13. Paul Heyman

Pros:

1. The best talker in WWE today

2. Is perfect at playing the chickens**t manager when necessary

3. Can sell anything, to anyone, by speaking with a passion unmatched by anyone in WWE

Cons:

1. Only appears when Brock Lesnar appears or when a Lesnar storyline demands it

2. Might not be with WWE forever

3. WWE aren’t capitalizing on his popularity and promo skill to get anyone else over as ‘new Paul Heyman guys/girls’

Paul Heyman is a legend on the microphone. He has a gift at speaking that makes him the perfect manager and mouthpiece for those who aren’t as good at promos. Here is but one example of his masterful work from earlier this year:

While WWE have tried to build other stars using Paul Heyman’s reputation in the past, those cases should not dissuade WWE from making as much use of Paul Heyman’s legitimacy and speaking skills to build new stars. There’s a long list of current WWE Superstars who’d benefit greatly from even being in the same camera shot as Heyman, and it’s unfortunate that WWE don’t use him as much as they can.

Heyman isn’t likely to be seen until Lesnar’s storyline requires it. Until then, we’ll have to wait patiently for him to deliver yet another astonishing promo.


Final Rating: ****
