TNA Can't Handle Paul Freaking Heyman
Quote:
If TNA presented the 5th and final match between the MCMG and Beer Money the way that Heyman is talking about, I think the show would have been ten times better. As much as I'd love to see Heyman get his hands on, and actually control, an upstart promotion with so much incredible talent like TNA, he's absolutely right: they are not ready for his ideas. ![]() |

The thing that I always find amusing about this stuff is that Heyman's ideas are not ground breaking nor are they revolutionary. Basically his plan is to 1) highlight the positive attributes of the company, 2) get rid of boring/stale parts of the company, and 3) develop a long term goal and work toward that goal. That isn't revolutionary, that's common sense. And the fact that TNA doesn't understand this is just hilarious.

I love that Heyman even tells it as it is on the matter of the ECW stuff.

It's not that Heyman's ideas are groundbreaking, it's that he's the only one with the balls to try to implement them. Russo takes the short bus to work and Bischoff has had his head so far up Hogan's ass, the Hulkster hasn't had to chew for himself since 1996, so of course he isn't going to do anything that takes Hogan or his old ass friends out of the picture and Dixie, is clueless although she means well.
However, I also think there's some self preservation on Heyman's part. As things stand right now, there are a lot of people who view him as this savior and wrestling genius. It's much easier for him to stay on the sidelines and say stuff like this than it is to take a risk that his ideas won't take off as well in real life as they do on paper and have his legacy tarnished due to his association with TNA. |

Paul Heyman is dead on the money. As many have said, it's not that he's presenting anything ground-breaking. He just knows the right thing to do, and that's highlight your strengths, and cut out the older guys taking up TV time.

On a related note, here's an excerpt from Powerslam Magazine with Heyman.

You have to wonder what would have happened had Paul Heyman had a network behind him backing his visions of ECW. The guy just seems to get it, which is more that can be said about other people in the buisness.

For some reason, Heyman's mother being a Holocaust survivor totally makes sense to me in regards to Heyman's character as a human being.
Great post, Xero. |

Some Japanese wrestling promotions and wrestling in general is taken way more seriously than anything in the US, though.

Which is all the reason I enjoy their wrestling more often, and the fights between wrestlers and martial artists are called Different Style Fights.

A shaved ape can run TNA better than Hogan.
Also, Paul Heyman will now and forever be known to me as Paul Freakin' Heyman. |
