Pro-wrestling fans consider Paul Heyman as one of the most influential figures around the industry. He was the cornerstone of the ECW promotion. (Extreme Championship Wrestling) This particular company was famous among the fans with their hardcore style of wrestling all the way. Later, WWE took it over and inscribed it onto their main brand. He is also the person responsible for the rise of the beast incarnate, Brock Lesnar.
But we often hear the ECW chants all over the arena whenever Paul Heyman is inside the ring. No one can deny the contribution that he has in the career of Brock Lesnar. This man is the biggest box-office attraction on any given day in the WWE and even outside the company. His manager is the sole reason behind the legacy of the beast.
From the get-go of Lesnar’s career, Paul Heyman played the role of his manager. The stint is still going on for him in the WWE. Apart from him, he has taken a lot of talents under his wings to establish them as bigger names. Names like Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, Cesaro and more falls under this category. But no one could touch the level of the reigning Universal Champion.
Now we do know that Brock Lesnar might be leaving the WWE shortly. It leads us to the question what the future is going to be for Paul Heyman? Is he leaving the company when the Conqueror leaves? Or WWE can come up with another suitable role for him. Fightful.com provided an update on this.
According to the source, Paul Heyman is already working on a writer’s role in the backstage area. They mentioned a recent episode of Monday Night Raw where his name was on the writers’ list. Plus, the opening segment was his brain-child. Check out the updates (courtesy SportsKeeda.com),
“Heyman was in the list of writers that was part of writing the opening segment of this week’s RAW. According to the same report, his name was beside “Road”, which is a term used to describe a road writer. Fightful.com asked the WWE and Heyman for a comment, but both declined, and one source suggesting that it could have been an error.”
It is good for the WWE to keep such a legendary manager under their wings even if Lesnar departs the company soon. He can be a great asset for them when it comes to managing the backstage roles. The presence of the ‘advocate’ can be a helping hand to the emerging careers in the WWE like previous days.
