Paul Heyman is the most successful manager in WWE and perhaps even the best in pro wrestling history. His work with Brock Lesnar helped put The Beast Incarnate on the map and his faith in CM Punk helped create The Best in the World's WWE career. So when the opportunity came for WWE to capitalize on Heyman's ability and perhaps grow his legacy even more, fans were likely very ready to see it all unfold. That's when Michael McGillicutty was repackaged as Curtis Axel and introduced as the brand new Paul Heyman guy. It was a moment that promised to deliver for Heyman, a chance for him to give the rub to another young star that could use the help. And when Ryback joined the team, it seemed that the company was committed to perhaps building a modern day Dangerous Alliance. However, that was just not the case as both men eventually split from Paul. Even the addition of Cesaro later on did not make a difference; Heyman did not truly have enough of an opportunity to make an impact for him either. For whatever reason, WWE is not interested in building Paul Heyman as a brand by himself. The problem with this if it keeps continuing, fans may eventually begin to lose faith in Heyman. His entertainment value cannot be denied, as he is arguably the best man on the mic that the company has. However, if he can no longer make stars in the fans' eyes, then his star could begin to dim. Being a Heyman guy should not be a rest stop, it should be a destination. WWE may very well regret lessening the impact that Heyman can have on a Superstar's career.
