Logan Paul Signed A WWE Contract, And People Have Thoughts

Logan Paul has officially put pen to paper and signed a multi-year contract with WWE. Paul is officially a WWE Superstar.

You have people making light of the signing, which, honestly, it's pro wrestling, so how can't you poke a little fun?

I'm clearly not alone in wishing it was Bad Bunny who received a contract.

Hats off to Bad Bunny and any celeb who steps in the ring, because pro wrestling is very physically demanding. I'm sure the pay is incredible, but you know most stars are doing this for fun and love of rasslin':
