WWE’s Logan Paul Reveals What He Learned From Incident That Got Him Cancelled
WWE‘s Logan Paul reveals what he learned from his controversial 2017 incident in Japan.
During his recent interview with former WWE Chairwoman Stephanie McMahon on her What’s Your Story podcast, Logan Paul reflected on the controversial incident in Japan’s Aokigahara forest that got him cancelled. He recalled how the incident made him the most disgraced YouTuber in history, and shared what he learned from the experience.
“There was a righteous fallout. God was just, and I basically lost everything that I’d spent the last 11 years building,” Logan Paul said. “And I deserved it. I think people see two sides of this. There are people who are like, ‘Yeah, that was fu**ed up. Can’t believe you did that.’ There are people who are like, ‘People overreacted.’ I agree with the former. I think it was a mistake, I think it didn’t need to happen.
“That said, I am grateful that I took that opportunity to backtrack, really look myself in the mirror, and ask myself how and why that happened? How did I get here? Where could I have possibly went wrong in my life where I thought that was a good idea? And asking myself those questions and doing my best to be honest with the answers led me down a separate path that has ultimately led me to become someone whom I can say I’m really proud of, and I’m really happy with,” Logan Paul said.
Logan Paul experimented with a lot of things to try to become a better person
“But it’s because I was willing to really become a better person, or at least do my absolute best to try to become a better person. I understood that forgiveness was not given, but I did ask to earn just a chance to be forgiven,” Logan Paul said. “‘Just open your mind. Give me a chance, let me try to show the world and show people the best version of myself.’
“And for me, I started experimenting with a bunch of different things to try to find myself, or at least who I wanted to be. I went vegan for a little bit. I know that sounds silly. But I thought there was an empathy thing maybe tied to animals and the food you consume, and maybe it alters the way you think. I started skydiving, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna put myself in positions where life or death decisions are made on a whim. I let myself fall in love for the first real time in my life, and I thought maybe that would teach me some things about life,” Logan Paul said.
Paul explained how boxing helped him to re-ground and humble himself
“And then, I started boxing because combat sports have an interesting way of allowing you to fight as hard as you possibly want, but you’re still gonna get the fu**ing s**t kicked out of you every day, and you have to show up the next day, and the next day if you want to get better. So, boxing for me was a way to re-ground myself, humble myself, and once again, become a likeable human being. Or at least a human being that could like themselves again,” Logan Paul said.
“Because I told you, we’ve vlogged for 460 days straight. I took that month off after YouTube blacklisted me, and basically went from being the golden boy to the most disgraced YouTuber in history. And I realized, I don’t know who I am. Even when I came back, I was still pretending, and then I tried to be the villain, and I was like, ‘That’s not me, either. Who the fu*k am I? So how do you figure out who you are? For me, I just did a lot of stuff. I did a lot of stuff, I grew up, I was willing to learn from my mistakes, and after dedicating myself to boxing, I realized, ‘Okay, I think I don’t maybe know who I am just yet, but I am on the right path,” Logan Paul finished.
Logan Paul had previously touched on this subject on his podcast. He claimed he’s not banned from Japan and is just waiting to be invited back or do something there for WWE.
