Secondary Titles: Curtis Axel (2), Sabu (2)

World Tag Titles: Rose/Condrey (3), Eaton/Anderson (3), Zbyszko/Anderson (3), Team Angle (6)

World Titles: Sabu (5), Kurt Angle (5) CM Punk (5), Rob Van Dam (10), Big Show (10), Brock Lesnar (10)

Total Points: 67

Paul Heyman is the only manager on this list that's still active, so his place on it is provisional. As Paul E. Dangerously, Heyman led his charges to TV, US, and world tag team titles, but it was when he came to WWE that he had his greatest success. Channeling Sunny, Heyman managed three successive WWE champions, betraying Brock Lesnar to back Big Show, then Big Show to side with Kurt Angle. 

Later, when Rob Van Dam held the WWE and ECW titles simultaneously, Heyman would turn on Rob to give the latter championship to, naturally, Big Show. In recent years, he's been most visible as the driving forces behind CM Punk and Brock Lesnar's latter-day world title reigns.
