Seriously. Look at it historically. When Heenan was a manager, he was almost always far more over than the guy he managed. Same with a guy like Jimmy Hart. Tell me you EVER have success as a god damn wrestling Mountie without Hart there. As much as I don't give a shit about Paul Heyman, without him Brock Lesnar is nothing but an Albert, a Nathan Jones, a Gene Snitsky, or a Mike Knox.* Don't even get me started on how many guys owed their own personal overage to fantastic commentators like Monsoon, Ventura, Heenan, etc. Is the Steve Austin package complete without JR's Oklahoma-gasms? I really don't think so.
*Forgot to add the asterisk explanation: I know that Lesnar has always had more talent in one testicle than the rest of those guys combined, but without Heyman as a mouthpiece, I don't see him EVER getting over. ESPECIALLY once he spoke.
