Paul Heyman has had one hell of an interesting career in the pro wrestling industry. A lot of that career was documented in the excellent WWE-produced documentary, 'My Name Is Paul Heyman'. For the man himself, looking back on his various stints in World Wrestling Entertainment reveals some very fond memories.

During a short video on WWE's YouTube account this week, Heyman revealed his absolute favourite moment. Also on the list were incredible moments such as Brock Lesnar defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, and Lesar demolishing John Cena at SummerSlam 2014, but neither of those took top spot. According to Paul Heyman, his favourite time spent under the WWE banner was a little more retro in feel.

In 2005, WWE agreed to produce a Pay-Per-View called 'One Night Stand'. The show would be ECW branded, and Heyman was put in charge of the booking. It's no surprise then that the event was faithful to the original ECW product, and it remains the best tribute show to the hardcore promotion ever. For Heyman, that was the high point of his WWE career, convincing Vince McMahon to let him re-air Extreme Championship Wrestling.
