Paul Heyman as a manager Have your say
By: tnagirl Date: May 26, 2013, 3:16 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Paul Heyman has been in the wrestling business for a great
while. Since the late 1980's. He was a grand manager in his day
while in WCW where he managed future wrestling legends in Steve
Austin, the Undertaker back when he was "Mean Mark Callous",
Rick Rude, Bobby Eaton, ECT. And of course Paul Heyman made his
way to ECW (Eastern Championship Wrestling) and made that
eastern wrestling promotion EXTREME! Enter Paul E. Dangerously.
Where Paul E. took over as the head of ECW. But Paul was very
bad at managing money and that was a key thing in-where ECW
folded in 2001.
Later on that year Paul Heyman got a job in the WWF/E. And a
year later Paul Heyman introduced Brock Lesnar to the pro
wrestling world! But has been in & out for the last 12 years.
Now adays Paul Heyman is back managing in the WWE a group of
guys that go by the "Paul Heyman Guys". Which include Brock
Lesnar, CM Punk, and now "Curtis Axel". Some would include the
Big Show as a Paul Heyman guy but their no longer seen together
on WWE TV. We will see more Paul Heyman guys in the (near)
future. Paul Heyman is at the top of his class in managing WWE
superstars. He's number one right now in the E right above Zeb
Colter.
But where would you rate Paul Heyman as the greatest manager of
all-time in wrestling history with the history he's making right
now in the WWE with these new stars?
What do you all think of him?

He is one of the few wrestling genius' in the world. As a
promoter I would rank him with Vince, Baba and Inoki who are
world wide the guys who understood their key audience
demographics the best over the last 50 years. As a manager he is
still a productive talker and bump taker. The managers of today
can't outshine their talent like they did. It was fine for Jimmy
Hart, Bobby Heenan and co to be bigger than their talents, they
where enhancing guys who weren't great at talking, or where
smart enough like say Curt Hennig, to incorporate the manager
well into their act. Even further back, guys like The Grand
Wizard where the top heels in their territory. A case in point;
Bruno Sammartino couldn't rely on a long term top level heel to
work with, they would be in and gone within 6 months work their
way up flame out and go somewhere else. So the manager was the
top heel who would bring in guys for the top faces. To that end
Heyman's job is different to what it was when he first started.
Clearly Punk doesn't need the help when it comes to talking, to
extent neither does Lesnar, his physical presence is enough.
Heyman is smart enough to enhance both guys without stepping in
their toes. His most creative work will come in getting Curtis
Axel over, I imagine in the same way Bobby Heenan got over his
Dad. He doesn't need to control the wild man just enhance what
is already there.
