Logan Paul 's ascent to fame has been anything but traditional, and his journey into wrestling has followed a similarly unconventional path. Despite displaying a level of skill and adaptability that exceeds what one might typically anticipate, not everyone has embraced him, particularly some veterans from previous eras. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has been vocal in his criticism, stating that Paul doesn't belong to "the boys" and questioning his legitimacy. This criticism prompted a sharp rebuttal from Paul, who responded with a clear and direct counterattack. Now, Booker T has entered the fray, offering his perspective as a close friend of Nash and someone who remains deeply connected to the current WWE landscape.
On his " " podcast, Booker T addressed the ongoing social media clash between Paul and Nash. "That was a shoot," Booker T remarked, referring to the real nature of their online conflict. "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."
