Logan Paul has no interest in getting cheered any time soon.

Paul hosted Joe Weller on his "Impaulsive" podcast this week and was asked about the notion of being a heel in WWE. The former WWE United States Champion made it very clear he has no intention of being a babyface for the foreseeable future in the company.

“Best thing ever," he said after being asked. "At first, it bothered me. I remember there’s a guy named Bruce Prichard—WWE executive, been around forever. Legend. He’s in every WWE documentary you’ve ever seen, always saying something about something.

“We went to Cleveland—I was in Cleveland, had a thing there—walked out, and everyone booed me. I went backstage to Bruce, and he was crying. I go, ‘Do they understand that I could get out of that ring and pull any single one of them out and beat the f****** s*** out of them? Anyone, of any age, gender, or form?’ I was pissed. It hurt my feelings to get booed in my hometown.”

Paul then noted how a comment from Prichard opened his mind to what it truly means to be an aggitator to a crowd in pro wrestling.

“Then he made a comment about Cleveland. He’s like, ‘Well, you know, it is Cleveland.’ Like—what? What is this place? That offended me. I was upset," he said. "And then something happened. A switch flipped. I realized how much power there was in being able to puppeteer the crowd, to really artfully manipulate their emotions. Or not, by the way, because it’s a dance."

The 29-year-old said he doesn't expect he'll be a good guy again, and really enjoys the ability to control the direction of the audience.

"Sometimes they’re [ __ ] with me, booing me out of the building, and it’s harder to get through my promos. Other times, I diss one of their favorite Superstars or the city in general, and I find so much pleasure in it," he said. "Truthfully, at this point, I can never imagine being a babyface. I have no interest. I am in my pocket out there at the moment. I love it."
