in rhetoric. He went on further and said this is maybe because Nash is at a different period in wrestling and wrestlers of his generation achieved respect through several years of experience,

That was a shoot, Booker said of the pair’s social media beef on his “Hall of Fame” podcast. Most of these guys today, they’re not gonna go out on the road and get it the way we did it. … I could see Kevin Nash’s viewpoint. But you gotta be able to understand the viewpoint of the guys that [are] doing it today, not when we did it. That’s just a fact. So I understand where Logan Paul is coming from … Because this generation is not like the generation that’s going to respect a wrestler like Kevin Nash, the way he would have gotten that locker room respect back in the day. It’s totally different now.

How the Feud Started

The rivalry between Nash and Paul started clearly when Hulk Hogan appeared on the “Impulsive” podcast of Logan Paul. In the middle of the interview, Paul failed to answer simple questions involving the wrestling term “shoot,’ causing a lot of up-rising among the wrestling community. Kevin Nash with his co-host Sean Oliver, discussed this on Nash’s “Kliq This” podcast, expressing disbelief that Paul, who held the WWE United States Championship for 279 days, didn’t know such a basic term in wrestling lingo.

A Changing Wrestling Landscape

Logan Paul has quickly ascended into WWE, and while he has athletic ability. However, some wrestlers argue that he is inexperienced and ignorant of wrestling etiquette. At first, he was a YouTuber and also a social media influencer, he then stepped into wrestling and adopted lots of abilities quickly. Booker T also mentioned the following aspects of Logan in his podcast, and he noted that the wrestling industry has changed and one does not have to take the conventional route to achieving fame anymore.

Booker T, a close friend of Kevin Nash, understands how frustrating it can be for veterans like Nash to see someone like Logan Paul enter the wrestling world without going through the same hardships and challenges they faced. However, Booker also knows that it is different from the business today, new personnel like Logan Paul have more of a different value that can attract many audiences in the industry.

Final Thoughts

Finally, the conflict between Kevin Nash and Logan Paul is between wrestling and new generations. It can be expected, that more veterans will share their opinions in the future due to Paul’s further integration, but the fact remains amply proven, Paul’s contribution to the industry.
