3. Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman is one of the greatest minds in the history of professional wrestling. The man started as a ringside photographer and worked his way up to become the promoter of ECW; one of the most influential independent wrestling organisations ever. It was, in some ways, an insane take on the art form, but Heyman made it work. Heyman has also performed several other roles of the industry, for example in WWE, where he was the head writer for Smackdown from around July 2002 to October 2003, one of the most popular and gripping periods for the blue brand. He has called many a show from the commentary booth, and hes arguably most well-known for being one of the best managers in the game, having guided multiple big names to stardom, including CM Punk, The Big Show, RVD and, most famously of all, Brock Lesnar. Throw in the fact that Heyman can cut a promo unlike anyone else, and you have a man that was born to be a success come hell or high water. As a man with such a profound knowledge of the ins and outs of the business, to be able to read Paul Heymans stories, findings and opinions from such a lengthy career would be an absolute pleasure. He has a tremendous way with words, so you could expect it to be one of the WWEs most well-written books to date.
