When we look at Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock’s professional career, it is the most electrifying one. However, Dwayne Johnson went through many hardships to reach the “electrifying” status. After Johnson’s NFL dream, he worked immensely hard to become ‘The Great One’ in WWE.

The Rock was a massive crowd puller in Vince McMahon’s company. There’s a reason why Johnson is also referred to as the “People’s Champ” by the wrestling fans. The Rock had the charisma to attract people through his dynamic personality and his impressive wrestling maneuvers.

Speaking of The Rock’s superstardom, even YouTube sensation Logan Paul has the same skills. Even though the WWE fans did not receive Logan Paul’s appearance in-ring well, outside the squared circle, he is no less than The Rock!

It would be a brilliant move for Logan Paul to be in WWE, just like Dwayne Johnson!

As of now, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has booked his ticket to Hollywood and is smashing box office records. However, many believe that Johnson’s success in the film industry was due to his loyal fan following.

Recently, YouTube star Logan Paul was invited to converse with Brian Geordie Davis on the True Geordie podcast. During the conversation, the host Geordie suggested ‘The Maverick’ Logan Paul to be like The Rock and carry the fans on his back.

Geordie said, “I think that’s a good move for you because the thing about wrestling is that it’s not like boxing in the sense you can do it regularly and get that money. But also, you are going to tap into an audience that will only make you ten times bigger.”

Brian Davis noted that, unlike boxing, pro wrestling has a massive fan base. So, ‘The Maverick’ can use the support of the WWE fans to his advantage to become a megastar like Dwayne Johnson.

How did The Rock’s career hit off in Vince McMahon’s company?

Since Logan Paul signed with Vince McMahon’s company, fans have had a hard time accepting him as a WWE superstar. However, ‘The Maverick’ appeared at two back-to-back WrestleManias. Notably, at this year’s Grandest Stage of them All, Logan Paul and The Miz battled against The Mysterious (Rey & Dominik).

Despite Paul showing off some impressive moves at ‘The Stupendous’ WrestleMania 38, the fans could not digest him. Well, the host, Brian Geordie, mentioned that whatever The Rock is today is because of the fans.

“Those wrestling fans are so f**king loyal. The Rock’s career was built off of that. Those fans are die-hard, and they have followed him right into the movies,” Davis added.
