For years, WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has shown a deep understanding of the professional wrestling industry. As a major WWE name, he plays an important role in the company, but he has now admitted that he really hates the term “manager” in pro wrestling.
During an appearance on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Paul Heyman was asked about being considered the greatest manager of all time in WWE. He expressed his dislike for the term “manager,” believing it carries an outdated and restrictive role within the industry.
Heyman explained that he has redefined the position, elevating it beyond traditional management into something greater. He emphasized that the title of “Wise Man” was given to him with great honor by Roman Reigns, reflecting his evolved role within The Bloodline.
“I’ve always despised the term ‘manager’ because I felt it had a draconian role within the industry. I’ve elevated the art of what a manager would do into being a ‘Wise Man,’ a name that was bestowed upon me with great honor by my Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.”
Paul Heyman’s genius lies in the fact that he can blend so many elements into his role at any given time, which is why he is a WWE Hall of Famer. Heyman is one of WWE’s most important figures because of his talent for strategy, storytelling, and building characters since he has helped elevate Roman Reigns’ career and has also played a big part in the success of Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and The Usos and that’s why he will always be considered one of the greatest of all time.
