This is an obvious choice for the top spot because Lesnar is the ultimate "Paul Heyman Guy" that has been with Heyman since 2002 when Lesnar debuted on WWE TV. Even when Lesnar and Heyman were both out of WWE, they remained close friends. They wrote a book together too. Heyman was also involved with Lesnar during his UFC run. When Lesnar came back in 2012, Heyman wasn't there right away, but he showed up soon after. The ECW name that immediately comes to mind is Mike Awesome. He was a guy that was similar in size to Lesnar although Lesnar looks more impressive physically. The way Heyman booked Awesome was perfect because he was presented as this bigger guy that could destroy everybody in his path. It's a shame that the Awesome story couldn't be told the right way since he jumped to WCW for more money, but if it did he probably would have dropped the ECW Title to a smaller guy like Rob Van Dam and it would have been a great angle. Lesnar is booked strongly in WWE, but the fact that he has lost several matches in the last three years is wrong. Heyman wouldn't book him like that. He probably would have booked him to win every single matches leading up to that one loss at the end of a major storyline. Remember, WWE booked Lesnar to lose to John Cena in his first match back after eight years. It was ridiculous. Heyman would know better. It would be great to see Lesnar on a show booked like Heyman again like he was in 2002. It's probably not going to happen again, but Lesnar could do some great things with Heyman running the show ECW style.
