Paul Heyman is the best talker in World Wrestling Entertainment right now. With all due respect to everybody else in the company, it's really not that close. You can make a case for guys like Bray Wyatt or maybe John Cena, but really Heyman is better than everybody else. When you hear Heyman speak, the one thing that's perfectly clear is that he would make an awesome promoter for a sport like boxing or UFC. You know how UFC has all kinds of press conferences to set up fights and then the weigh-ins before the fight. Dana White, the UFC President, is the guy that usually moderates those things. No offense to him, but Heyman would be the greatest person at doing that kind of thing. Another option for Heyman would be something like a daily radio show host or podcast host. The guy is so skilled at talking about anything that he would be compelling to listen to. He's told the story many times about how over 20 years ago before ECW started he was going to take a job as a radio show host in New York City and try to challenge Howard Stern. Instead, he ran ECW and never went that route. He might still want to do a job like that. What might keep Heyman in WWE for the long haul is he's a diehard wrestling fan that loves the business. He may want to keep being a part of wrestling for another twenty years as long as somebody keeps paying him.
