Ating never signed with the mcmahons. He didn't trust them. Sting has never been in wwe because he couldn't stand the politics. He wants the platform of beating the guy who defines the company at the biggest show of them all, Taker. Heyman has managed the last two guys to try and end the streak, Heyman is a voice who has went against the system and mcmahons as an advocate of Brock and Punk. Heyman can cut a promo, like it or not Sting hasn't cut a meaningful promo in close to 20 years and he rambles when in frontnof a TNA crowd, so it could be bad on raw like how his character lost its mystique when he talked in WCW. I think Heyman could be used to introduce sting after Taker overcomes the odds and beats Brock; plus I don't see any Heyman guys on the roster or in NXT short of Punk returning

I'd like the Corey Graves suggestion, but man no one would shut up about Punk if he was paired with Heyman. Just because of the tattoos.

Yeah I don't want that for Graves. He should've debuted the night in Chicago ripping Punk by himself solo, but with Heyman he would be screwed

Strange how a Batista fan is knocking someone else's promo skills:bray:

Batista can talk, Mania presser latest example. Sting just rambles and still employs 80s style of delivery. Vast majority of the current WWE audience will not be familiar with Sting and not be nostalgic about like they are with Hogan. Because let's face facts, WWE did not inherit WCWs fan base.

I'd be okay with Graves. Heyman already has a tag team he should still be working with. RybAxel although not very popular could be a strong team if given the right talker and since they are basically Heyman guys, they have him. Never understood why they took Heyman away from Axel.

Face managers are just terrible.

What is this archaic term "Face" you are using?

Heyman wouldn't have to change anything about his delivery, and can basically play up a "heel" style promo going against the authority. I think the best way to explain it would be a Troll manager.

Keep it simple as to stay away from long-winded wall of texts, hence the archaic use of verbage.

If the manager is the guy getting over, why the fuck would the wrestler even be cheered? Also it doesn't make sense in in-ring psychology. Ther manager is the pest of the match, there to get more heat for the antagonist. A protaganist manager can't do nothing but be a cheerleader or risk getting his boy booed by the audienced, then everything is bass ackwards.

Look how inneffective Jimmy Hart was for Hogan. Teddy Long was a manager who WCW tried that face apporach with and his stable were nothing but jobbers.

Forget about Paul Bearer @deezy?




But that's not a Heyman role at all.




Almost guaranteed it's Bo Dallas. Keep his promos short, let Heyman do the bulk of the talking, and push the kid to the moon.

Paul Bearer turned with Taker, totally different circumstance. And what did he do after that? Hold up an urn. No more choking an opponent behind the refs back, no more shit talking the opponent while Taker had him on the ground,. He was just there.

Hell even Cornette couldn't draw managing the Rock and Roll Express against the Gangstas in Smoky Mountain. It just fucks up the dynamic.

And Bo Dallas? He'll get over with Bo-Lievers, dress him up like Bieber and have him act like an entitled asshole., he doesn't need Heyman imo.

Not gonna lie, I'd mark hardcore if this happened.

I agree with the suggestion of that they just need to give Heyman a stable to work with. Think that would be the best way for him to manage some young guys who need a mouthpiece if you just group some together for him to manage. Don't think it has to be someone already known for him to manage just someone who will actually feed off of Heyman the right way which I feel Axel really didn't.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Titus O'Neil get paired with Paul Heyman.

O'Neil is already entertaining on the mic IMO, just putting him with Heyman would be even more awesome.

Wouldn't mind Graves getting with Heyman only to have Punk make the completely obvious jokes like "I was more worried about you when i fought you in 2009 when we called you Jeff Hardy"is Jokes aside, Graves' talking isn't bad, actually. No real need for Heyman.

Throwing out a couple names I wouldn't mind seeing with Heyman, top guys I'd like to see are Dolph and Wade Barrett. It would give Dolph a legit way to take his character in a more serious direction. The guy is over as fuck anyway, and then you have him Serious the fuck up with Heyman's tutelage (or however you spell that lol), it works. Barrett is just a bit of a the "guy that can't break the glass ceiling" angle. I think Wade has really good storytelling ability, is pretty decent on the mic and has good ring psychology, especially in a great storyline (See: Nexus vs John Cena. Fuck the haters, it was gold.) I think between Wade and Paul, they could tell a great story.

Longshot, Oddball pick? Zack Ryder. He's all about getting "Serious" about himself now, and much like I said about Dolph, this would be an even BETTER opportunity to change up his gimmick.

Plot twist, its the Undertaker.

On a serious note, Titus would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind Ryder either. Really hoping for one of them.
