Logan Paul, a YouTuber who rose to fame in the WWE, is now well-known in the pro wrestling world. The Impaulsive podcast presenter is a social media sensation, boxer, and businessman. He is one of the most talked-about celebrities in recent memory, in large part due to his activity in so many different fields. Apart from his illustrious career, he has been a part of various controversies in his life.
Paul shared a video of himself discovering a body in the Aokigahara forest in Japan in 2017, which is referred to as the “suicide forest” due to the high number of suicides that occur there. In the video, Paul can be heard giggling in shock after realizing the body. At the time, it angered and offended viewers, as well as other vloggers.
During his Impaulsive Podcast with John Cena, Paul admitted that he regrets the acts of Japan to this day.

He also continued by stating that he had to ‘rewire’ his brain and backtrack everything he did, asking himself why he let that happen. Paul also accepted the fact that he did a lot of damage in the process, as he spoiled his relations with the Brahma Bull because of his horrendous act.
Dwayne Johnson’s mother’s past led him to cut all his ties with Logan Paul
Dwayne Johnson and Logan Paul collaborated on several videos together before Rock sidelined Paul from all his projects and ended their bond. The Rock had already spoken out about his mother’s attempted suicide when he was fifteen years old, so it’s clear that the Hollywood star related to Paul’s video. Furthermore, Logan talked about how he went on to hurt his idol in the process.

“DJ was one of the people I hurt because of his Mother’s experience…I hurt him so much so that he basically wanted nothing to do with me. Rightfully so, I let down my hero and he requested that I remove all the content we did together. Basically kicked me to the curb,” stated Paul. He further stated that he was devastated by letting his idol down.
Logan continued, saying, “Man it stung so bad…I think my ego told me that I’m gonna fuck*n remember that”. He further stated that Rock is now back in the WWE, and he fears what he’ll do if they ever cross paths.
The Rock is currently back in the WWE after his shocking return to the Stamford-based promotion on Day 1. He was also appointed as a member of the Board of Directors for TKO. With so much hype around his return, fans are waiting to see the Great One back in action.
