Talk:Paul Heyman

ECW

"An announcement was made on Sunday, April 24, 2006 that the WWE would be reviving ECW as a full time promotion. Rumors emerged that Heyman, along with Tommy Dreamer, would play major roles in the new ECW."

Could we please have a source for that?? Because I know one fact there is wrong, April 24th was a monday not a sunday. What else is wrong? Mathmo 11:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone remember "Paul Heyman Shuts Up"?

Does anyone remember when John Cena rubbed some soap on Heyman's mouth after beating Rhyno? Just wanting to know.--Ed-kipedia 19:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

LOL. Yeah, I do. I can't believe I am still nostalgic enough to remember it so fondly. That was probably around the time of the alliance and I still remember it vividly. Thanks. That was a nice moment to recall. Heyman always runs his mouth and I've never seen anyone give him that kind of treatment before. Someone should do it to Jeff Jarrett too.--Screwball23 ^talk 00:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

No it wasnt, John Cena wasnt even in the WWE in 2001. me > you 16:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Malik1

I didn't say 2001. By the way this is my new user page:--989 RVD formerly known as Ed-kipedia 03:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

It was late 2003 / early 2004 (2 years after the end of invasion). Cena was assisted by Chris Benoit, who had Heyman in the Sharpshooter while Cena made him eat soap. (Maybe it was after Heyman had made Benoit the #1 entrant of the Royal Rumble?)

Yeah, 2004 isn't too long ago, unless you have long term memory problems. Nostalgic would be remembering vividly of Paul Heyman smashing Jason Hervey the older brother from The Wonders Year across the back of the head with a Mobile Phone, those big late 80's model after calling Missy Hyatt a slut on a Clash Of Champions.

Height

He appears to be an inch taller then Rob Van Dam who is booked at 6 foot and according to most sources this is actually an accurate height for Van Dam so it looks like Van Dam is 6 foot legit. That puts Haymen at about 6 foot 1 so i entered that as his height....if anyone feels this is incorrect feel free to change it

Interview?

Ok, I know him, he lives a street down from me, and I was readin some stuff on this article, and I was thinking about how many things I could tell if were true or not, but since there is no original research, should I do an interview with him and put it somewhere else and then put the info siting it to my interview?

Anyways here's some info I know:

He does have "Pauly" written on the back of his car He has two step children He technicly lives in Greenville, Westchester County, New York. His mail adress is Scarsdale though. Grew up in Greenville Went to Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School -PokeOnic (talk), 00:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

That would be neat, if you and Paul are both into doing it.

Also, just an idea.. I don't really follow the wrestling stuff online, but I do know there are lots of wrestling sites and zines out there. If you're into getting such an interview published you might like to check them out, I'm sure one or another of them would really like to feature an interview with Paul Heyman.

Heidenreigh

Wasn't Heyman part of a handicap casket match with Heidenreigh against Undertaker? 211.28.125.161 21:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

He was a manager.

Actually, he was a participant, as it was a handicap match. He was the one that got closed in the casket, after Heidenreich "freaked out" (he was supposed to be afraid of small places), tagged him in and run through the crowd. This was all part of the build-up of Taker vs. Heidenreich casket match for RR2005

Vandilism

This article was vandilized, and I fixed it originally said: "On October 31st Paul Heyman dressed as a gorrilla and had sex with another gorrilla under the ring while RVD pinned The Big Show for the fourth time."

This article seems to have been repeatedly targeted for vandalism today, and honestly I would recommend temporarily locking it. 20:42 EST, 12/5/06 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beansy (talk • contribs) 01:43, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

LOL "sex with a gorilla"?--989 RVD 00:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Sabu or RVD?

Wasen't it Rob van dam vs paul heyman?

No, It was Sabu, if referring to the tag team match, then yeah.

TNA

Is Heyman going to TNA or not? I read on here that he had signed with TNA on December 5 but it was removed the same day.

It's too early to say. I read that he's still under contract to WWE. They may release him or keep him on like they did with Bischoff, thereby preventing him going to TNA.84.12.47.154 09:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Whats this American wrestling association thing I thougt that was gone. Read the main article at the bottom if you don't know what I mean.

Heyman IS Dismissed

Heyman has been dismissed from his role as head of ECW Creative. Not known whether he's been released from WWE. Kayfabe is poor PPV. Truth is conflicts of interest with Vince.

Legit Dismissal

Well, I hope Heyman's dismissal was legit. Man, I hate that guy ever since the "new" ECW was a wreck.--989 RVD 00:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Man its Vince McMahon who screwed ECW up with his so called "new vision of ECW". Don't hate Paul Heyman for what Vince is doing. Vince has said before that he doesn't like hardcore wrestling thats partly why the hardcore championship was retired. If it wasn't for Paul the good hardcore mathces like the Sabu vs. RVD ladder match would have never happened. The good hardcore mathces that did happen was all Paul Heyman. Besides, everybody is whining because the originals arn't used as much and its not as hardcore, well thats because they do a show almost every day of the week where as the original ECW only did on a week and they had more time to heal, besides the originals are getting some age on them and the hardcore lifestyle has been hard on them. Look at the ages wreslers die, they are young because all of the straing on their bodys. I like the new ECW. I was a die-hard fan of the original ECW and I understand the reason for the changes in the new ECW. To me ECW will die because Vince McMahon will screw it up and, Paul Heyman is ECW without him it will die again!

• Good, ECW isnt and never will be what it once was and before you go on trashing Vince McMahon's booking ability, if McMahon was so crap, then why did he stay in business and Heyman was the first of the big 3 out of business?

Well since Vince got everything including the WWE on a silver platter from his daddy of course he had more money. Paul Heyman a middle class man took all he had and bought ECW and put it on the map. If he would have got everything from his daddy like Vince he would have put Mcmahon out of business. He didn't have the money Vince had to take it all over the World. But whens the last time the World Heavyweight title or the WWE title had been defended in anoher country? Tell me that genius. Vince is nothing but a steroid swallowing loser. That explains why he got sued by MALE wrestlers for sexual harrasement. By looking at the oily beefed up guys in WWE its no secret he is gay. Does Tommy Dreamer or Balls Mahoney have a six-pack and grease up before the match. No. Paul Heyman bought ECW for the fans to turn it into something. He is and always will be a better booker than Vince. Thats why he won most of the top wrestling magazines booker of the year award in the 90's. Oh by the way what day did you join the "Mr. Mcmahon" Kiss my Ass Club?

I find it a bit odd that some one who is complaining about ECW Booking now adays, and saying it will never be the same it once was is sticking up for Vince McMahon, seeing as how The Nu ECW is basically just the rehashed WWF Attitude crap. Second just because Vince is still in business, doesn't mean his booking is good. Paul Heyman went out of business because he sucked as a Business Man, plain and simple, Paul could book a Turd Vs A Beer Fart and sell it, but he couldn't balance a check book to save his life. WCW went out of business because one, Vince Russo booking style mirrored that of a child with ADD, and most of the booking leading up to Russo jumping over to WCW was based on Ego. Had WCW actually turned a profit, or had Jamie Kellner never even been brought on by Time Warner, WCW Future might have been different, WCW was in trouble but could have been saved. Vince only survived because of misteps and luck, not because he is a great booker. He was lucky that Verne Gagne was a dick towards Hogan, and Bishoff was a dick towards Austin. He was lucky that The Blue Chipper became a Cocky Jive Talking Bad Ass when people spitted on Rocky Maivia. Vince was lucky people were growing tired of the two dimensional nWo. The only thing I give Vince is that he knows when to cut his losses (I.E WBF, XFL, and WCW.) other then that Vince McMahon is were he is based on simple luck. Had Vince McMahon been this Great Booker, he would have actually turned WCW around when he bought the damn company. The only positive thing to come out of Vince buying WCW, that benefited Vince was that he aquired WCW archived footage, which he might actually be able to make his money back he spent on WCW in the first place.
