Paul Heyman's name has cropped up a few times on this list, mainly when explaining the importance of his roles in the original ECW and the careers of men like CM Punk. Undoubtedly, aside from helping others achieve their dreams, Heyman has fulfilled a few ambitions of his own.

In similar fashion to the CM Punk and Chris Jericho documentaries, Ladies And Gentlemen, My Name Is Paul Heyman is all the better for allowing Heyman the chance to talk directly.

As a former photographer, manager, announcer and creative team member, Paul Heyman has almost done everything in wrestling aside from actually pull on a pair of tights with any kind of regularity. His story is one worth listening to for anyone even slightly interested in entering the industry.
