I love when Paul pulls up. He’s the actual goat not just using that word.
Paulie loves a good hooker
He really is a goat.
Taker. Stone cold, BROCK, Punk… REigns. Just to name a few he was responsible for helping out career or least had a shared history
@@cosmicgalaxy101 heyman loves hookers
I agree... he's managed so many top talent for a very long time, and still going strong with no signs of stopping
I love how much of a perfectionist Paul is about his craft, that's why he's the best in the business. Man doesn't even break kayfabe in interviews.
I love it, I feel like the pipe bomb made everyone feel like Kayfabe was dead and that their characters had to be ultra real and not to commit to their characters outside of the ring.
I think it’s part of why brock is so over. You only ever see him in character.
This geezer is a legend , always on the sell ,always ahead of the curve 👊
Paul is so well spoken it’s crazy. Such a brilliant mind
Lmao love how Ariel interview in character 😂😂😂
Bro Paul can go into character so fast and switch it all up 😂 bros character is fr goated
Paul and heelwani always have the best convos. Just funny without even trying
Gotta love Paul!
Could listen to the guy talk all day.
I can listen to you guys talk all day.
Brock and Kurt with the friendly competitions, the milk, press-ups etc was gold.
I could listen to Paul all day.
Paul Heyman is a legendary promoter but it does get tiring and disappointing how every interview he has to stay in character and you never get to hear his actual thoughts on anything, I would love to know how he ACTUALLY feels about things, not just what the Paul Heyman character is promoting at the moment
That’s wrestling dude
I feeling like he is telling the truth, it’s just the way he says it is overtuned. By I rather listen to this Paul heymen regardless
Lol he learned to keep a lot of things to himself after he was gone from WWE for like 6 years because of telling Vince and everyone else exactly what he thought 😂
@@Alabamerhammer ong
This is him being himself really. He knows not to tell you the truth or what you want to know for business purposes. Don't forget how much of a lying snake Paul is, just look back to all the stories about him in ECW dodging payments and convincing people to hardcore wrestle. Don't get me wrong, he's the most entertaining lying snake I've ever seen, and it goes to show how good he is at his job, but the Paul Heyman on TV is practically the Paul Heyman in real life, he ain't playing no character. His father was an attorney, being good at lying is in the family.
Paul Heyman is awesome. I have so much respect for him when it comes to his wrestling knowledge and work. I hope he stays in wrestling for as long as he is able too.
Always love to see heyman on here
Pauly dangerously is just one of the best guest ever
Can we start a petition for Paul Giamatti to play Paul Heyman in a movie?
No.
YES
Is it just me or did Paul start building on the Rock vs Roman idea? He started throwing shots at Dwayne low-key 😂
Paul is the goat 🐐
At the end of every Paul Heyman interview, you realize that he has said nothing. Nothing.
Yet you want to listen to him for another 30 mins.
Paul is amazing, I love all his promos
ecw paul heyman will always be my fav as a child. i don’t watch wwe anymore but respect regardless
These 2 have interesting chemistry
Two intelligent Jews in a room is equivalent to twenty common men
Paul wanted to stay on and Ariel is "sorry but naw" lol. Ariel is low key boss
Liked the Scottish way of putting that.
11:08 he’s talking about MJF
"Say something stupid, Paul!" was also a bit of his fun side coming through
ARIEL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! Paul offered to stay on longer and "you had to go"... like... wait, WHAT!?
The movie bit could be the perfect build up to see whose movie is better then they would bring it to the ring.
I believe the MJF is the only only wrestler who could probably out do Paul heyman on the mic 🎤
@Joshua Webster MJF outdid Punk on the mic pretty easily
@Joshua Webster nope
@Joshua Webster If we talk about that huge promo they had, the guy in the comments is not wrong. I mean besides the "less famous miz" what other did cm punk say to mjf? Mjf mentioned a lot of personal stuff and he made punk look kinda weak. Mjf mocked and disrespected punks ufc career, he talked about punk's wwe career by indirectly mentioning hunter and cena, and he even called punk "pg punk" because of how soft and old his become, and that "pg" reference was a jab at wwe and John cena. If you ask me that promo battle was very close but mjf takes the W on that. What he said and the way he said those things was above punk
Who better on the mic than MJF or on his levels don't get me wrong I'm a PAUL HAYMAN GUY AND HE IS THE BEST TALKER IN THE WWE FOR SURE BUT WHO IS ON HIS LEVEL.... MJF AND PAUL PROMO WOULD BE Crazy 🔥🔥
I was watching wrestling when Brock first came on the scene when I was a kid and he was an absolute animal when he was young. Here comes the pain was my favorite video game. His matches with Big Show and Kurt angle were legendary. He was the next big thing. Crazy when he went into MMA and now that he’s back it’s interesting
Doing the announcement in 2011 wasn’t bad at the time because a few months later CM Punk shook up the future of the championship for the rest of the year anyway.
i loved Boombox MITB Brock
Mr. Paul Heyman I have so much respect for you and the bloodline and Roman reigns you’re doing an excellent job
Nice interview .
MJF and Paul could teach Colby how to do an nterview in character better. There are levels to this.
Paul, talking about title belts " Those who walk around with them, should be forced to defend them " . Amen ! Preach it, Paul ! I've been saying it for over 15 years.
I just wish you had said that to Lesnar everytime he took the world title and then refused to even come to weekly shows and PPVs for months, these past 8 years. Like from mid-2017 to late 2018, when the IC Championship kinda became the new world title because Brock had been world champion since April 2017 and was only doing like 2 matchs a year. So the only solo title for the guys on Raw was the IC title, that moment when Reigns and Rollins, 2 guys who were supposed to be in the world title picture at the time, were forced to go after the IC title because the Raw's world title ( Universal Championship ) had apparently been removed from the WWE considering Lesnar was never coming to defend it...
IMO, every championships should be defended in every PPVs.
When someone becomes the champion, it means the, now, previous champion came to defend the title and gave the, now, new champion an opportunity to win it. As such, part of becoming the champion also implies an obligation to give someone an opportunity to win that belt, by defending it.
When a champion doesn't defend his/her title for 30 days straight, he/she should be automatically stripped of his/her championship belt on day 31, the belt would become Vacant, and we'd have 2 people fight to win it ( of course, the champion who has just been stripped of it, couldn't be one of the participants in that match, if they wanted it so bad, they should have been defending it ) . When a champion doesn't defend his/her belt for months, it means every other Superstars are fighting for nothing. Cause at the end of the day, every wrestler's dream is to become a champion. When the champion doesn't defend it for months, it's months without any opportunity for anyone for a chance to become the champion. That shouldn't happen. That shouldn't be allowed to happen. Especially now that they are unifying the belts again. Less belts means less opportunities for everybody else to become a challenger. So if the champions never defend their belts, it makes things even worst.
Being the world champion means being the face of the show. Or should I say, the face of the WWE now that there's only 1 world title. Being the face of the WWE should automatically imply an obligation to be there every single week. And defend the title at every PPV. I might never have liked Roman, and probably never will, but at least, as a champion, unlike Lesnar he's there every week. For that reason, I have no problem to have him as the world champion. He fulfills his duties of what being a world champion should imply. I might not like him, but at least I respect him for that.
Ladies and gentlemen… my name is Paul Heyman….
I remember when Brock lesnar debuted in WWE and I laughed when he was supposed to beat stone cold. I remember thinking he’s not going to last long. Boy was I wrong
@@myreflexquickasf3786 he was supposed to beat stone cold on raw clean
Austin was scared so he left early didn’t wanna get buried lol. It’s so Obvious. Austin has publicly stated he regrets not working with Lesnar. He didn’t state regret for not putting Lesnar over but it’s plain to see that Austin was in a bad place during 2002 and he didn’t want to suck up to Vince’s ideals.
He dodged a train. It worked out for the better because Austin returned a year later and had his final match with the rock. If he had jobbed to Lesnar in 02 then put rock over at mania 19 it wouldn’t have the same effect as it did in this time. His retirement was endearing. He left in the best way for his character- with dignity. And you wonder why Lesnar went over rock, flair, hogan, taker, angle but never Austin.
Actually, technically you were right, he didn't last long. He just came back years later after he succeeded in MMA.
You’re definitely in the minority with this take. He looked like a star the moment he arrived on TV
Paul may be the only one from WWE that doesn't break his character even in normal interviews like this. I am starting to think he doesn't break character even in his daily life.
dude can tell his real thoughts in character
Damn Paul is Bobby Heenan level! Constant professional.
Such a Brilliant mind heyman.
I just saw the Adelaide Crows jersey sitting on Areils desk. 😅
paul heyman is goat.
Reminds me of Raymond Reddington.
HAPPY 57TH BIRTHDAY PAUL HEYMAN !!!
Paul goes heel surprise. Lol was a funny show thanks.
The amount of work that goes into making things up is quite something. Who knew fake took more work than real.
Th best duo!!!!
Paul Heyman is the only non-wrestler who is very much deserving to be in the Hall of Fame
Their chemistry is so weird (in a good way) and I get the sense they're good friends haha
Paul heyman could take over. From Vince McMahon
Mjf vs paul heyman,mic battle who would win
The people that dislike WWE would've been extremely repulsed from interview.
Unfortunately, Paul will never align himself with MJF on camera because Paul only works with main eventers now. They realized it was a mistake to align him with Cesaro and Curtis Axel and Ryback. Paul will only work with the top guys and Vince would NEVER see MJF as a main eventer due to his size, look and promo ability.
Actually paul worked with those guys as filler for while brock was gone (very few appearances in contract so they selected carefully) so they can still take momentum of killing the streak without brock being there.
Can you imagine if they ended taker streak and disappear from tv for 6 months? Lol
MJF has the best promo in the business
Mjf is a main eventer. Sure he's still very young, and he'll get in better shape, but he look is awesome, and he's the best promo guy In all wrestling
Greatness
Wwe future heel faction MJF, colby covington and tyson fury with heyman as manager
🤞🏽
Who's mjf
@@hammadalam75 just know he's better than you.
I find it funny people think mjf would come to the wwe.
MJF isn't exactly pg. And i don't think he'd stop his freedom to cut whatever he wants on the mic on aew just so he can go to wwe interrupt cody just call him a nincompoop or a suffering soccotash and cut jack and the bean stalk promos
They cussing on WWE too bro
My Last Fantasy n Wrestling...Is Paul....Managing.....MJF.....My God How Great Would That Be....
The boss of WWE
If they do the Rock vs Reigns at Wrestlemania they should wait until the Royal Rumble to start feuding
Existential crisis in Pro wrestling bought Tribal Chief and selfie taking Brock Lesnar personas. Great talent always reinvent themselves when it gets tough. I am sure Brock would not play the amiable character he is playing now if it was not his need to squeeze big money out of WWE. As for Reigns, he got way too many chances to get his on screen persona click. It was now or never. Glad Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar could contribute in making him look the best he ever did.
Thats right the Samoans are Dominating Wrestling 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸!!!! HEAD OF THE TABLE BABYYY!!!
Yeah the small world of WWE only aew is world wide baby so talk to me when they rule the world don't get me wrong I love Roman
9:54
every time these guys talk it should be at least an hour long, and i dont even like wrestling lol
Ric Flair thinks Paul is cute when he brags about his promo skills, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
It's all about the money 💰
"Yeahhhhh"
I think WWE people know mjf is gonna come to Connecticut lol they all talk about it with a bit of a smirk
Why the actual fck is Paul Heyman not in Hollywood gangster movies?
Paul is kinda telegraphing the finish ...🤣😂🤣... not as bad as honeycomb did with Hogan in the Warrior for Wrestlemania 6 when I was a kid
Roman a better actor than Dwayne Johnson? Lmao Roman was only just recently able to cut a half decent promo but a better actor than one of the biggest Hollywood actors in the world? Lmao ok Paul 🤣
Brock at UFC 300!
Also Brock lesnars and Roman reigns this was literally the 10th time it's happened but ya this is the biggest one so pay that money...
Why does this feel AI made?
WWE NXT 2022 MJF WWE RAW 2022 WWE SmackDown 2022
Myself I’m tired of Roman and will be very glad when everyone else is so his push can go away. He can settle back into mid card where he belongs.
Shut up
Hell no brother, Roman is the man and will be the man for years to come he is a mega star
Reigns vs Rock doesn't need a title.
Cody cant go😮😮😮😮😮😮
Austin will open up a can of whoopass on Kevin owens, brock and ronda = not interested 😎
MJF is going to be the biggest heel star in wrestling. Hopefully he stays with AEW before WWE gives him BS scripted nonsense to say on the mic.
this isnt mma should be on oscar
Paul walress
I love the tribal chief but hulk vs rock was the biggest 🤣🤣🤣
MJF who?
Man I need some of Paul haymens weed, who's his guy? It must be that good good to say Roman is a better actor then rock. I've seen a potato emote better then roman resigns...
...
...
...
Then again Ive seen a potato emote better then the rock too
Both Jewish
oy vey
They all are, my friend!
Gettin cake like they Jewish
so?
those who walk around with them should be forced to defend them hahaha this DID NOT age well paul...
AEW is finished
Paul is a Freud
