10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 2)
4. Paul Heyman Helped Mr. Anderson Write His TNA Promos
Ken Anderson told Sean Waltman on the X-Pac 1, 2, 360 podcast that he was a little strapped for fresh ideas when he left WWE and debuted for TNA in 2010. After several scathing promos about Triple H, the McMahon family and the WWE system in general, Anderson needed some inspiration.
Enter Paul Heyman.
According to Anderson, he'd always been friendly with Heyman stretching back to his time in Ohio Valley Wrestling. There, the Mr. Kennedy character was a stand out, caught Heyman's eye and helped the pair become pals. That's why Anderson reached out to Paul for help when he suffered from temporary writer's block.
Heyman was happy to help, and so he emailed Anderson through some lines he could use on Impact. There's no word on whether or not the promo guru was responsible for any WWE-bashing.
