My favorite thing is that Logan is trying his best not to place any blame on what The Rock did and emphasizing how much he couldn't stop himself from being hurt. He knew it was coming but didn't stop it from hurting any less. I can respect any dude that can acknowledge a situation logically and fairly while admitting that they still couldn't cope with it emotionally. It's a great sign of growth and self-awareness.
Simple, everybody always wants to be with winners because that's what benefits them, but when they make a mistake, all of them wants nothing to do with you. That's reality of being a celebrity or in life. Those who still stick up with you from day 1 up until now are true friends for life.
Yeah no sh*t. It’s Hollywood dude. They’re not childhood friends. Rock doesn’t owe this dweeb anything for making fun of suicidal people just because they made three vines before previously lol
Its not that black and white! Celebrities like rock have and image to uphold. This is their career. Thus logan said he understood. Its not like they grew up together. They had a professional relationship.
“When The Rock was your age he couldn’t rub two pennies together , he was a struggling wrestler” 😐😂 at 27, the rock had already been WWE world champion, and was headlining his second Wrestlemania main event making millions per year. Rule number one true geordie : if you say something that you don’t have good knowledge on, do research first. 👍🏼
I thought I was the only one in these comments that notice the shade this dude said and didn't know wtf he was talking about smh who the hell is he? Lol
Not to mention I'm sick of all these people today comparing people that made it out in the real world to people who made it on UA-cam UA-cam wasn't around back then. the Internet wasn't around back then. people had to make their money the old fashioned way .you had to go out there and do something special. the rock was doing Just that. I'm not a fan of the rock .he voted for Biden and hes a democratic liberal who does whatever the masses tell him to d Do. but in any case he still went out there and made this money on his own in the real world before the Internet ,which made things much easier for everybody to succeed. Although he really wasn't rags to riches because his dad was a pro wrestler ,so come now ,but even though I'm tired of everybody else comparing themselves to these kids today that are playing fortnite. that's not the same as people who made it, and it took them a long time back in the day.
Dwayne Johnson was the opposite of a 'nobody' at Logan's age.. he was legit the youngest person to ever become WWE Championship 2 years prior 😂 where does Geordie get he's info from lol
I thing the point they were trying to make was at the time of Japan around the same age. logan was 22 at the time and massively famous and the Dwayne hadnt even started to try wrestling at that point
This bloke has grown up no end, I also hated him for his Japanese forest fiasco but he's won me over with how he's acted since. Every single human being makes mistakes in their life, but it's how we go forward from them that defines who you are as a human being. Logan has *EARNED* our forgiveness.
If he wants to change to become a better person then that's great. No one should be expected to forgive and forget what Logan did. Consequences of actions can suck for a reason.
Nobody was actually mad about that... You were just told to hate him for the Japanese forest.... but it was basically a kid Fuking around in graveyard,... the Media made it a big deal cuz of the whole "American boy disrespected their culture" Leftist media bent.... Robbing or assaulting someone is WAY worse.... it was basically a Nothing burger that got blown up way too big
@@_ghostt.8820 If you watched the podcast and have any comprehension, Logan knows and understands that, but it's the no-contact message through the agent is what hurt him. Other people who wanted to do the same privately told Logan that they had to disassociate themselves from him when the japan incident happened and Logan understood and appreciated that they at least contacted and talked to him. It's the lack of communication and effort that hurt Logan, since the Rock was his idol/hero and he believed they shared a good relationship. From his perspective, they already made a few videos together and probably had a few conversations which made Logan believe that they were acquainted and not just clout friends that met up once for a video then go their separate way, since they DID filmed multiple videos on separate occasions.
Yo bro, can you private or delete videos with me for the time being, I'm sure you can understand how it can negatively fk up my image. Simple lol, it's the fact that he didn't even say anything to him personally but thru other person
I mean logan did say, he was okay when someone called him and said, "the world hates you so I gotta seprate myself, so can you delete the the things".....logan just was upset that rock made his assistant, manager or however send him a message to delete everything
Logan understands the actions of the Rock but Logan understood why it happened. Doesn't mean it didn't hurt. Logan can still be hurt & talk about it. Its a big thing, a consequence & Logan takes responsibility. The Rock had to of felt Logan liked him, ppl arent stupid. The Rock had to protect his career & reputation. Kevin Heart called directly. But they are 2 different ppl
His answer was so stupid. The question was which celebrity “disappointed you” lol. This guy hardly knew the rock and is crying because he cut ties with Logan after recording himself laughing a dead person
@Fenrir I don’t think he’s insecure lmfao I think he just runs an extremely tight ship when it comes to his career. How tf would the Japan thing make him insecure 😂
I get where Logan is coming from but it’s an acquaintance who was just doing business. He took it personal because he’s his hero. No shade. Just facts. I like both guys.
Exactly this. Logan said it himself, not really friends but they're friendly to each other, acquaintances. Though he understands, he may have set himself up with his own expectations.
People are misinterpreting this, logan himself said that he understood where he came from, I think he felt as though that he and the rock weren't friends, but that they were acquainted, so he would've expected him to atleast tell him himself that he didn't want to associate with him, and the cherry on top was when logan began succeeding again the rock then messaged him as though they were friends and that nothing happened, in logan's mind it's like this, if you don't want me at my lowest, why should you have me at my best, and honestly i agree with logan, I do agree with the rock in the sense that I don't want anything to do with you, but in my mind where the rock went wrong was then messaging years later like nothing happened, in my eyes keep that same energy, you don't like me then you don't like me, don't switch up when I become alot more successful
Communication is the key to resolving any conflict and eliminating misunderstanding. You deserve a call or text from the Rock explaining why he wanted to disassociate. The Rock also deserves a call or text from you explaining how his actions made you feel. It goes both ways. We all make the mistake of holding onto resentment and anger when time and distance changes people’s hearts. Reach out to him and pour your heart out. I’m sure the Rock will receive you with open arms.
Nobody in this situation is particularly wrong but the rock by trying to pick up where there relationship left off is the messed up part…he shouldn’t of acted like nothing ever happened
Thanks for sharing that! No one ever knows the whole story. There’s always different sides to everything. Most importantly everyone makes mistakes and everyone has to learn from them. Good on you for owning up to your mistakes. Everyone deals with things in different ways. The fact that he reached out just says he’s seeing you doing better. I’d let it go and reach out to him and say hello! I’m sure after this video he’ll know. I think he’s a solid dude a good person. He obviously thinks you are to or he wouldn’t have said anything to you again. I hope it all works out. Friends like that don’t come around often at all. Thanks again.
@@genepadilla7754 Idk? I really don’t follow the Paul’s. I just happened to see this story about the Rock. I thought it was funny how he sees himself big enough to blow off the rock like, the rock will be sorry he ignored him or something. It’s all things I really don’t care about. Just entertaining to watch sometimes. These people are just people that will never have any effect or influence on my life nor help me in any way. I’ve enjoyed the movies and different things the rock has done. I like him in movies. I seriously doubt the Paul’s will ever have the status and respect the Rock does. Take care! Stay safe and healthy!!
The Rock was doing the right thing but it's just a shame he did it in an impersonal way, but I totally get why he had to and Logan isn't unreasonable for being upset at the situation. It was a product of circumstance.
That's not the right thing, its okay, but come on, Logan didn't kill anyone. Literally what Logan did was about as small of a scandal as possible. The Rock has kept ties with Vince McMahon for Christmas sakes haha.
@@brandonwhite4992 imagine saying laughing and disrespecting a suicide victim while they’re body is right in front of and then posting it online for MONEY AND PUBLICITY is a “small scandal” seek god friend
I’m hoping Dwayne sees this video. It just sounds like they weren’t on the same page in terms of the personalization that was needed for that interaction in that situation. I bet Dwayne has no idea how he felt about it. This story wasn’t damaging, but we definitely need a resolution.
Interesting conversation, I can see all sides of this and understand why it played out. I can also see Logan looking at him as a fan and hurting from the treatment he received even though he knew why, but the Rock was like pure business, no emotional attachment to any decisions made. I imagine most superstars act like that as it's all they know, most people they know are all best friends but reality is they don't even know which ones are friends and genuinely care and those who just act the part as and when. Pretty sad story really.
The other thing to consider is that a celebrities public persona is managed by an entire team of people. Everything they do is measured and planned to make sure they can appeal to as many people as possible. It may not have been rocks decision, it could have been his team and he just went along with it, because there is literally millions of dollars on the line with every decision. That being said it seems pretty clear that people in Hollywood don’t really have friends, just business relationships
Once upon a time, Logan considered the Rock as idol and they became some of a good friend. After the Japan incident, many of his idol (Kevin Hart is one of them) atleast talked with him directly and requested to delete any association (like mutual photo, vedio..etc) which Logan completely understood. Whereas, the Rock didn't contacted him directly and made his publisist to contact Logan and delete all associations. The thing is Kevin Hart and the rock has same publisist. So, this situation hurt logan..cause it's difficult to accept that your idol wants nothing with you anymore. That's all. Besides that the rock also did similar thing with Joe Rogan. Showing association and appreciation for people that only helps his career, then befriend them when it's convenient.
Anyone that's been following the Rock for a while, will know that he has always hinted about being a presidential candidate. His image is clearly very important to him and maybe he doesn't yet know if Logan can be 100% trusted like that. Y'all gotta remember there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye.
It is just kind of funny that Logan would get dropped like a sack of potatoes but recent politicians and Presidents/candidates have had 100x sketches associates than a dumbass Logan Paul that didn't really do anything that bad at all..
This right here. 100% Also gotta note that Logan is an outrage artist. Controversy is how Logan makes money. Logan is a bona fide sociopath: He might have empathy for a select group of people but 99% of the time he can’t summon remorse or shame for his actions. This personality trait is what allows him to be an outrage artist. This “apology” is just as genuine as Dwayne’s “friendship” with Logan. FFS.
The Rock is a politician and I get where he's coming from. I get where Logan is coming from because I'm a sensitive guy too and when he said "the Rock doesn't owe me anything", I felt that. Like, our brains are giving us the logical explanation but our hearts are also saying "Ow... That is someone you looked up to, he likes everyone but even he doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. How stupid were you to even think he was a friend in the first place and no one should be your friend right now anyway." Them thoughts can be a monster some times.
A politician indeed. The Rock also abandoned Joe Rogan when he was getting cancelled. Sure he was never really actual friends with either of them so it's not really much of a betrayal but the man clearly will not hesitate to throw someone under the bus if it benefits him. Just like a politician. Though maybe he's more loyal to actual friends. Or maybe not...
@@BrandonHeat243 yea he was more loyal to Kevin heart when Kevin was canceled the rock was still working with him. So I do think he's willing to work with people who are "canceled" if they are his friend.
@@BrandonHeat243 only person to throw himself under the bus was Logan, and that’s a very untimely anology because The Rock’s mum tries to throw herself in front of cars and he dragged her back. He’s lucky The Rock reached out to him at all. How you can take that The Rock is only self-interested - in the same way, Logan seems self-interested here - his feelings don’t come above that shocking video he made. This whole ‘cancelled’, thing is a joke. If someone’s kills someone they aren’t ‘cancelled’, they are scumbags. Lesser crime, yes, but he was ‘cancelled’ for a reason, and that was trying profit from suicide.
Can look at it two way. If Logan never went to Japan , his career may have continued to skyrocket. However in going to Japan, Logan hit a wall but grew from it, made him humble and consequently more likeable. His career is now skyrocketing AND he has changed for the better.
Public vs private are two separate lives. Publicly Dwayne did the right thing, but Logan was only 22ish when he messed up. That's barely more than a kid really to be under scrutiny from the entire western world. Dwayne should have called. Makes a world of difference.
Could of been a lot more to the story than his image or how it would look to be connected with Logan it could have actually rubbed Dwayne the wrong way himself and changed his opinion on who he thought logan was drastically. Would be hard for someone who has real experiences with the thought of suicide of someone very close to him
@@harveyshelley6341 he could be just like anybody else who hated Logan for what he did but years and years later came to realize that he's not the same person who did that back then and he changed for the better. I think there's plenty of people who didn't want to see anything related to logan for a long time and maybe now even I bet there's still people who don't realize he's a much better person now
@@edulric then be upfront about it.. all the rock ever preaches about is “blood sweat and respect” “courage” “confidence” where was this? Why didnt he confront him atleast, wtf is this snake weasel attitude of “hahaha bro funny monkey video” lol not even in middle school girls did that kind of weak BS
The Rock is my favorite superstar ever, and I was excited to meet him one day. Especially since he has a tequila warehouse in a town near where my parents grew up, but my cousin met him and he told me The Rock is very stuck up person towards the Mexican workers there. That he wants to be treated above everyone else. Hopefully this isn’t true when I meet him….I’ll be more disappointed in him than Logan
No Logan it doesn’t damage anything with the Rock. It sheds light on your feelings and youre 100% right. Ive been in similar scenarios (not dealing with fame and money) but nonetheless it sucks when your buddies turn their backs on you.
To save everyone's time, Logan thought him and the Rock were friends while in reality they weren't. After the historical Japan thing that Logan pulled off, Dwayne wanted no part of Logan anymore. That's pretty much it.
Oh no, how dare Rock not get in touch with someone he probably didn't consider a friend after he did a really gross thing. Shocker. Why would he have given a rats arse about Logan after the Japan stuff.
You forgot to mention, that the Rock messaged him a few months ago, acting like nothing ever happened and saying he "always supported him", while he clearly did not
@@FLYEYE-4k Did you watch the video? Logan said that the rock messaged him a few months ago acting like nothing ever happened and texted him he "always supported him". I never gave my opinion on the situation, I just corrected your comment since this is something you left out while "summarizing" the video
Dwayne should have acted differently, like a big brother who would support and guide him through tough times. Or may be it wasn't Dwayne but his managers who took the decision volunteerly
Got respect for Logan for this. I don’t think he’s bad for saying this story at all. We don’t know the ins and outs of their relationship, so we can’t comment. But got nothing but respect for him revisiting a dark place in his life, he didn’t need to but he did.
Fair play to Logan on this one. This was clearly an incredibly personal story for him. Funny though I also considered that The Rock's team made the decision for brand protection & he just signed off on it in passing. I think Logan handled the story and the Rock's position on this with respect and dignity while conveying his emotions and very tangible connection to the story. Well played...💪😈🤙
Logan pretty much said it was because the Rock had been effected by suicide in his past. If they were good friends it would be different. But Rock may be Logans hero, but Rock probably didn't even know him that well. Its very understandable Rock would want to cut ties if he had people in his life that have taken their own life before
Right now, I think Logan Paul is about 27 years old. The Rock at 27 was a prodigy he was at his peak in the wwf. He was far from a nobody. It was actually at this time when The rock was starting to get noticed for a movie career. Then it all went down hill for him and he stopped being The authentic Rock, from 1998 to 2001
I haven't kept up with wrestling since the end of the Attitude era. I'm just coming back to it, so I'm only now learning about Logan Paul. But respect to you both for the even handed way you told this story and the way you're apparently dealing with it. I'm not an authority on the matter by any means, but my advice would be to have the conversation with him now that you have put the story out there. As you say - you will certainly cross paths again. I don't think it would be a difficult conversation to have once you open the dialogue. It seems like making the first step is the only difficult bit in your own head. And I'm roughly 97.8% sure that DJ would appreciate your perspective. If I were The Rock, I would like you all the more for telling me how you felt.
Respect for where Logan has come, and what sort of man he's moved into. He deserves credit, in my opinion, for the work, especially personal work, that he's done for himself. It's impressive for anyone. There's a ton of maturity present in this conversation. That's a heartbreaking expierence, and could crumble some. He endured though. He overcame. He's not the only one that does this, alot of us do. We survive. That deserves admiration and acknowledgment all the same, but doing it publicly is a whole other ball game. Everything is magnified. Yet again, something that would crumble some, he found his way throught it. It seems he's put in the work on himself and isn't shying away from accountability. I'll champion that all day long. I could care less about him as an entertainer. I've only really ever thought of him as a sort of moron . As a human though, he geniuely seems like a cool guy. Good on him.
Logan is a top fella. I can relate to his story. Having grown up with so many idols ( jcvd, Seagal, Jackie Chan etc...) I was excited to work with my idols ( or though I've worked with most ) one in particular really disappointed me and watching his movies just isn't the same, anymore 😭
Real people make real mistakes Logan. Big and small. Thanks for being human and recognizing your growth. It only makes you more respectable in my opinion ❤️💯
Lol The title of this video should be - 'How Logan let the Rock down.' Lol what Logan did was stupid, and the Rock didn't owe him anything. If he truly understands why the Rock distanced himself from him, then he shouldn't be too upset. Lol it would have been nice for Rock to acknowledge the effort hes made to change his image but he don't have to. Either way i like Logan, I just felt from the way he was going on it was gonna be deeper than that.
I agree with what you said at the beginning but why did he reply to Logan video as if nothing ever happened?? If he wants to distance himself then that’s fine but don’t come back to him as if nothing ever happen when he’s on the come up. It’s just looks fake then
From an outsider perspective I think it doesn’t look too bad but on a personal level for Logan it clearly hit deeply and it probably also didnt help he wasnt sober in this.
@@TRiXz_2K absolutely Look I like the rock way more than I like logan.. but what if he's telling is true.. sorry but kinda of a cunt move from the rock. So logan didn't even deserved a little message from u at is lower point of his life.. but now that is doing great again, its like nothing never happened? That's just being fake
I think it may have been because the rock mother actually had attempted suicide. So possibly when he saw this it may have brought up unpleasant memories for him. And there’s another thing it could be. Relationship wise it seemed there wasn’t ever one established. Like are we friends/acquaintances. To the rock he may not see Logan as a friend or acquaintance. There’s some people who misinterpret an individual being nice or having a conversation with them once in a blue moon as a relationship but you have to clarify with the other person what exactly that relationship is. it’s easy to say the rock did that to him to protect his image but we truly only know Logan Paul’s relationship with him from Logans prospective.
@@jaytatum725 umm you do realize there was so many wrestlers that had committed suicide that he had friendships with, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and so many others that he grew up watching
@@EFN_Hawks I honestly don’t know much about the Rock. I don’t judge the guy for acting how he did. I just think if he feels that strongly about it then the first thing rekindling a relationship with Logan shouldn’t be about Prime. And if he doesn’t then a personal phone call or explanation the first time around would’ve been nice but not necessary. I think a part of this is probably the thought that Logan might not have been able to jumpstart his career again when it first happened.
@@EFN_Hawks Eddie Guerrero did not commit suicide he died from heart failure related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.. a condition that Eddie was unaware of that he was suffering from when he was alive.
I hated Logan for a long time after Japan. I'm just now starting to respect him again. I don't blame the Rock for cutting ties. Logan was toxic at that point in his career.
Wow that was deep I watched a lot of stuff on Logan that was hard for Logan to say Logan knows he was wrong but Dwayne The Rock Johnson at least called or sent a text
If this is what I think it is... it's brilliant. Kudos to the WWE for taking a risk and a leap into a bold new direction. I haven't watched WWE in decades. Have found myself drawn in over the past few months due to their incorporation of outside-the-ring talent who wind up being incredible talent in the ring. I'm not positive this is the direction they'll continue to go in, but if I'm them,... you don't distance yourself from this,... you lean in. Logan Paul Vs The Rock Wrestlemania 39 (Special Guest Referee Gary Vee). "Battle for the Blueprint" of what direction the WWE heads in a post McMahon Era.
Are we really sure The Rock actually personally asked to have Logan remove all their posts together, or did this publicist tell The Rock they should do so, he agreed and forgot about it because he’s probably got tons of other things and relationships to deal with and the publicist told Logan The Rock personally requested it when in actual fact it was the publicist’s idea the whole time.
The way The Rock backed off when Joe Rogan was getting backlash shows you he's only interested in himself and will never extend his hand when you're being beat down. He's all about his image. No longer electrifying if you ask me and good for Logan for not replying back.
I mean he’s a grown man tho I think you either say something or don’t. Geordie backed off on Logan’s girlfriend rightfully so, but he half mentioned this and then didn’t wanna talk so I think rightfully Geordie pushed him.
Naah he just made it seem that way for the content…. Logan Paul and his brother jake are both extremely well media trained and know exactly what they have to do to stay at the top of their game…. I guarantee Logan Paul had already planned to talk about his relationship with the Rock before this interview…. The way he was indecisive about telling the Story along with the stuttering with all that emotion was all a act to convince the Public it’s a big story…. You have to hand it the Kid he knows what’s he’s doing and is very Good at it….
I think logan should reach back and try to do it on a call instead of a text. Just ask him.if he wants to chat on a call. If he doesnt want to then dont waste your time
It’s not the Rock’s fault that’s the way he operates. It’s tough build up off damages to relationships. I’m absolutely confident that the Rock and Logan will see same face again and repair the relationship by relating to what they are now in their respective careers. It’s doesn’t have to go deep in how “never meet your heroes bc they’ll will disappoints you,” just enjoy the blessing, don’t underestimate the joys of the life has bring and let life be the most value-able and greatest teacher.
Did people watch the video ? He says he understand it but he wanted to hear that from him not his team. And no I don’t support LP but I understand what he is saying. “ if you don’t like me at my lowest. Then you are not welcomed when I’m at the top”
did you even watch the video? he litteraly said he understands why the rock cut all ties with him, it hurt him since he looks up to him, but he understood why he did it, the one at fault was him in the first place. what's messed up is that now that logan is doing better and is successful, the rock suddenly reaches out to him acting like nothing ever happened between them.
Like another comment on here said, the cherry on top was when the rock reached out to Logan Paul long after the Japan incident and Logan had already fought ksi and Mayweather and had partnership with a juice brand.
Everyone is only looking after number 1 and rightly so. You have to look after number 1. That's the most important. However there is a classy way to do it and picking up the phone is an extremely underrated way of doing so, always pick-up the phone if you want to clear the air with someone.
I’m sure it was his publicist idea to protect the rock at all costs. Seems like Logan is holding a little bit of a personal grudge for his publicist’s decision.
Dude, the statement that The Rock benefited from those viral videos is so incorrect, I can’t even. The Rock is the big name, he was doing this “kid” a favour. Kevin Hart has also had his own controversies, which explains why he reacted the way he did. But also, if you’re so hurt, just got an talk to him as there is “open communication.”
Amazing how wrong and assumptive each statement you made is. Did you just watch a different story? Half the explanation was about potentials of others intentions. You could even, you simply won't.
I think Logan has put this subject in his back pocket for long enough and released this revelation at the right time to gain further traction as marketing for his current products (Prime and 99 originals) .Given his involvement with the WWE Dwayne will reach out to him and they will create positive media together whilst solidifying Mr Pauls brand into the mainstream even further. Hungover and hurt my ass, he's just a genius marketer. This is the reason I like Logan Paul.
I think its quite probable that the Rock simply forgot about asking to remove himself from Logan's life. Its clear that the relationship meant alot more to Logan, and the incident in Japan understandably consumed his entire life. For the Rock meanwhile it was likely just a tuesday. He saw the news, asked to be removed and likely moved on with his life the second after making the call to his agent. He didn't carry it with him, and therefore 6 years later when he reaches out to Logan probably didn't think about that moment
he also underestimated how much of a shithead he was back then and thinking people actually like him for him rather than all the clout he had. Literally a spoiled white kid that was probably the antithesis of everything the rock worked for/struggled through but hey he's poppin off on social media so he probably had to entertain "this logan guy" for a bit. It's like a group project -- you just gotta deal with it till the term is done and then you can move on. The rock can charm you even if he doesn't like you - he's just that good.
Best thing logan can do is keep doing big things like he’s doing now. He’s apart of wwe, fought floyd, working with ksi, prime deals. He’ll be so big the rock would have to notice him again, just continue to ignore him
Would be very curious as to what Dwayne said to him after all this seeing how he hurt Logan. He seems like a nice guy so I would think this might make him think
A mans man.. Been following this man since he was doing splits for the vine 😂😂.. He should break out the old college clothes and bang out a few splits for youtube shorts just cause he can ✊🏼✊🏼
So he was upset that there was no communication from DJ about the incident, then when he finally hears from him he doesn't bother to communicate anything about how that made him feel? Really emotionally mature, champ. The Rock cut someone else off recently for something that wasn't a huge deal, can't remember who but seems like he's more about his image and brand than any kind of loyalty. Oh well.
he hit rock bottom
This should be top comment
Lol looks familiar
Then he got The People's Elbow.
I see what you did here
Damn
My favorite thing is that Logan is trying his best not to place any blame on what The Rock did and emphasizing how much he couldn't stop himself from being hurt.
He knew it was coming but didn't stop it from hurting any less. I can respect any dude that can acknowledge a situation logically and fairly while admitting that they still couldn't cope with it emotionally. It's a great sign of growth and self-awareness.

Although he really wasn't rags to riches because his dad was a pro wrestler ,so come now ,but even though I'm tired of everybody else comparing themselves to these kids today that are playing fortnite. that's not the same as people who made it, and it took them a long time back in the day.
@Traitordems we definitely agree trust me
Dwayne Johnson was the opposite of a 'nobody' at Logan's age.. he was legit the youngest person to ever become WWE Championship 2 years prior 😂 where does Geordie get he's info from lol
Right lol , Logan’s 27 now He’s not exactly young in the game anymore . In 1999 the rock was 27 at probably at one of the peaks of his career
Thank you I was just thinking this 😂😂
He speaks out of his ass
I thing the point they were trying to make was at the time of Japan around the same age. logan was 22 at the time and massively famous and the Dwayne hadnt even started to try wrestling at that point
Shut up
This bloke has grown up no end, I also hated him for his Japanese forest fiasco but he's won me over with how he's acted since. Every single human being makes mistakes in their life, but it's how we go forward from them that defines who you are as a human being. Logan has *EARNED* our forgiveness.
Yall are weird for thinking you control anything 😭😭
If he wants to change to become a better person then that's great. No one should be expected to forgive and forget what Logan did. Consequences of actions can suck for a reason.
@@nichelleharris7496 what did he do
Lol you’re hilarious bud
Nobody was actually mad about that... You were just told to hate him for the Japanese forest.... but it was basically a kid Fuking around in graveyard,... the Media made it a big deal cuz of the whole "American boy disrespected their culture" Leftist media bent.... Robbing or assaulting someone is WAY worse.... it was basically a Nothing burger that got blown up way too big
Dwayne saved his image, it's what makes him money. As you said its the bed you made for yourself. Things may change in time, that was ages ago.
@@_ghostt.8820 If you watched the podcast and have any comprehension, Logan knows and understands that, but it's the no-contact message through the agent is what hurt him. Other people who wanted to do the same privately told Logan that they had to disassociate themselves from him when the japan incident happened and Logan understood and appreciated that they at least contacted and talked to him. It's the lack of communication and effort that hurt Logan, since the Rock was his idol/hero and he believed they shared a good relationship.
From his perspective, they already made a few videos together and probably had a few conversations which made Logan believe that they were acquainted and not just clout friends that met up once for a video then go their separate way, since they DID filmed multiple videos on separate occasions.
I hear that but privately he could have reached out and spoke to him but not not reach out and the pretend everything is alright? Naaar that's fake
Yo bro, can you private or delete videos with me for the time being, I'm sure you can understand how it can negatively fk up my image. Simple lol, it's the fact that he didn't even say anything to him personally but thru other person
I mean logan did say, he was okay when someone called him and said, "the world hates you so I gotta seprate myself, so can you delete the the things".....logan just was upset that rock made his assistant, manager or however send him a message to delete everything
U can save your image and at least talk to the person directly out of respect, i love the rock but that was wrong
When he asked if telling that story “damaged” actually kinda hit the feels a bit. You can tell he doesn’t wanna hurt anyone.
Logan understands the actions of the Rock
but Logan understood why it happened.
Doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
Logan can still be hurt & talk about it.
Its a big thing, a consequence & Logan takes responsibility.
The Rock had to of felt Logan liked him, ppl arent stupid.
The Rock had to protect his career & reputation.
Kevin Heart called directly.
But they are 2 different ppl
His answer was so stupid. The question was which celebrity “disappointed you” lol. This guy hardly knew the rock and is crying because he cut ties with Logan after recording himself laughing a dead person
@@georgepoly4842 The question wasn't which celebrity, it was if he's ever had a hero disappoint him. Pay attention chief 🤗
@@georgepoly4842 Rock is a sell out anyway. An I'm a wwe rock fan since 2000
@Fenrir I don’t think he’s insecure lmfao I think he just runs an extremely tight ship when it comes to his career. How tf would the Japan thing make him insecure 😂
it ain't about career what he did was morally wrong who cares about his career.
I get where Logan is coming from but it’s an acquaintance who was just doing business. He took it personal because he’s his hero. No shade. Just facts. I like both guys.
Exactly this. Logan said it himself, not really friends but they're friendly to each other, acquaintances. Though he understands, he may have set himself up with his own expectations.
If they had a relationship for 10 or 20 years then the rock would look bad but, bottom line it was a business relationship nothing more
People are misinterpreting this, logan himself said that he understood where he came from, I think he felt as though that he and the rock weren't friends, but that they were acquainted, so he would've expected him to atleast tell him himself that he didn't want to associate with him, and the cherry on top was when logan began succeeding again the rock then messaged him as though they were friends and that nothing happened, in logan's mind it's like this, if you don't want me at my lowest, why should you have me at my best, and honestly i agree with logan, I do agree with the rock in the sense that I don't want anything to do with you, but in my mind where the rock went wrong was then messaging years later like nothing happened, in my eyes keep that same energy, you don't like me then you don't like me, don't switch up when I become alot more successful

Imagine the press conference if JJ knew this info back in 2018 and 2019 😅
Communication is the key to resolving any conflict and eliminating misunderstanding. You deserve a call or text from the Rock explaining why he wanted to disassociate. The Rock also deserves a call or text from you explaining how his actions made you feel. It goes both ways. We all make the mistake of holding onto resentment and anger when time and distance changes people’s hearts. Reach out to him and pour your heart out. I’m sure the Rock will receive you with open arms.
Lmao, no he didn’t, Logan didn’t deserved anything. His “redemption” was also PR too as now he’s a proven scammer
The pain is tangible. It’s a beautiful story that I think a lot of people can relate to. Maybe not on a celebrity status but in other aspects
Nobody in this situation is particularly wrong but the rock by trying to pick up where there relationship left off is the messed up part…he shouldn’t of acted like nothing ever happened

Thanks for sharing that! No one ever knows the whole story. There’s always different sides to everything. Most importantly everyone makes mistakes and everyone has to learn from them. Good on you for owning up to your mistakes. Everyone deals with things in different ways. The fact that he reached out just says he’s seeing you doing better. I’d let it go and reach out to him and say hello! I’m sure after this video he’ll know. I think he’s a solid dude a good person. He obviously thinks you are to or he wouldn’t have said anything to you again. I hope it all works out. Friends like that don’t come around often at all. Thanks again.

@@genepadilla7754 Idk? I really don’t follow the Paul’s. I just happened to see this story about the Rock. I thought it was funny how he sees himself big enough to blow off the rock like, the rock will be sorry he ignored him or something. It’s all things I really don’t care about. Just entertaining to watch sometimes. These people are just people that will never have any effect or influence on my life nor help me in any way. I’ve enjoyed the movies and different things the rock has done. I like him in movies. I seriously doubt the Paul’s will ever have the status and respect the Rock does. Take care! Stay safe and healthy!!
Dude, dont u have life writing paragraphs
@@aturtle7424 Yes I have life!! Plenty of it . Thanks!
The Rock was doing the right thing but it's just a shame he did it in an impersonal way, but I totally get why he had to and Logan isn't unreasonable for being upset at the situation. It was a product of circumstance.
That's not the right thing, its okay, but come on, Logan didn't kill anyone. Literally what Logan did was about as small of a scandal as possible. The Rock has kept ties with Vince McMahon for Christmas sakes haha.
@@brandonwhite4992 ya but he did film someone’s dead body while laughing with his friends

Wasn't right. I love the Rock but it would have been a great opportunity for Rock to mentor him in his time of need.
I’m hoping Dwayne sees this video. It just sounds like they weren’t on the same page in terms of the personalization that was needed for that interaction in that situation. I bet Dwayne has no idea how he felt about it. This story wasn’t damaging, but we definitely need a resolution.
He is a Materialistic person
No emotions no loyalty
Could say Logan hit “ROCK BOTTOM”
Interesting conversation, I can see all sides of this and understand why it played out. I can also see Logan looking at him as a fan and hurting from the treatment he received even though he knew why, but the Rock was like pure business, no emotional attachment to any decisions made. I imagine most superstars act like that as it's all they know, most people they know are all best friends but reality is they don't even know which ones are friends and genuinely care and those who just act the part as and when.
Pretty sad story really.
The other thing to consider is that a celebrities public persona is managed by an entire team of people. Everything they do is measured and planned to make sure they can appeal to as many people as possible. It may not have been rocks decision, it could have been his team and he just went along with it, because there is literally millions of dollars on the line with every decision. That being said it seems pretty clear that people in Hollywood don’t really have friends, just business relationships
why have courtesy to someone who exploited the suicide of a depressed person for youtube views?
Once upon a time, Logan considered the Rock as idol and they became some of a good friend. After the Japan incident, many of his idol (Kevin Hart is one of them) atleast talked with him directly and requested to delete any association (like mutual photo, vedio..etc) which Logan completely understood. Whereas, the Rock didn't contacted him directly and made his publisist to contact Logan and delete all associations. The thing is Kevin Hart and the rock has same publisist. So, this situation hurt logan..cause it's difficult to accept that your idol wants nothing with you anymore. That's all.
Besides that the rock also did similar thing with Joe Rogan. Showing association and appreciation for people that only helps his career, then befriend them when it's convenient.
the rock doesnt need him
@@AC-mp7cx but it's a smart move to hang around the upcoming stars......just a smart move in general to stay relevant

@@AVERUNS no
You can tell right away Dwayne only cares about money. It was never about friendship.
Did logan smell what he was cooking?
Anyone that's been following the Rock for a while, will know that he has always hinted about being a presidential candidate. His image is clearly very important to him and maybe he doesn't yet know if Logan can be 100% trusted like that. Y'all gotta remember there's a lot more going on here than meets the eye.
It is just kind of funny that Logan would get dropped like a sack of potatoes but recent politicians and Presidents/candidates have had 100x sketches associates than a dumbass Logan Paul that didn't really do anything that bad at all..
This right here. 100% Also gotta note that Logan is an outrage artist. Controversy is how Logan makes money. Logan is a bona fide sociopath: He might have empathy for a select group of people but 99% of the time he can’t summon remorse or shame for his actions. This personality trait is what allows him to be an outrage artist. This “apology” is just as genuine as Dwayne’s “friendship” with Logan. FFS.
The Rock is a politician and I get where he's coming from.
I get where Logan is coming from because I'm a sensitive guy too and when he said "the Rock doesn't owe me anything", I felt that. Like, our brains are giving us the logical explanation but our hearts are also saying "Ow... That is someone you looked up to, he likes everyone but even he doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. How stupid were you to even think he was a friend in the first place and no one should be your friend right now anyway."
Them thoughts can be a monster some times.
A politician indeed. The Rock also abandoned Joe Rogan when he was getting cancelled. Sure he was never really actual friends with either of them so it's not really much of a betrayal but the man clearly will not hesitate to throw someone under the bus if it benefits him. Just like a politician. Though maybe he's more loyal to actual friends. Or maybe not...
@@BrandonHeat243 it's always hard to tell if a politician has any real friends.
I think the old saying goes, "A friend to all is a friend to none".
@@BrandonHeat243 yea the rock doing that to rogan made no sense. rock has said a lot of racist stuff too. there's video proof of it
@@BrandonHeat243 yea he was more loyal to Kevin heart when Kevin was canceled the rock was still working with him. So I do think he's willing to work with people who are "canceled" if they are his friend.
@@BrandonHeat243 only person to throw himself under the bus was Logan, and that’s a very untimely anology because The Rock’s mum tries to throw herself in front of cars and he dragged her back. He’s lucky The Rock reached out to him at all. How you can take that The Rock is only self-interested - in the same way, Logan seems self-interested here - his feelings don’t come above that shocking video he made. This whole ‘cancelled’, thing is a joke. If someone’s kills someone they aren’t ‘cancelled’, they are scumbags. Lesser crime, yes, but he was ‘cancelled’ for a reason, and that was trying profit from suicide.
You don't get a call or text from an acquaintance, you get that from a friend.
Which you said he wasn't to you.
Logan vs Rock - Wrestlemania 3 years from now!
Can look at it two way. If Logan never went to Japan , his career may have continued to skyrocket. However in going to Japan, Logan hit a wall but grew from it, made him humble and consequently more likeable. His career is now skyrocketing AND he has changed for the better.
Thats true. Before he was for a mature public very hard to watch. But us u said he made a very brave staps which he can be very proud about
Interesting story, Logan Paul has grown and matured so much, very well thought out answer to the Rock situation, happy to see Logan’s success 👏
Public vs private are two separate lives. Publicly Dwayne did the right thing, but Logan was only 22ish when he messed up. That's barely more than a kid really to be under scrutiny from the entire western world. Dwayne should have called. Makes a world of difference.
Could of been a lot more to the story than his image or how it would look to be connected with Logan it could have actually rubbed Dwayne the wrong way himself and changed his opinion on who he thought logan was drastically. Would be hard for someone who has real experiences with the thought of suicide of someone very close to him
But if it did why would he message Logan when he’s on top like nothing happened
@@harveyshelley6341 he could be just like anybody else who hated Logan for what he did but years and years later came to realize that he's not the same person who did that back then and he changed for the better. I think there's plenty of people who didn't want to see anything related to logan for a long time and maybe now even I bet there's still people who don't realize he's a much better person now
@@edulric then be upfront about it.. all the rock ever preaches about is “blood sweat and respect” “courage” “confidence” where was this?

Yep, This is my opinion too.
@@harveyshelley6341 Because it’s been 4 years, and he’s seen how Logan has grown and matured.
The Rock is my favorite superstar ever, and I was excited to meet him one day. Especially since he has a tequila warehouse in a town near where my parents grew up, but my cousin met him and he told me The Rock is very stuck up person towards the Mexican workers there. That he wants to be treated above everyone else. Hopefully this isn’t true when I meet him….I’ll be more disappointed in him than Logan
Bryan the rock was a superstar when he was Logan’s age what are you on about lad
No Logan it doesn’t damage anything with the Rock. It sheds light on your feelings and youre 100% right. Ive been in similar scenarios (not dealing with fame and money) but nonetheless it sucks when your buddies turn their backs on you.
To save everyone's time,
Logan thought him and the Rock were friends while in reality they weren't. After the historical Japan thing that Logan pulled off, Dwayne wanted no part of Logan anymore. That's pretty much it.
Oh no, how dare Rock not get in touch with someone he probably didn't consider a friend after he did a really gross thing. Shocker.
Why would he have given a rats arse about Logan after the Japan stuff.
You forgot to mention, that the Rock messaged him a few months ago, acting like nothing ever happened and saying he "always supported him", while he clearly did not
@@sneezemachine you want the rock to support a guy who just filmed a dead body and posted it on youtube.
Plus a lot of whining mixed in
@@FLYEYE-4k Did you watch the video? Logan said that the rock messaged him a few months ago acting like nothing ever happened and texted him he "always supported him". I never gave my opinion on the situation, I just corrected your comment since this is something you left out while "summarizing" the video
Dwayne should have acted differently, like a big brother who would support and guide him through tough times. Or may be it wasn't Dwayne but his managers who took the decision volunteerly
Only he is not his brother
@@EZ-bx9pc Well it doesnt take much to just do a quick call instead...
The rock was main eventing at 27
Got respect for Logan for this. I don’t think he’s bad for saying this story at all. We don’t know the ins and outs of their relationship, so we can’t comment. But got nothing but respect for him revisiting a dark place in his life, he didn’t need to but he did.
Anyone thought they'd ever hear the words: 'Kevin Hart is a different breed to The Rock' 😂
Fair play to Logan on this one. This was clearly an incredibly personal story for him. Funny though I also considered that The Rock's team made the decision for brand protection & he just signed off on it in passing. I think Logan handled the story and the Rock's position on this with respect and dignity while conveying his emotions and very tangible connection to the story. Well played...💪😈🤙
Logan pretty much said it was because the Rock had been effected by suicide in his past. If they were good friends it would be different. But Rock may be Logans hero, but Rock probably didn't even know him that well. Its very understandable Rock would want to cut ties if he had people in his life that have taken their own life before
Stop saying "Fair play"
Right now, I think Logan Paul is about 27 years old. The Rock at 27 was a prodigy he was at his peak in the wwf. He was far from a nobody. It was actually at this time when The rock was starting to get noticed for a movie career. Then it all went down hill for him and he stopped being The authentic Rock, from 1998 to 2001
@Frank P real fans know him as the rock from 1997 to 2001. Not this Obama wannabe Dwayne Johnson.
I haven't kept up with wrestling since the end of the Attitude era. I'm just coming back to it, so I'm only now learning about Logan Paul. But respect to you both for the even handed way you told this story and the way you're apparently dealing with it.
I'm not an authority on the matter by any means, but my advice would be to have the conversation with him now that you have put the story out there. As you say - you will certainly cross paths again. I don't think it would be a difficult conversation to have once you open the dialogue. It seems like making the first step is the only difficult bit in your own head. And I'm roughly 97.8% sure that DJ would appreciate your perspective.
If I were The Rock, I would like you all the more for telling me how you felt.
Respect for where Logan has come, and what sort of man he's moved into. He deserves credit, in my opinion, for the work, especially personal work, that he's done for himself. It's impressive for anyone. There's a ton of maturity present in this conversation. That's a heartbreaking expierence, and could crumble some. He endured though. He overcame.
He's not the only one that does this, alot of us do. We survive. That deserves admiration and acknowledgment all the same, but doing it publicly is a whole other ball game. Everything is magnified. Yet again, something that would crumble some, he found his way throught it.
It seems he's put in the work on himself and isn't shying away from accountability. I'll champion that all day long.
I could care less about him as an entertainer. I've only really ever thought of him as a sort of moron . As a human though, he geniuely seems like a cool guy.
Good on him.
Agree, I really respect and I like what he did and where he is right now.
Even I agree! Mad respect for Logan, and I used to absolutely hate him!
Still gets his back blown out
You where very wrong 😂😂
Logan is a top fella. I can relate to his story. Having grown up with so many idols ( jcvd, Seagal, Jackie Chan etc...) I was excited to work with my idols ( or though I've worked with most ) one in particular really disappointed me and watching his movies just isn't the same, anymore 😭

Dwayne is the opposite of Ye, Kanye seems to want to be affiliated with people embroiled in controversy lol
Lol The title of this video should be - 'How Logan let the Rock down.'
Lol what Logan did was stupid, and the Rock didn't owe him anything. If he truly understands why the Rock distanced himself from him, then he shouldn't be too upset. Lol it would have been nice for Rock to acknowledge the effort hes made to change his image but he don't have to.
Either way i like Logan, I just felt from the way he was going on it was gonna be deeper than that.
I agree with what you said at the beginning but why did he reply to Logan video as if nothing ever happened?? If he wants to distance himself then that’s fine but don’t come back to him as if nothing ever happen when he’s on the come up. It’s just looks fake then
Not reading your book ffs 🤦♂️
From an outsider perspective I think it doesn’t look too bad but on a personal level for Logan it clearly hit deeply and it probably also didnt help he wasnt sober in this.
The Rock has made racist remarks during his WWE career and nobody cancelled him, he never apologised either. But he is The Rock, so it's okay.
@@TRiXz_2K absolutely
Look I like the rock way more than I like logan.. but what if he's telling is true.. sorry but kinda of a cunt move from the rock.
So logan didn't even deserved a little message from u at is lower point of his life.. but now that is doing great again, its like nothing never happened?
That's just being fake
The Rock saw that Logan is no good, he's a smart man.
I think it may have been because the rock mother actually had attempted suicide. So possibly when he saw this it may have brought up unpleasant memories for him. And there’s another thing it could be. Relationship wise it seemed there wasn’t ever one established. Like are we friends/acquaintances. To the rock he may not see Logan as a friend or acquaintance. There’s some people who misinterpret an individual being nice or having a conversation with them once in a blue moon as a relationship but you have to clarify with the other person what exactly that relationship is. it’s easy to say the rock did that to him to protect his image but we truly only know Logan Paul’s relationship with him from Logans prospective.
I agreed with Logan until I read this. If his mother attempted suicide this changes the whole narrative.
@@jaytatum725 umm you do realize there was so many wrestlers that had committed suicide that he had friendships with, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and so many others that he grew up watching
@@EFN_Hawks I honestly don’t know much about the Rock. I don’t judge the guy for acting how he did. I just think if he feels that strongly about it then the first thing rekindling a relationship with Logan shouldn’t be about Prime. And if he doesn’t then a personal phone call or explanation the first time around would’ve been nice but not necessary. I think a part of this is probably the thought that Logan might not have been able to jumpstart his career again when it first happened.
@cmike5230 why you delete your comment lol. thought you knew something huh? 🤣
@@EFN_Hawks Eddie Guerrero did not commit suicide he died from heart failure related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.. a condition that Eddie was unaware of that he was suffering from when he was alive.
I hated Logan for a long time after Japan.
I'm just now starting to respect him again.
I don't blame the Rock for cutting ties. Logan was toxic at that point in his career.
Wow that was deep I watched a lot of stuff on Logan that was hard for Logan to say Logan knows he was wrong but Dwayne The Rock Johnson at least called or sent a text
If this is what I think it is... it's brilliant.
Kudos to the WWE for taking a risk and a leap into a bold new direction. I haven't watched WWE in decades. Have found myself drawn in over the past few months due to their incorporation of outside-the-ring talent who wind up being incredible talent in the ring. I'm not positive this is the direction they'll continue to go in, but if I'm them,... you don't distance yourself from this,... you lean in.

Almost 12 mins vid about the Rock cutting ties with Logan after the Japan incident. 12 MINS

@@adamcraig1468 He's like the white collar version of DSPGaming. Both of them loves hearing themselves talk.
Are we really sure The Rock actually personally asked to have Logan remove all their posts together, or did this publicist tell The Rock they should do so, he agreed and forgot about it because he’s probably got tons of other things and relationships to deal with and the publicist told Logan The Rock personally requested it when in actual fact it was the publicist’s idea the whole time.
The pain in his voice 😭😭
The way The Rock backed off when Joe Rogan was getting backlash shows you he's only interested in himself and will never extend his hand when you're being beat down.
He's all about his image. No longer electrifying if you ask me and good for Logan for not replying back.
Who gives a fuck. Joe backed off and apologized too. Why should someone else stand up for him when Joe didn't even stand up for himself

Conversation flows like honey when Lawrence isn't around
It’s not the Rock’s fault that’s the way he operates. It’s tough build up off damages to relationships. I’m absolutely confident that the Rock and Logan will see same face again and repair the relationship by relating to what they are now in their respective careers. It’s doesn’t have to go deep in how “never meet your heroes bc they’ll will disappoints you,” just enjoy the blessing, don’t underestimate the joys of the life has bring and let life be the most value-able and greatest teacher.
I think TG is absolutely right. The rock could make it up to Logan by setting up a feud between the two on WWE that would be an awesome sorry
Damn that sucks, I love both. I hope they can reconcile in the future

I'm sure the rock has no issue keeping in touch with some rapist producer though
The worlds famous man? What ? 😂😂
@@kikaGama98 if you google who the most famous person is it will bring up the Rock, idk if that’s true but google says so.
@@Prinze203 the rock isn't not even remotely close to cristiano lmao
Did people watch the video ? He says he understand it but he wanted to hear that from him not his team. And no I don’t support LP but I understand what he is saying. “ if you don’t like me at my lowest. Then you are not welcomed when I’m at the top”
You got no idea how important this footage might be in 30 to 50 years from now
This is like making a horrible mistake and then crying about the deserved consequences
@Moey habib what are you, 8?
did you even watch the video? he litteraly said he understands why the rock cut all ties with him, it hurt him since he looks up to him, but he understood why he did it, the one at fault was him in the first place. what's messed up is that now that logan is doing better and is successful, the rock suddenly reaches out to him acting like nothing ever happened between them.
Arnie was the OG of this "blueprint".
“This is one of the saddest moments in my life “ camera man zoomed straight to his face 😂 I’m sorry
Like another comment on here said, the cherry on top was when the rock reached out to Logan Paul long after the Japan incident and Logan had already fought ksi and Mayweather and had partnership with a juice brand.
If this is a work to setup a match, it's genius for Logan
He didn’t call because he thought JP was a pos for doing that. It wasn’t just public. He didn’t want to be friends with someone like that.
The Rock was a multi-time WWE champion at Logan's age.
You 100% right. He might’ve been referring to the age when the Japan incident occurred so like 22 years old
Any chance the publicist said “the rock wants to distance himself” but the rock didn’t even know?
When he sed the Japan situation. I knew instantly. I kind of understand y the rock didn't wanna associate with Logan.
Everyone is only looking after number 1 and rightly so. You have to look after number 1. That's the most important. However there is a classy way to do it and picking up the phone is an extremely underrated way of doing so, always pick-up the phone if you want to clear the air with someone.
I’m sure it was his publicist idea to protect the rock at all costs. Seems like Logan is holding a little bit of a personal grudge for his publicist’s decision.
Honestly, I wish the host would just shut up and let Logan talk 🤦
He didn't feel bad what he did in Japan only when the Rock unfriend him.
The Rock wants nothing to do with Logan yet quotes Andrew Tate verbatim lol
Dude, the statement that The Rock benefited from those viral videos is so incorrect, I can’t even. The Rock is the big name, he was doing this “kid” a favour.
Kevin Hart has also had his own controversies, which explains why he reacted the way he did.
But also, if you’re so hurt, just got an talk to him as there is “open communication.”
Amazing how wrong and assumptive each statement you made is. Did you just watch a different story? Half the explanation was about potentials of others intentions. You could even, you simply won't.
@@shanehutchinson186 He def did. The Rock only made videos with Logan for his Brand image!
The rock was basically trying to say hey we good now, but didn't actually say jt directly. Imo I agree that he should've done that directly
I think Logan has put this subject in his back pocket for long enough and released this revelation at the right time to gain further traction as marketing for his current products (Prime and 99 originals) .Given his involvement with the WWE Dwayne will reach out to him and they will create positive media together whilst solidifying Mr Pauls brand into the mainstream even further. Hungover and hurt my ass, he's just a genius marketer. This is the reason I like Logan Paul.
This guy gets it ^
You may think u know but u don’t..but it’s okay a lot of people make fake scenarios in their mind to seem to like someone
@@CorneliusEdwardoWinstonThe2nd clearly know nothing about marketing
You agree ISH ISH? Mr Marketing PRO of u knew so much i don’t think you’d be here talking to me under a UA-cam video bud keep it movin
@@CorneliusEdwardoWinstonThe2nd you do realise its not just bums like you on the Internet. There's other people with jobs in all fields. Pipe down.
Could you turn up the mouth slurps and swallowing noises.. I can almost hear the conversation
I think its quite probable that the Rock simply forgot about asking to remove himself from Logan's life. Its clear that the relationship meant alot more to Logan, and the incident in Japan understandably consumed his entire life.
For the Rock meanwhile it was likely just a tuesday. He saw the news, asked to be removed and likely moved on with his life the second after making the call to his agent. He didn't carry it with him, and therefore 6 years later when he reaches out to Logan probably didn't think about that moment
he also underestimated how much of a shithead he was back then and thinking people actually like him for him rather than all the clout he had. Literally a spoiled white kid that was probably the antithesis of everything the rock worked for/struggled through but hey he's poppin off on social media so he probably had to entertain "this logan guy" for a bit. It's like a group project -- you just gotta deal with it till the term is done and then you can move on. The rock can charm you even if he doesn't like you - he's just that good.
Best thing logan can do is keep doing big things like he’s doing now. He’s apart of wwe, fought floyd, working with ksi, prime deals. He’ll be so big the rock would have to notice him again, just continue to ignore him
Would be very curious as to what Dwayne said to him after all this seeing how he hurt Logan. He seems like a nice guy so I would think this might make him think
A mans man.. Been following this man since he was doing splits for the vine 😂😂.. He should break out the old college clothes and bang out a few splits for youtube shorts just cause he can ✊🏼✊🏼
logan has a better character arc than most movies
Authentic vulnerable ego driven conversations. Fascinating.
Geordie knows how to dig...🙌🏽👊🏽
So he was upset that there was no communication from DJ about the incident, then when he finally hears from him he doesn't bother to communicate anything about how that made him feel? Really emotionally mature, champ.
The Rock cut someone else off recently for something that wasn't a huge deal, can't remember who but seems like he's more about his image and brand than any kind of loyalty. Oh well.
It’s really amazing how far Logan has come mentally from his earlier days. Respect to the man.
LOL it is called maturity, he was around 20, now he's 27.
This guys grown up a lot. Good for him.
