Paul Heyman back in the WWE

[MinistryofDeath89]

I think the WWE should bring back Paul Heyman, and make him a part of the Creative Team on Raw. Paul Heyman has a wrestling mind he know's what's good for business and what right matches to start and to book for a PPV. If the WWE got Heyman back and put him as the Top guy of the creative Team he would make some great matches and he is a great motervator for the wrestlers. As we all know the WWE does the same thing all the time, the same storylines and the same stale rival's, but if they got heyman back he would know what to do with a storyline and make Raw edgy and exciting again. Yeah ok Raw is PG now but doesn't mean u still can't have a edgy and exciting Raw with a storyline which I know Paul Heyman would do. Yes I know Paul Heyam said he doesn't want to come back to wrestling at the moment but as the old saying goes MONEY TALK'S!!!!.

So give me your thought's . ??????

I wouldnt mind Heyman returning. He did a great job as smackdown GM several years ago. Im sure he could come up with decent storylines for the PG rating, but they of course would have to be approved by vince. And correct me if wrong, he has turned down heymans ideas a lot in WWE.

Sadly though, Heymans done with wrestling, he is to busy with his new UFC project.

Heyman already had a run in the WWE, and did just about everything a fellow like himself could do except wrestle on a regular basis. I don't think Paul is what WWE needs right now, because let's face it having more edge is a very, very, difficult thing to balance on a family-friendly television show. That and I doubt there will be much name recognition with WWE's target audience now if Paul Heyman turns out to ...ex. be the anonymous Raw GM. As far as creative flow, I think WWE is doing a hell of a job recently, so I wouldn't want another guy to tip their feet in that pool, especially when said feet is known for hardcore storylines.

Are you having a laugh or something have u seen how shit the WWE creative team is there not proper wrestling writer's there hollywood movie writer's who don't know jack shit about a good wrestling storyline, In my opinion WWE is crying out for a guy like Paul Heyman like what I said on my post he has a creative wrestling mind and know' s how to use it properly and he gives the fan's what they want, unlike Vince. Lets face it the only thing Vince cares about is his next pay check, So im sorry but your wrong about WWE not needing Pauly Heyman.

 

[givemetoro]

Um... did you forget that they recently took wrestling out of their name and company and don't allow the talent to refer to themselves as wrestlers? Complain all you want, but this is the direction the company is headed, having a "creative wrestle mind" on board would be somewgat counter productive.

Vince wants his product to be less old-school wrestling and more Hollywood entertainment though. So in that regard, the writers are doing a great job. I don't personally agree with it either, and I wish it were more like the old days as much as anyone else, but sadly its not our company, and its not gonna follow our vision.

 

[sTyLnK]

Heyman is way to honest and would end up saying things he isn't supposed to say and in the PG era of wrest....I mean entertainment it would probably not end up a good mix.

 

[Rock Bottom]

Heyman is without a doubt a creative genius. For those of us who are not big fans of the current product he would be great. However Heyman just wouldn't work in a PG enviroment. He is used to pushing the limits, and the WWE is just too conservative at the moment.

 

[Da Truth]

Heyman would be great back in the WWE; he's a genius where storylines are concerned. I remember how great of a product Smackdown was when he was on creative. It was a great wrestling show, but that's the problem Vince soesn't really want a wrestling show anymore. Plus, didn't he leave because Steph and Vince kept turning down or undermining his ideals? With Heyman Smackdown can turn into at least a B+ show.

 

[poppycock]

I actualy really like him and I would like to see Paul Heyman back in the WWE working as part of the creative team. He knows the business aswell as anybody and just having him chucking ideas about would no doubt spark good developments and improve the awful imagination/creative side of the WWE right now. The more they want to head in the "Hollywood entertainment" direction the less entertaining it becomes so I would not say the writers are doing a great job on an level (not for me personally anyhow). The WWE are no longer heading down the hardcore/edgy path so maybe this would work against him but I am sure he could come up with a lot better ideas for the "PG Era" than the lot we have now.. I am sure a lot of his ideas would be questioned/argued against and turned down by Vince but just having him as part of the team would improve things in my opinion.

 

[RatedFU]

The unsaid "W" word is no longer the majority-money-maker in WWE... Last WWE Financial support showed that the "W Word" shows fall just under half of the $$$ being made in total by WWE Inc. So No... Heyman would be could if WWE was a Wrasslin show, but it's not. Think of it more as a kid's comic book show. We've gotten back to the 80's style of wrestling. I like it. It's a family show now. Paul "E" was a great asset to the business during the sex-filled 90's to early 2000's. But that time has come and gone. Follw Me on Twitter @RatedFU

 

[WZ's Apprentice]

Could he do the job and make a difference? Of course he could, that doesn't mean i believe either side would be willing to make it happen. I don't know if his style of booking could clash well with PG but i am sure if anyone could make that adjustment he could. I really feel that that ship sailed a long time ago and wont be revisiting. More then likely Paul will want nothing to do with the current direction of their product.

 

[RD_21]

Since, it seems that either no one has any memory (and Vince would be right), all the persons in this topic who talked about it never watch WWE when Heyman was in it or just didn't say it I will.

When Smackdown! was the family friendly show and it was quickly becoming the A Show a couple of years ago, Heyman was booking it and was in charge. So the fact that it's PG is a non factor. Heyman may be known for ECW but he booked Smackdown! in a non edgy way so he can do it.

I think the WWE could use and need Heyman but Heyman don't need them anymore and I doubt he would come back except if he has total control and the salary he wants.

 

[Iversen]

Paul Heyman just wouldn't fit with the way WWE is going at the momoent. This is the guy that masterminded ECW do you think he could work/would want to work in the current WWE product? It's not his thing at all.

Plus by the sounds of things Pauls not exactly biting at the bit to get back into wrestling. TNA obviously made him an offer and he wanted full control. There's no chance in hell he'd get that in the WWE.

Just to add to the person saying SD! was PG when Heyman was booking. Yea it was but it was a lot edgier PG then the current way. WWE at the moment is incredibly PG where as then it was probably borderline not being so. Plus he did it by focusing on wrestling with Angle, Eddie etc another thing WWE is moving away from.

 

[BTLion1990]

Does he want to come back? Rumour has it that he clashed with Stephanie McMahon when he last worked there so many times. Heyman ran his own company, so to have his ideas shot down as part of the creative team may not take his fancy.

He's better as an on-screen personality like a manager in my opinion. Especially with WWE apparently wanting more managers and also the fact that Heymans ideas may not suit well with a PG WWE era.

 

[tripleddd]

i think they should have kept the new ECW and give Heyman complete control and they should of set the ecw product up against tna - big miss wwe and vince

 

[SinCityBlitz]

The only way Heyman comes back is if Vince and Stephanie go hands off and he gets complete control. So yeah, not happening.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Paul Heyman had an exceptional character during his run with the WWE, but he actually had something to do. Him coming back wouldn't make any sense. He is known for being the guy who ran ECW, and all of ECW's head guys are in TNA. Him returning wouldn't accomplish anything, and he'd be floating around various storylines, not really making an impact with anything he does. There's not enough room in the main event for him, either.

 

[poppycock]

I think Vince should have let Heyman run with new ECW also.

Giving him the creative freedom to make it edgy and more risque than Smackdown or Raw. Would it be possible to make Raw = Entertainment, Smackdown = Wrestling and ECW = Hardcore leaning towards Attitude Era.

That way everybody gets pleased. Also make drafts mean something and keep wrestlers suited to each show actually on each show.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I personally think the product would improve dramatically if Paul E was part of the creative team, it would be alot more to my tastes and Heyman is well known for having one of the best minds in the wrestling business. He is one of the most creative guys there is.

However, would he be able to adapt to working in the PG era WWE, when he made his name in an extremely violent, non-PC, foul mouthed wrestling company, and even in his WWE run was part of storylines that would not be written now?

I think he could, but I doubt Vince McMahon would take the risk of bringing him back. Heyman tends to ruffle feathers wherever he goes, and I dont think Vince would need the hassle. He wants a more "entertainment" product rather than wrestling now, and Heyman is all about the wrestling. Although I am not a huge fan of the writers at the moment, they seem to be doing what Vince wants, and he seems to be happy with it so I don't see Heyman returning any time soon.

I would much rather see him in TNA with no restrictions, trying to drag the company up to be a credible rival to WWE, focusing on the X-Division and helping to create new stars, so they no longer have to rely on old ex-ECW guys and WWE/WCW cast-offs and drug addicts.

 

[Odisho]

like some one said, vince needs to let paul heyman do what he wants, because i remember years ago, at december dismember the PPV, paul heyman wanted sabu in the extreme elemination chanmber, but vince didnt want sabu in it, and guess what, the match blowed, their were good spots with rvd,cm punk, and test, but sabu could have made that match much more extreme. so paul left.

 

[aliasv2]

Heyman would only come back if he was only allowed to use all of his ideas and not get them shot down. The man is a creative genius and the WWE is calling for him but he wont come back. Not with what he is doing in UFC now

 

[jacdnwarrior]

You can't blame Creative for what's going on right now. You have to blame Vince and who's advising him. Heyman was there before and did the best he could and when he left,( according to him in interviews), he had enough. He would give ideas to Vince and he would do some other stupid bullshit idea that made absolutely no sense. He was completely ready to leave. I think he might be a decent person to have on your creative team, but if you're going to treat your creative team the way Vince treats those people, it's best that you not waste your time and your creative team's time and let them go elsewhere for work. Heyman and Vince parted ways and I think it'll probably stay that way. You can call Vince a genius for what he's done in the past, he's earned because he's done some brilliant things back then. But what matters right now is what you do right now. He is the head of a corporation now. Shareholders care only about the bottom line and the value of their shares. They don't give two shits about the past they only care about the hear and now. The creative team is trying their hardest to come up with some good ideas only to be ignored in favour of Vince's stupid ones. Christian having a two day title reign. No IC or US title defence at WM. I honestly don't see any one with any good ideas working well with Vince.

I dont think bringing in Paul Heyman would solve any problems just add to existing ones. I liked ECW and look back on those days fondly, but this guy could barely sell 1,000 tickets to his own wrestling shows (and even if he did no one watched their TV or PPV). I'm sure McMahon cringes at the very thought of Paul Heyman calling any of the shots in his company.

Eric Bischoff said it best "Do I think Pauls so full of shit that he believes his own lies? Absolutely."
