Why does Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson dislike Logan Paul?

Logan Paul and The Rock

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Logan Paul used to be buddies a long time back, but things changed after some years. The Rock has made it clear that he does not appreciate Logan. While the exact reason behind their rift is unclear, several incidents seem to have caused Johnson to dislike Paul.

One of the reasons can be Logan’s trip to Japan in 2018 and his controversial video, which led to social media boycotting him. During his visit, he visited the Aokigahara forest, also known as the “suicide forest.” He made a vlog in that same forest showing the dead body of a hanging person. The video received significant backlash, with many people criticizing Paul for exploiting the tragedy for views and failing to show respect to the victim and their families.

The Rock has always been known for his electrifying personality, sheer determination, work ethic, and philanthropic efforts. He was probably ridiculed by Paul’s actions, which had a negative impact on people’s mental health. Moreover, The Rock personally suffered greatly from depression in his early years. He uses his social media to raise awareness about mental health care.

Another factor that may have contributed to the feud between Johnson and Paul is the latter’s controversial comments about wrestling. In one of the Impaulsive podcasts, Logan earlier in his career made a statement about wrestling being fake and stupid. This may be another reason why The Rock doesn’t like Logan Paul anymore.

If compared on the basis of in-ring performance, The Rock surely has an upper edge over Logan. The Rock has won multiple titles and awards during his time in WWE. Besides, the title, his rivalries, his electrifying persona, his in-ring action, and his one-liners help to add up to his success in WWE.

Whereas, Logan has not faced enough opponents to consider him to be one of the best. He surely has outperformed all the expectations in all of his matches, but still, he has to give more time.

Moreover, it’s a fact that professional wrestling isn’t the only parameter for success in the WWE industry. Both The Rock and Logan have ventured into acting and have had success in their respective careers. The Rock has become a Hollywood superstar, starring in numerous blockbuster films, while Logan has also made his mark in the film industry and has a massive following on social media.
