The prudent and cunning Paul Heyman, nicknamed Dangerous, collaborated with everyone in the world of wrestling. He has a smart policy both on and off the air of the show. The manager has several golden contracts in his piggy bank, which he does not want to miss out on. But there have been sweeter times for the American. Let's get to know him a little better, and also remember who was under the tutelage of Paul in the WWE promotion.

Career start

Our hero was born in the suburbs of New York on September 11, 1965. His parents are immigrants who moved from Europe. From an early age, the boy had a developed entrepreneurial vein. As a teenager, he organized the sale of souvenirs with the symbols of sports celebrities. The young man photographed WWWF wrestlers, and received small fees for the pictures.

Paul Heyman lives in the world of this art and, having matured, writes articles on this topic. With age, he is looking for loopholes to get closer to the elite organizations. As a manager, he makes his debut in 1987 in a small company. Paul Heyman gradually delves intointo the system from the inside. He tours from one organization to another, in which he manages to work as an accountant, commentator and directly a participant in the struggle, having composed the image of his character. The American gets a positive reputation, which he achieves with his work.

In the 90s, the Dangerous team was put together. Paul achieved the signing of agreements with the top wrestlers of the time, who, under his leadership, won several titles. The manager's cooperation with World Championship Wrestling was very beneficial. During this time, his team dominated the others, also had great reviews from the fans. But the promoter had to leave the organization due to disagreements with Bill Watts.

Head of Extreme Championship Wrestling

Paul Heyman cuts ties with WCW, considering starting his own company. He dreamed of an innovative approach to such a familiar show. Further, by coincidence, Heyman is accepted for the work of ECW. His responsibilities also include the search for young prospects, monitoring competitors and promoting the project. Later becomes the owner of the federation. He leaves a lot of energy to make his brainchild competitive in the entertainment market. The owner diversifies his league. For example, combinations of different styles of wrestling looked bright and unsurpassed. Our hero liked the battles that looked tougher than the rest. In this he achieved some success. But in the mid-90s, Vince McMahon launches the mechanisms of an insidious plan toenslavement of ECW.

Work in WWF/WWE

In 2001, the project was declared bankrupt. Dangerous goes to the camp of the enemy - World Wrestling Federation (later World Wrestling Entertainment). He worked in WWE, starting from the announcer and ending with the general manager. In 2006, Vincent envisioned the revival of ECW as a WWE brand. A good product could not be made. Initially, the leaders had different concepts for promoting the show. Vince fixed cards that Dangerous had big plans for. A series of incidents and an onslaught from the authorities led to poorly chosen decisions in the promotion. After small fees from paid broadcasts, prospects collapsed. Due to his temper, Paul quit the company and was also asked to leave by Vince McMahon.

The return to the federation took place in May 2012. Right now, Heyman should be content with his position on the show. He has a good income from what he loves, and there are several textured WWE employees in submission. Let's get to know them.

Brock Lesnar

"The Beast" trusted our hero in the role of legal consultant. They have been cooperating for several years and know each other closely. Paul is Brock Lesnar's manager in mixed martial arts. Heyman promotes a reputable fighter to cash fights with eminent opponents of the UFC promotion. Top heavyweights and light heavyweights are constantly challenging Brock, but the pair are waiting for a bigger offer from management.

Rob Van Dam

Partnershipmanager and wrestler brought good dividends. Their joint activities began with the ECW, where the promoter spotted a rising star. Rob Van Dam starred in the lead roles of The Heyman Show. He tried to promote the athlete. The athlete became the champion of WWE, ECW and TNA.

Phillip Jack Brooks

Pro wrestling fans are best known as CM Punk. Spectacular staged fight personality who ended his career. Before his dismissal, he criticized the project management, for which he did not receive proper participation on and off the stage. Dangerous saw in the guy a talent that the chairman of WWE did not notice. CM Punk is a character that is currently missing from RAW. He tried, like Lesnar, to move into mixed martial arts, but to date he has suffered two defeats.

Joseph Curtis "Joe" Hennig

The son of "Mr. Excellent" Kurt Hennig was taken under his wing. The guy did not achieve any special results, but after the work done by our hero, things went uphill. Hennig takes a pseudonym - Curtis Axel. In the first confrontation, he wins a strong-willed victory over Triple H. Curtis sharply refuses Bret Hart's advice to terminate the contract. He owes a debt to a genius manipulator.
