The Youtuber speaking to True Geordie podcast shared his thoughts :
“This was one of the saddest moments of my life, what I’m about to say. After Japan happened, obviously, found myself in a hole, rightfully so, that I had never been in before. Extremely low, mentally, and I got a call from my publicist who also repped Dwayne and she’s like, ‘Dwayne has asked that you remove every picture and video that you’ve done with him. Maybe in the future the relationship can be reconciled, but for now, he basically wants nothing to do with you.’ I also understood, I get it. I made a grotesque error and he has had things in his life that a lot of people, that incident, affected him in a personal way. I understood it and that was the other part. I was like, ‘Fuck.’ You sleep in the bed you make, right? I just wish I would have gotten a call or text. Something because I thought we had a healthy relationship, an open line of communication. I was so sad that my hero wanted nothing to do with me. I was sad because I understood it. I really fucked up.”
Logan Paul also went to say that he wanted to change and repair his relationship with the rock :
“I totally got where he was coming from. I was so disappointed in myself. Real disappointed in myself. I vowed to get better and vowed to change. Time passed, I start doing well. I just want to be able to build a relationship with Dwayne that didn’t end up happening.”
Logan Paul had shared a healthy relationship with the Rock before his controversy and also shared some details of the conversation the rock had with him before removing himself from any association with Paul :
“I’m still stuck on, ‘Hey bro, hey kid, I know we were cool, I don’t want fucking anything to do with you. Delete everything I’m in connected to you.’ I’m still stuck on that.”
During the same interview while discussing Logan Paul’s WWE debut at Wrestlemania and possibilities of him appearing in the company logan had this to say :
