Logan Paul: “I was the last person Vince McMahon ever signed which I thought was really cool”
While appearing on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, Logan Paul commented on being signed by WWE. Here was the exchange between Stephanie and Logan…
Stephanie: “So when social media first started, I was running our digital team at the time, and I remember going to a conference and hearing somebody talk about how social media was not 100% of one person’s job—it’s 1% of 100% of everybody’s job. And I brought that to Vince [McMahon], and he goes, no, no, no, no—it’s 100% of 100%. And then he was trying to make every department at that time implement social media, and we had to generate weekly reports on what our departments were doing in social media.
And even though he didn’t totally get it, he got it, right? He’s a genius that way—the ultimate promoter. And he knew, even if he didn’t understand you, he understood that you had something about going direct to the people. Because that’s the other thing—you bypass all the middlemen, you go right to the people.”
Logan: “And by the way, that’s the brilliance of Vince McMahon. We’ve seen that over the years. It’s like you have this ability to adapt even if you aren’t entirely sure what’s going on. You rely on people who are experts in a craft, and Vince trusted me. I was the last person Vince ever signed, which I thought was really cool.
You know what I learned from that, and your dad just in general — it’s all about the show. It’s all about the product. He built something that he would have died for. It was all about entertaining people. I have so much just respect for that.”
