Paul Heyman?

Love him or hate him?

I think he is a wrestling genius. He may not be the best business wise, but the kowledge and passion for wrestling create storylines that are worth watching. WWE are missing a Heyman led show at the moment, in my opinion. Whether it be ECW or Smackdown, I think he should be given the reigns, a look back at the Super Six era of Smackdown in late 2002 will back my argument.

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

I could never understand why, when Smackdown was being presented as a different style of show to Raw and was quite frankly the better show, Vince dropped Heyman like a stone from his writing of the show to give him some rubbish executive role. Heyman has to be a hands on, day to day guy and Smackdown was the perfect type of show for him to create stars for the future. Sometimes WWE seems to cut off it's nose to spite it's face when it comes to Heyman (who is just about their best colour commentator too).

Good point witht he commentary Bulldog. JR and Heyman in 2001 were awesome, playign off one another whilst still providing an analysis of the match.

Mcmahons don't like competition, and that seems to be way with ideas as well, since most of Heymans make sense and are more compelling than Stephanies, he's gotta go, god forbid Smackdown outshine the HHH show.

He may be a wrestling genius, but he's not a great politician, which unfortunately, would help a lot when doing business backstage.

LOL.. WWE isn't going to sabotage SD! because of Triple H. RAW has always been the big show of the two because it's live and it's on Monday Night and that's not going to change.

As far as Heyman goes, the guy is a wrestling genius, but he likes things to be done his way. He can't work with a big group of people, a lot of which are hollywood writers and know nothing about wrestling like he does. Heyman needs to be in total control and go to work and WWE isn't going to just hand him over half of the company to run by himself. It wouldn't be a bad idea, but they aren't going to do it.

On screen, Heyman is a really good colour man with JR like stated earlier, but for some reason WWE likes Lawler. I'm not sure why. WWE should have at least let Heyman stay on as the SD! GM because Teddy Long is awful, but they didn't do that either.

The guy has value, WWE is retarded if they don't use him in some way.

i really like heyman. he doesn't BS the fans, he knows what they want and how to deliver it. what he said to edge at one night stand is a perfect example of that.

it's still real to me, dammit!

I hated him on commentary. But I do think he is brilliant, and very talented.

Heyman knows the business and knows how to book people correctly. Why they don't want to keep him around, is beyond me. It's better to have someone writing who knows wrestling than someone who has no clue about the business whatsover. When Heyman writes, the shows are entertaining. When he got kicked off, the shows... well, sucked. Best example of his creative genius and surprized they let him run with it was ECW: One Night Stand. From top to bottom it was an impressive show and will never be forgotten.

Thank you. I've been waiting for someone to say that. As GM, Teddy just grates on my nerves, ya feel? He needs to be a manager so that he only talks ocassionally, b'le dat.
