8. He Once Embarrassed Paul Heyman In Front Of The ECW Locker Room
Bad Breed were working regularly with Johnny Hotbody and Tony Stetson during early ECW shows. One night Paul Heyman came to them with a finish for their match, but Brian didn't care for it. Thats f*****g stupid! he exclaimed! Everyone in the locker room heard the conversation. Heyman went red in the face and growled, What are you talking about, Axl? Brian explained his point to which Heyman barked, Well, you come up with something better then! Brian did, but, inevitably, Heyman rejected it outright and made them do what he had originally asked for. Later on Heyman found Brian and berated him, yelling, You cannot embarrass me in my locker room like that! Brian believed he was punished for that and prevented from being allowed to progress up the card as a result of the incident.
