In a recent candid interview, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey expressed her frustration with the WWE’s unequal treatment of wrestlers. Specifically, she highlighted the stark contrast between her own experience and the preferential treatment given to Logan Paul, the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer.
During her media tour to promote her book “Our Fight,” Rousey didn’t hold back. She revealed that when she was part of the WWE, she wasn’t afforded the luxury of rehearsal time. In contrast, Logan Paul seems to be getting the “red carpet” treatment. Rousey lamented, “He’s great on the mic. He does a great job on the mic. I wish I was allowed the time to rehearse that he gets. It’s not evenly spread. He’s like their next big star. They are rolling out the red carpet.”
Ronda Rousey Slams Logan Paul
Ronda Rousey’s frustration stems from the disparity she observed. Her first match with WWE was meticulously rehearsed over six weeks, involving input from some of the best minds in the business. However, this level of preparation was not consistently applied. She questioned why this successful model wasn’t maintained and why Logan Paul, a relative newcomer, receives such extensive resources and support.
The wrestling community has been divided in response to Rousey’s comments. Some fans sympathize with her, acknowledging that her second WWE run was less successful than her first. Others argue that she lost her drive to improve during her time off. Regardless, Rousey’s critique sheds light on the challenges faced by athletes in the entertainment industry, where fairness and equal opportunities remain elusive.
As WWE continues to evolve, it’s essential to address these disparities and ensure that all performers receive the support they need to thrive in the ring. Logan Paul’s meteoric rise may be impressive, but Ronda Rousey’s call for equal treatment deserves attention and reflection within the wrestling world.
