No need to watch the video or complain about it. He goes over reasons why not using him on another wrestler is a huge waste of his talent and what he can do. Since Brock is a part timer and likely will be stopping wrestling soon (I would say in the next 3 years or less), having Heyman pick up a new "guy" may be useful. Dude in the video suggest Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and a few others. He isn't talking about him dropping Brock, but merely picking up a second client.

What do you guys think? Should Paul have a new client? If yes, who should it be and why?

Linking a WC video on this site...



But honestly, if they would get a person they think has potential and not give up on it like Axel, Ryborg, or Cesaro, having Paul Heyman with someone can do wonders. There are also cases like Heidenreich...

It would be interesting but I feel like Heyman wouldnt wanna do it. He probably likes the easy part time schedule he gets with Brock

I am all for it, as it always seems weird to me that they use arguably the best talker in wrestling in such a limited capacity. I thoroughly enjoyed when he was managing Lesnar but also managing CM Punk through the heel end of his championship reign. I think the mistake after that was just the way they used him. It was one thing to have him managing Cesaro. But having him manage Curtis Axel and Ryback.... it did nothing for me.

Heyman could pick up another client but it would have to be a pretty high quality one. I wouldn't want him stuck with someone mediocre. The problem is that a lot of the better wrestlers out there right now really don't need him as a mouth piece. Kevin Owens definitely does not. AJ Styles definitely does not. Jericho, the Miz.... most of the top heels at the moment really don't need Heyman.

If Joe were to be called up, which is unlikely for a while since he is the champion, Heyman would be a good fit for Joe. Nakamura obviously needs to remain a face and he doesn't need a mouthpiece either. Sure, his attempts at English aren't that great, but it hardly matters. Shinsuke communicates better with his presence than almost anyone else in wrestling in my view. So perhaps Roman Reigns would be a good fit if he were to turn heel.

Now, I am not saying Heyman can't manage a face, but come on, Heyman is much better when he is behind a heel.

Apollo Crews? He was one of the guys who got bumped up to the main roster way too soon and Heyman could fix that.

Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing Heyman maybe doing something different and going for a Paul Heyman Girl? Bring Asuka up maybe? Or Natalya? Or even put Heyman with one of the cruiserweights like Nese or even Neville? I want to see Heyman do something different for a change because Samoa Joe would be compared too much Brock and Joe would be in Brock's shadow when Brock showed up. Joe doesn't need to talk. He should be a silent badass in my opinion. Heyman needs something different, not another powerhouse like Brock. Someone who wouldn't get overlooked when Brock showed up because that was the case with Cesaro when Wrestlemania 30 happened and Brock broke the streak, as soon as Cesaro became the client the night after. Heyman talked about Lesnar every promo after that and like Heyman has said himself that him being paired with Cesaro was just an excuse for Heyman to brag about Lesnar. That was it. It was pretty much a timing issue really. So because of that Lesnar hype, Cesaro hurt for it when Lesnar did show up and all of the spotlight was took away from the Swiss superman. That will happen again when Lesnar beats Goldberg at WM. (we all know it's happening) so we don't need someone like Samoa Joe because they will be brought down just like Cesaro, that's why we bring in someone different so Lesnar doesn't take all of the spotlight because their best thing is in different areas.

Quick message^ I'm digging this idea with Apollo. He can turn to the dark side by pairing with Hey man in a desperate attempt to revive his career... He's a jacked up behemoth that can do moonsaults but can't win matches, but him doing the bidding of the sadistic Heyman in exchange for his coaching and help climbing the ranks of the WWE

@The ReagMaster and @Snowman I fully agree with u guys Apollo Crews would be amazing! He I feel also would gain the most from Paul Heyman.
1.The guy needs a mouthpiece like Heyman.
2.He would need to be heel or it won't work at all.
3.Crews has all the talent Heyman would take him to the next level!

Also I can see Baron Corbin (Heel Monster with Heyman holding the leash)

Tony Nese-If this happens I want him out of the CWD.....He is that good....Really dude is a superior athlete!

Curtis Axel "2nd Run" (He has to be heel and this is sad to say but the only way I see him making it any farther in the WWE is by picking up "The Perfect Gimmick" (Which I think would be awesome!)

A girl would be nice tho Natalya or Asuka

I personally would like to see Pee Wee Heyman leave the WWE...and never comeback.

I don't like the guy and I never will.

The only thing he's ever done I enjoyed was crying like a little bitch after Goldberg
speared Bork La$er into oblivion.

Yes...I'm still on that train...and I'm never getting off it.

Oh...and Raven was from ECW right? So...I'll Thank him for that.

I don't like him as a person either but you have to give him credit, the dude knows how to really get under people's skin and that makes him a good heel and a good manager.

Sure, I'd be down for it. As long as it turned out to be better than when he was managing Axel, Ryback and Cesaro.

Roman Reigns would be a good fit if he turned heel. Apollo Crews, too!

No. No. And here is why:

WWE's booking would refuse whoever gets placed with Heyman to get over or be taken as a big deal. Because Heyman's character revolves around Lesnar. All he talks about is Lesnar. Lesnar this, Lesnar that. Whenever he is out with his new client he will still be mentioning and name dropping Brock, effectively cuckolding his new client. It happened to Ryback, it happened to Axel and it happened to Cesaro. It even happened a bit to Punk but Punk was already a big enough deal to be able to migitate some of it, but it still happened.

This happens because Vince sees Brock as such big of a deal, that there's no need to focus on any other client of Heyman's. Whoever gets put with Paul is just going to become another vehicle to shoe horn a part timer into the product.

For the sake of the roster working each and every show, I hope none of them gets put with Paul.

So I read this:

Since his return to WWE in 2012, Heyman has become synonymous with Brock Lesnar. Sure, WWE has tried pairing him with different guys like Cesaro, Curtis Axel, and Ryback, but none of the pairings have worked out quite as well. There is one guy though who Heyman believes could work as the next “Paul Heyman Guy,” and that’s current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

“The smartest play for Conor McGregor is to become the very first ‘Paul McHeyman Guy,'” said Heyman regarding McGregor possibly coming to WWE. “He’s gotta come here, because I’m not going to him.”

Didn't want to make a whole thread for it but ehhh... What are your thoughts on Paul bringing McGregor to WWE? (This was a rumor posts 5 days ago)

I wouldn't mind seeing McGregor come to wwe as a Heyman guy. If he could work well with the others and not think he's the only star (behind the scenes obviously lol) but he could have a great heel gimmick.

Pairing Heyman with ronda rousey too would be good if she were to leave the ufc (which I could see in the next couple years or so)

As for current roster, baron corbin came to mind right away.

Then I read roman reigns and thought yes! If he could be heel.... Jesus yes. Because we all know how bland reigns is on the mic for the most part. He sounds too rehearsed or scripted. Letting Heyman do the talking for a heel roman, while he just tears shit up would be perfect. They also need to make his matches a little more 'believable'. Not taking a billion huge hits and kicking out at 2 a hundred times. Then 1 spear or superman punch ends the match. It just seems so corny and forced.

Plus reigns wouldn't have the problem of being put in Lesnar's shadow when he does show up. Because let's face it, they're pushing this guy to the next solar system, whether we like it or not.

I would like to see Heyman on a weekly schedule though whoever they pair him with.

Please God No...

Oh God...I'm going to be sick!!! No...doesn't work...
Corbin is the Lone Wolf...so literally leave him on his own.

What about Braun Strowman? Heyman can manage him...
mainly because he bores me and I don't care what they
do with him.

:p
