Heyman comments on Brock Lesnar's win

[The Rated R CMStar]

Paul Heyman has posted a new column at the UK Sun website with his thoughts about Brock Lesnar's dominating win over Frank Mimr at last weekend's UFC 100 Pay-Per-View. Heyman says while it's impressive that the former WWE superstar has reached the top of the MMA world, his success really has little to do with his pro wrestling past.

"I'm actually surprised at how many wrestlers think Brock's domination of Mir somehow makes pro wrestling more legitimate. It clearly doesn't," Heyman claims. Brock's victory in the Octagon is as much a vindication for pro wrestling or WWE as Jesse Ventura becoming governor of Minnesota is a sign that wrestlers should run for political office. One has nothing to do with the other .. It doesn't mean wrestlers are tough but it doesn't mean they're not, either — it means Brock is tough."

He added, "Wrestlers are to be admired for the risks they take and the extraordinary toll they exact on their bodies in order to entertain the audience. I have nothing but the most extreme admiration for the sacrifices they make. But Brock just happens to be a UFC champion who was a pro wrestler, not a typical pro wrestler who decided to teach the MMA world how tough pro wrestlers are."

Paul Heyman is always the voice of reason.

True.

What ever happened with him in the new ECW anyway?

He booked ECW December to Dismember...that's what.

I really doubt he really even booked it, I mean, they didn't give him control of the actual main event, I doubt he had any real control of the show.

If you've read Hardcore History it states that Vince booked all of D2D AND Heyman left shortly afterwards due to Vince taking creative control away from him.

I read somewhere that he left when Test was in the main event on ECW. He'd had enough or something..

Anybody know what he's up to these days?

^idk wat he's up to but it would kickass if he were to comback

Did anyone like him and JR as a commentary team? I really did. I wish he'd come back and do color commentary. We all know they'll never let the old ECW back on TV, but if he'd come back to at least do color commentary it'd be nice, IMO.
