4 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 24)

2. WWE’s Paul Heyman Recap

WWE's video-editing department is really second to none. The men and women who work there need a raise for how much attention to detail they include in retrospective packages or hype vids. This week, they revisited the controversial career of one Paul Heyman.

It f*cking ruled.

Whomever decided to include some old WCW footage of Heyman as Paul E Dangerously, this fan salutes you. That sat neatly alongside the usual ECW and WWE stuff, and it helped put into perspective just how much Paul has done for pro wrestling over the decades he's been involved.

WWE are really pushing the idea that Heyman is on the outs after being fired by Roman Reigns too. It's compelling, and this video spanning the 1980s-2020s also almost put some unlikely sympathy on the man. That would've been unthinkable beforehand.

What a video.
