He literally gave the keys how to book 101. Money, business, keep coming back and paying to see the heel lose. Wanting to see the heel finally lose. It is beautiful. Everything about this interview was truth and honesty.
Paul’s mind for the business is just unparalleled. 14/15 mins of Paul is just not enough. This man is a walking wrestling encyclopedia. Great interview.
I have found myself going down a Paul Heyman rabbit hole. From his interview with WWE on Fox channel (out of character), or the Sports Illustrated channel and other channels. Those interviews are 30 mins-1hr long and even then they still feel short. He's a genius.
I freaking love Paul Heyman even though I haven't watched WWE since 2007 everytime I see something with this guy i watch he's a great character and storyteller wish he was around more back in the day
@@michaelbuettner1487 to not put Cody over at Wrestlemania...I agree with him, I think the "Cody's Dream" story has alot more in it than winning the Rumble and beating Roman first try
@@noodle845 precisely. I mean Cody came back, defeated Seth 3 times. Good injured, returned at rumble and that's it. This gives it more of a story than directly winning
Paul Heyman has been having so much fun. The fact he wanted a handshake says a lot about his character as a genuine human being. That was a fantastic interview!
Sadly Heyman was put in charge for a short stint, but this was when McMahon was still heavily running things, so it didn't really turn out too well and he was relegated to on-screen performer again. Once again, senile old man Vince not realizing he is the problem.
Paul Heyman is arguably the most important creative mind in pro wrestling history that isn't Vince McMahon. Every guy he's worked with or helped early on has changed the business forever in some form or another. Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, RVD, Big Show, Chris Jericho, and now Roman.
Paul flipping the switch into an actual wiseman from the bronx when he talking about Mcgregor is pure gold! I wouldnt fw Paul if he was talking like that to me. 🤣
Man I just love Paul. I sometimes have issues figuring out what is real and kayfabe with some of these interviews and Paul is one of the people that does well blending it.
I used to hate heyman when he first came to wwe (obviously we was doing a great job as a heel) but over time he's really grown on me , there's a reason they put him with every top guy / wwe champion , he's just gold and makes that champion that much more relevant
Triple H needs to be put Paul Heyman in the creative hot seat alongside him right now! Hunter is doing wonders right now but hey… adding this creative genius to the fold, the results would be unimaginable and pure brilliance!
There will never be another Paul Heyman. His ability to blend the two worlds of pro wrestling is unmatched and he has such a great understanding of the business. Also, the way he just completely devalued Conor at the end was hilarious but, realistically if Conor was to have another roid rage or whatever it is moment and did ever actually hurt Paul Heyman, forget Roman, Brock would kill him lol
Every time these two are in front of each other, it’s a face-off. They’re going to battle verbally. Ariel tries to hold his own and challenge Heyman because he loves the business and Heyman cruises. It’s so fun to watch
Yup. Whether someone's a fan of WWE or not, gotta give respect where it's due. Paul Heyman is one of the best managers & promoters to ever do it. Dude could sell ice to an Eskimo.
I just wanna say as a fan who is watching wwe since i was 10 dont destroy it. LET HHH CONTROL BOTH RAW AND SMACKDOWN .VINCE IS GOOD but his time is up .... last raw which was raw after mania it actually SUCKED BIG TIME
Been watching Paul Heyman work since ECW was born..dude is a pro wrestling genius..with HHH on creative that's the reason WWE been so good last few years
I still remember this interview, after I saw Cody lose to Roman and I thought how it was the wrong move. But listening to this again today just made me realise, how Heyman was 100% correct. Amazing. WM40. Cody finally will gotta win the WWE championship 💯🐐
Love Paul Heyman dude had a hand in creating some of the greatest stars in wrestling and the man is still on top of his game. Roman is a GOAT and at the top of the industry!!! And Paul Heyman is the reason he is.
haha oh man I love Paul Heyman, could listen to him talk for hours. Loved his take on Conor aswell "like a clown, he's here for my amusement" lmao priceless
I’d love one day just to sit with Paul and not even speak and just admire of what he has done in life for all the companies and who he is no talking no nothing just sit and id just admire his work and just like “omg it’s Paul Heymen”
Honestly hearing him explain why Cody didn’t win is making me believe wwe did the right thing by making him lose, because if Cody won, then what? What’s his story now ? He would be in a situation where he wouldn’t live up to the expectations because he got it too easy.
What Heyman said is true to an extent but diminishing returns are definitely kicking in. It feels like people aren't excited to see who beats Roman now it's almost getting to another "Anyone but Roman" situation at this point
The day Paul Heyman leaves WWE is the day the promotion plummets. Especially the on air material for example. Vince is forever in his debt to be honest... the perfect package. UFC is lucky to have Mr. Heyman now also.. believe that!
It could happen. Cornette doesn't hate Heyman. Cornette hates leaving home. The solution is finding someone that is in good terms with both of them and then bring them together for something. Where's Inside The Ropes? Kenny McIntosh could be able to pull this one.
He literally gave the keys how to book 101. Money, business, keep coming back and paying to see the heel lose. Wanting to see the heel finally lose. It is beautiful. Everything about this interview was truth and honesty.
Thank Triple H. Not Vince.
Completely changed the way I feel about Roman's entire current run and the whole WM match.
It’s Floyd Mayweather’s magic formula.. but Floyd fights for real
Except in the past they have buried guys after they haven't won. Roman, Brock rinse and repeat.
HHhH is super genius
Honestly could listen to Paul doing interviews all day and never be bored
Paul’s mind for the business is just unparalleled. 14/15 mins of Paul is just not enough. This man is a walking wrestling encyclopedia. Great interview.
I have found myself going down a Paul Heyman rabbit hole. From his interview with WWE on Fox channel (out of character), or the Sports Illustrated channel and other channels. Those interviews are 30 mins-1hr long and even then they still feel short. He's a genius.
So he's basically Jim Cornette?
I like how Paul just messes with Ariel, but still respects him. 😁
I freaking love Paul Heyman even though I haven't watched WWE since 2007 everytime I see something with this guy i watch he's a great character and storyteller wish he was around more back in the day
These past 8 months were the first time I kept up with the business since 2009
Haven’t watched since 2007? I’m thinking because of the Benoit tragedy or something else?
Paul Heyman is an absolute treasure. He just gets IT.
He also lied, robbed his performers of money, and almost caused Tommy dreamer to go off the deep end.
I do like his Wiseman character though
I love how Paul Heyman went straight into cutting a promo on McGregor after his insight on the WWE UFC merger LOL
Righttttt. Mann love this s***
Bet McGregor won't reply either. 😅
As per usual, Heyman hasn't missed a bit and STILL knows exactly what he's doing.
Man is speaking facts, I hate the decision but damn he is speaking facts.
What decision?
@@michaelbuettner1487 to not put Cody over at Wrestlemania...I agree with him, I think the "Cody's Dream" story has alot more in it than winning the Rumble and beating Roman first try
Paul Heyman stated nothing but facts throughout this whole video.
Bullshit. They buried Cody there’s no getting his steam bavk
The man was spittin’
Absolutely not
Lol him hitting lucky punch on Conor is a fact ? Lol
@@kratos8529 keyword here is Lucky
Paul has such an enriched mind and the way he promos, bro is f stars. Roman has the IT factor, best thing going on in the WWE by far
Yeah, it was a great match and I think the right outcome. There's still legs on this story. Why end the story now?
@@noodle845 precisely. I mean Cody came back, defeated Seth 3 times. Good injured, returned at rumble and that's it.
This gives it more of a story than directly winning
Paul Heyman has been having so much fun. The fact he wanted a handshake says a lot about his character as a genuine human being. That was a fantastic interview!
This man is brilliance personified. If he was in charge of WWE creative alongside Triple H I could only imagine how great the story telling would be.
Oh man it would be amazing!
Vince is going to ruin it all.
If Heyman and Cornette got to working together>
Theres a reason why the usos call him the OG ❤🐐
Sadly Heyman was put in charge for a short stint, but this was when McMahon was still heavily running things, so it didn't really turn out too well and he was relegated to on-screen performer again. Once again, senile old man Vince not realizing he is the problem.
*One of the greatest minds in the business. I hope he stays in WWE as long as possible.*
Ariel knew he had a good interview on his hands with that smile at the end .
Paul Heyman is arguably the most important creative mind in pro wrestling history that isn't Vince McMahon. Every guy he's worked with or helped early on has changed the business forever in some form or another. Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, RVD, Big Show, Chris Jericho, and now Roman.
I need a Paul Heyman podcast so bad, this man is a national treasure
This is Heyman at his best. He was in character yet being very real at the same time.
Guess who else is in god mode
*Paul Heyman*
Paul “Yes, My Tribal Chief” Heyman
The tribal chief is going no were
@@MikeDuggan-cl5hp so it seems
Heyman is a master of his craft. Brilliant.
A master of the double chin 😂
@@jaredboyd2957 Don't think he cares lol
Paul flipping the switch into an actual wiseman from the bronx when he talking about Mcgregor is pure gold! I wouldnt fw Paul if he was talking like that to me. 🤣
Paul Heyman bronx accent coming out at the end😂
greatest manager and promo genius of all times! pauly heyman legend! this mans gift of gab is incredible!
Heyman clowning Conner had me dying 😂😂😂 “ I like the little guy, he’s funny to me…like a clown…like a clown he’s here for my amusement”
Really went in with the Goodfellas reference. I think he was hoping Ariel would catch it.
@@Taimatotally went over Ariel’s head..😂
I could watch Paul Heyman talking about things for hours.
Absolutely one of the best promo cutters in the business. He's had one hell of a journey. Great interview.
The "Boston " in Paul really came to the surface when he was mentioning Conor McGregor.😂
Heyman is a genius. Plain and simple. One of the greatest wrestling personalities ever, and one of the brightest minds.
Man I just love Paul. I sometimes have issues figuring out what is real and kayfabe with some of these interviews and Paul is one of the people that does well blending it.
Paul Heyman is a True Gangster 💯💯 The Conor mcgregor part Proves it and he even broke down a Fit check 😂😂😮💨🔥🔥
I used to hate heyman when he first came to wwe (obviously we was doing a great job as a heel) but over time he's really grown on me , there's a reason they put him with every top guy / wwe champion , he's just gold and makes that champion that much more relevant
Paul heyman is the only person that still does kayfabe. A real legend
MJF??
@@gamingondeck5558 I don’t watch aew. Miz is better
@@TheGreatMan1999 MJF is better. Miz is gifted like dude is
@@sb-ns8bl nobody is a better at the heel role then the miz in my opinion
I can watch Paul Heyman interviews all day. The best to ever do it. Respect!
Heyman is the Alfred Hitchcock of WWE
Triple H needs to be put Paul Heyman in the creative hot seat alongside him right now! Hunter is doing wonders right now but hey… adding this creative genius to the fold, the results would be unimaginable and pure brilliance!
Heyman is sitting here telling yall how it works and how they think backstage. I hope yall are actually listening and digesting
I could listen to his stories all day
It's mesmerizing to listen to Heyman's interviews. He's still very much Wise Man through and through. One of the best minds in wrestling.
There will never be another Paul Heyman. His ability to blend the two worlds of pro wrestling is unmatched and he has such a great understanding of the business. Also, the way he just completely devalued Conor at the end was hilarious but, realistically if Conor was to have another roid rage or whatever it is moment and did ever actually hurt Paul Heyman, forget Roman, Brock would kill him lol
14:16 was the smoothest “We da ones” EVER 🤣
Every time these two are in front of each other, it’s a face-off. They’re going to battle verbally. Ariel tries to hold his own and challenge Heyman because he loves the business and Heyman cruises. It’s so fun to watch
MMA fan here and not really WWE one but hell, Paul Heyman is a special guy, always like to hear what he's got to say.
Yup. Whether someone's a fan of WWE or not, gotta give respect where it's due. Paul Heyman is one of the best managers & promoters to ever do it. Dude could sell ice to an Eskimo.
What a gem of a character Heyman is
I just wanna say as a fan who is watching wwe since i was 10 dont destroy it. LET HHH CONTROL BOTH RAW AND SMACKDOWN .VINCE IS GOOD but his time is up .... last raw which was raw after mania it actually SUCKED BIG TIME
Facts
Raw was great
Raw was decent 😂
Wow! So insightful. Hopefully this gets to the higher ups.
@@Евгеша-у1к It was one of the worst Raws in years and years. What part of it was even remotely watchable?
It's crazy that level of conversation skill that paul heyman displays here
Been watching Paul Heyman work since ECW was born..dude is a pro wrestling genius..with HHH on creative that's the reason WWE been so good last few years
I still remember this interview, after I saw Cody lose to Roman and I thought how it was the wrong move. But listening to this again today just made me realise, how Heyman was 100% correct. Amazing. WM40. Cody finally will gotta win the WWE championship 💯🐐
roman will win
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him. He lived in my hometown and would come to my restaurant he is such a nice guy. His wife Marla was a regular
Man…Heyman is the best, the mind of the business and the small details he times perfectly, nothing better
Love Paul Heyman dude had a hand in creating some of the greatest stars in wrestling and the man is still on top of his game. Roman is a GOAT and at the top of the industry!!! And Paul Heyman is the reason he is.
I also couldn't help but notice Heyman's suit. Really sharp!
Could listen to Paul Herman all day talking about wrestling.
haha oh man I love Paul Heyman, could listen to him talk for hours. Loved his take on Conor aswell "like a clown, he's here for my amusement" lmao priceless
Could just listen to Heyman all day, what a fella
I have been a Paul E. fan since time haha. Guy is an absolute legend. Love these conversations with Ariel, good stuff.
Perfect response to Conor McGregor, Heyman is a master at this.
Lovem or hate him, heyman is truly the best on the mic
Interviews,podcasts,promos doesn’t matter. He paints a picture better then bob ross
I love the shoot on Conor. Just a master at work. And the whole interview was alot of fun .
Heyman just gets IT. Roman is IT. The bloodline has IT and Ariel brings IT
He couldn't give it away, he couldn't sell it if he wanted to, baby
Oh god I think I’m gonna barf
I can hear Mr Paul speaking the whole day and I’ll never get tired
Paul heyman is really a nice guy. Wow. I loved this interview
This is a great interview
I could listen to Heyman interviews all day
🤣🤣 Conor and Paul Heyman trash talk gonna be too much entertaining . Not only me many people wants that 😍😍
Love how Heyman interviews Ariel on his own show.
I’d love one day just to sit with Paul and not even speak and just admire of what he has done in life for all the companies and who he is no talking no nothing just sit and id just admire his work and just like “omg it’s Paul Heymen”
Paul Heyman has come a long way man.
Shout outs to him.
Protect this man at all cost
Paul Heyman is a National Treasure ❤
Love paul heyman what a legend
Heyman "controlled" this interview from start to finish.
11:24 for the McGregor question
Paul Heyman just gets it.
Heyman needs to be Hall of Fame next year cause he was greatest talking mic ever 👏👏👏👏
So much respect for Paul 👏🏽
Can't wait to tune in again
Sad thing is most people will never know or understand what Paul has done for wrestling and what he means to the business
Paul saying we the ones cracked me up so much. He's the best!!
Honestly hearing him explain why Cody didn’t win is making me believe wwe did the right thing by making him lose, because if Cody won, then what? What’s his story now ? He would be in a situation where he wouldn’t live up to the expectations because he got it too easy.
So Roman should never lose basically
Yeah, I think Cody agrees too.
@@MrTambourineMan. yeahhh same way cm punk should have never lost the title too
What Heyman said is true to an extent but diminishing returns are definitely kicking in. It feels like people aren't excited to see who beats Roman now it's almost getting to another "Anyone but Roman" situation at this point
The only word that came to mind throughout this entire interview was... TRUTH
Great interview!
Paul went full Brooklyn when talking about Connor hahahahaha
The day Paul Heyman leaves WWE is the day the promotion plummets. Especially the on air material for example. Vince is forever in his debt to be honest... the perfect package. UFC is lucky to have Mr. Heyman now also.. believe that!
Heyman has so much better wrestling IQ than Vince it’s so crazy to me
My God I love Paul Haymen I could listen to him all day the stories I would love to listen to him tell he is the GOAT
Heyman is the best manager in the biz!
I will stop everything I’m doing to watch a Paul Heyman interview.
Absolute legend!!!! No-one touches Heyman on any level
His answer to WWE's buyout question is absolutely splendid.
We need a podcast of cornette and hey man… badddd!!! 2 legends!!!
It could happen. Cornette doesn't hate Heyman. Cornette hates leaving home.
The solution is finding someone that is in good terms with both of them and then bring them together for something. Where's Inside The Ropes? Kenny McIntosh could be able to pull this one.
I love seeing and listening to Paul at any interview.
Paul Heyman had always been nice to Ariel
Helwani always has the best questions
Hands down the best promoter of all time. I wish he was running WWE tbh
Here's a take that'll make friends Paul Heyman is just as important to the landscape of professional wrestling in the modern era if not more than VKM
I need more hours of heyman
Roman and Paul doing such a good job at blurring the lines between their tv characters and real life
Paul heyman is a genius a real entertainer i love this guy so much and never hate him ever😂❤
Ariel: Nobody saw the ending coming... Besides EVERYONE who watched knew how it would end 😂
Paul Heyman is a genius
