He’d be next to Vince on a wrestling Mt Rushmore. When it comes to outside the ring, only Vince played a bigger role in shaping wrestling. Paul realized before Vince that the campy days of 80s wrestling needed to be tossed in the trash. Paul allowing Austin to be himself and the freedom to break away from the Stunning Steve Austin gimmick is directly responsible for giving the wrestling world Stone Cold and everything that followed.

I've been a wrestling fan since the 80's and can honestly say there is no one in this industry more captivating (consistently) than Paul Heyman. His contributions can't be denied, and I can only hope that when that time comes and Vince is no longer able to do his job and someone else takes the helm of the WWE that their smart enough to make Heyman the #2. I think Triple H & Heyman together running the WWE would be amazing. Were in desperate need for a new regime change, and I can't wait.

Paul’s been really good at seeing a change is needed and identifying where to make those changes.

Speaking on the role of "The Manager" this is where Heyman is an innovator, constantly transforming his skillset into newer iterations. Stars come & go but a chameleon has never left. However, that aside, I think the "manager" role also exists in the form of when a wrestler takes a younger wrestler under their wing & one of the more exciting ones to emerge recently is the pairing of Jeff Hardy & Aaliyah, I think they have a really interesting buddy/buddy - brother/sister chemistry that would go on to spark great emotionally invested storylines of old. Controversy, adversity, redemption, loss, rise to stardom. It'd be really cool to keep developing that bond.
