Yea dude this isn't a good take at all, clearly you know fuck all about wrestling, Jim Cornette shits over Heyman as a manager everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
@@b-rye223 That's not what I meant. Paul Heyman is a honest and fierce person. Rogan is pretentious and insincere. I think Heyman wouldn't stand for Rogan's shit
His Broadcasting back in the day was SO underrated, he had flawless psychology when drawing in the audience into the story-lines.. a true Cornerstone icon of Sports Entertainment in so many areas !! Actually he was part of the broadcast team during stint of "Two Man Power Trip" consisting of HHH & Stone Cold back in the day... That was killer, best heel combo EVER... too bad they only gave us a month of that... fk.
it's been said to death how smart Paul Heyman is his ability to exploit wrestlers strengths and hide their weakness's is that of a genius who else could have taken the sandman and new jack two guys that don't even know how to do a headlock and make them two of the biggest names in the history of ecw.
Thanks for uploading this interview. I've been meaning to watch the entire thing after seeing some segments uploaded by others. Heyman really does give some of the best interviews and is always a good listen.
This was an epic interview, Ariel. You are hot and cold as far as the things in which we agree, but it is always interesting, provocative and downright entertaining.
I've been a paul heyman fan since before CM punk made it a cool thing to be lol. This guy is so entertaining and intelligent. I love watching how he can get any emotions from the fans that he wants.
wwe has gotten better since heyman came back last yr. last yr 2012 as lesnar agent also punk manager in punk long wwe title run. also agent/manager for current ic champion curtis axel also lesnar. heyman creative genius. also great manager. manager of champions!
His description of Vince is the reason why(unless he's forced) Vince won't be the one to bring wrestling back to the forefront again, and that's assuming that it's even possible in an industry were everything has already been done before. He changed wrestling in the mid-80's into what he wanted it to be, and if not for WCW he would have never changed it again. The NWO angle in the late 90's forced him to change it. The guy is too stubborn and stuck in his ways.
@@Vickmeister Makes me feel old. I wish I had been wrong, but I've heard enough Vince stories from various wrestlers, managers etc. to pretty much know exactly the kind of guy he is. He's gotten even worse over the last 8 years, as he no longer cares at all who the fans want to see which didn't use to be the case. A guy can be really popular with the fans but not Vince's personal cup of tea, so they go nowhere and eventually get released. He's still making great profit for now, but few are happy working there and viewership keeps dropping more and more each year. Not a good sign.
Paul fought all the yards in ECW he dug up talent from here there and he couldn't pay them a lot of money and he was going up against two Titans in the sport Paul Heyman is a god when it comes to putting wrestling together and story lines and what not and I'm something caught my attention and I'm watching this for the very first time in 9 years I didn't even have a smartphone back then I'm an older but I watched the hell of a lot of the old ECW and it was just outstanding you know they had it all from a to z oh that's all the time I'm going to take up by I have a lonely life so I just babble on and on and on and on and on but Paul Heyman is my number one of wrestling
The interesting thing about Paul Heyman is that in WWE his character isa complete jerk and you can't help but hate him, but on the other hand, in reality he's a very smart and astute businessman and has a great mind. You've got to like and respect that.
tna should mix the veterans with new guys and build up the new stars and keep the old guys moving up the new talent paul heyman is very insitefull and interesting in the prowrestling world and in mma like hearing him talikng about it and listening to him you can actually learn something
It must have been interesting to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Vince Jr. negotiate..2 guys who are the unabashed, unchallenged rulers of their worlds..would like to have been as fly on the wall for that meeting, those 2 guys negotiating, surrounded by their "Yes Crews"
It's interesting that they talk about boxing and appeal as far as people wanting to see X vs. X when, in retrospect, we know we had Mayweather/Pacquaio break PPV records after this interview took place.
this was the height of the ufc fad among the general public with brock still around....wonder what heyman thinks now about the 'success' of the industry
I like that wwe doesn't try to beat ufc. I understand that they are competing for the same dollar. But there's room for both without the two inter mingling
Does anyone want to see Heyman and Cornette do a shoot interview together?, fuck if that happened it would be so goddamn funny seeing those two guys shoot together about wrestlers and the funny stuff that happened in their years in the wrestling business.
You mentioned has Vince ever brought up doing his version of ufc. Until Vince buys the ufc, he gave that idea up long ago in the Attitude Era with the Brawl For All. Its a mix between boxing and mma, comes across at first glance as boxing, but watch Bart Vs Godfather and you will see some very ufc/mma style take down attempts! After Bart knocked out every WWF superstar he fought, Vince was pissed, got butterbean to knock Bart out and threw away the whole concept.
dj boy Chill out? How was this comment taken as an angry rant?! I know long comments are a problem for people that cant read more than a sentence but that doesn't mean im pissed or frustrated. First lets start of with, i never said Vince was going to own, or planned on owning, or in the process of owning the UFC. The host of this show asked Paul "would Vince ever do his own version of the UFC". Vince already did that, long ago, in the 90s with Brawl for All which was very much an mma/boxing style. I liked it but the company hated it especially since Bart Gunn knocked out every wrestler he faced (including Godfather and Bradshaw). So they got Butterbean to knock Bart out ending his winning streak and the Brawl for All, all together. Since then Vince threw away the idea of ever copying the mma and wants nothing to do with real fighting.
So my point is not an angry rant, im perfectly fine and relaxed, all im saying is the only way Vince would do an MMA style event again would be if he were to buy out the UFC from White, otherwise there is no way after Brawl for All that he would do his own version of MMA.
Wished TNA wasn't stupid and set in their ways back then and would've brought Paul to run the company. Who knows things could've been a lot different 🤷
Heyman is a smart business mind. BUT, he is even better at playing the crowd. Unless an MMA production was going to let him go out and cut a promo, or introduce him into the fake promo's the UFC already runs, than his talents would be wasted. He is at home with sports entertainment.
Coming back to this stellar conversation after his stunning hall of Fame speech.
This guy just draws you in, he's a psychological genius. Best Talker Ever.
this aged like wine.
Thanks To Heyman we had ECW
The greatest manager of all time without question. Admire his work. Awesome interview
No Jim Cornette is followed by Bobby Heenan!! And it's not even close, without question.
Paul was a better advocate than manager
Yea dude this isn't a good take at all, clearly you know fuck all about wrestling, Jim Cornette shits over Heyman as a manager everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
@@Yamah12aAbsolutely, Jim Cornette taught Paul Heyman everything he knew as did Bobby Heenan Jim.
@@Yamah12a - Bobby follows no-one. There is The Brain..... And THEN there is everyone else.
Joe Rogan needs Paul on his podcast, that'd be amazing
I hope not. Paul is in his own league. Paul doesn't need that show.
@@AlbertV90 They're not even in the same industry? lmfao So why not have him on the podcast?
You wouldnt want to hear them talk shit?
@@b-rye223 That's not what I meant. Paul Heyman is a honest and fierce person. Rogan is pretentious and insincere. I think Heyman wouldn't stand for Rogan's shit
@@AlbertV90 Paul Heyman is a huge liar though lol

someone asked vince what he thought about paul, his response:
"clever" - Vince
"very clever?" - interviewer

Came back to watch this after seeing Heyman's 2nd MMA Hour appearance :)
Thank you for uploading this :)
Thanks for uploading this interview. I've been meaning to watch the entire thing after seeing some segments uploaded by others. Heyman really does give some of the best interviews and is always a good listen.
As bad as people think of Paul Heyman in wrestling, he was a genius player of the manager of the wrestler because he played it so well,..
Jesus the illiteracy in this sentence is shocking
This was an epic interview, Ariel. You are hot and cold as far as the things in which we agree, but it is always interesting, provocative and downright entertaining.
wwe should release a dvd on paul haymen, i would love to see that
👀
Thanks for uploading.
Im a paul heyman guy :)

You cant rule anything and be called Jr. by definition you're always lesser than
6:23 - 6:35
'FIGHTING!!'
everybody says, "YEAH FIGHTING!!'
Seen a clip of this floating around recently
Ariel looking like a chad and the machinist at the same time.
yeah that be awesome
Since 2001; like Paul Heyman said, Shane McMahon and Paul Heyman advised Vince McMahon to buy the UFC and TNA. But Vince McMahon refused
Hindsight is 20/20 though. At the time, who knew UFC would grow as big as it has?
FUNKY859 if he hadn't refused wwf/wwe would still possibly been fun to watch. It wouldn't even be a pg era anymore.
@@plushdogg124 Paul Heyman and Shane McMahon
not until 2023 i heard rumors
The MMA Hour sent me hear... I mean the last one, not this old one
Vince Mcmahon definitely lives in the wrestling bubble,
look at how IRRELEVANT the WWE product is in 2014.
And now look lol
@@VintageWrestlingFan Making almost 2 billion in tv revenue??
perfect example the bloodline and Cody Rhodes the good guy 20:35
Pual Heyman a genius for this
Strikeforce should have listen to this, before they closed down
It's interesting that they talk about boxing and appeal as far as people wanting to see X vs. X when, in retrospect, we know we had Mayweather/Pacquaio break PPV records after this interview took place.
Vince+Paul=Genius
Great interview. Paul knows his shit
japan brought MMA to wrestling Paul
Yup
LOL Grrrrrrrrrr I sneezed,There is no sneezing,Vince is funny and crazy.
i don´t like pro wrestling, but paul heyman is a genius
The wiseman
Who's impersonating me?
15:25 - 16:09 LOLLOLOL
niceeeee!!! I Really your channel
goddamn i would have loved to have seen kimbo vs lesnar
5:42
this was the height of the ufc fad among the general public with brock still around....wonder what heyman thinks now about the 'success' of the industry
when was this video actually aired or shooted?...please someone reply
+jishnu vjn This interview took place in August 2010, because they briefly talked about the horrible ECW revival TNA did that year.
+Partyboy22 at what part they mentioned that sir ?
It's mentioned in Part 2.
try Google bud
HAHAHA, you typed that nervously
Paul Heyman for president 2028
@hovercars1 lol true. Its for all the new WWE "superstars" they hold the main belt, lose, wash up, then fired
I am a Paul Heyman Guy
I like that wwe doesn't try to beat ufc. I understand that they are competing for the same dollar. But there's room for both without the two inter mingling
What was the original airdate of this interview?
aPeaTearGriffin saturday
Ariel looked like a crackhead 😂

18:28 Why do I feel this is Vince when he first heard about AEW
ECW！
Ryback couldn't wrestle out of his bed sheets
Wished TNA wasn't stupid and set in their ways back then and would've brought Paul to run the company. Who knows things could've been a lot different 🤷
so's big show......
535th like mine!
It's funny but I forgot how old this video is. Sheamus was considered a future top-guy back in 2010 and now he's as washed up as Al Snow.
Bart Gunn knocked bradshaw out cold in the first round. For a guy who i saw as tough, he stood no chance in the mma or boxing
Joey Styles him out the mans a puss
hey man, haha i see what you did there
Heyman is a smart business mind. BUT, he is even better at playing the crowd. Unless an MMA production was going to let him go out and cut a promo, or introduce him into the fake promo's the UFC already runs, than his talents would be wasted. He is at home with sports entertainment.
UFC is Sports Entertainment 👀👀👀
ECW ECW ECW ECW!!!
Ecw!Ecw!Ecw!
Haha swallowing your own words he's brocks manager now
and you *DO* realize he's not his *real-life* manager?
oh really i thought he was santa claus aswell
....
damn he looks awful
heyman has been boring forever ..since dangerous alliance some 25 years ago, to right place right time in ecw...
Heymen blows
