Heyman's legit close friends with both Punk and Brock. Anyone else wouldn't feel as natural of a pairing as Paul is with those two.
So I don't think he should have any other clients in the foreseeable future.

He's a great manager but manager's are ancient relics of the past. That stuff doesn't work anymore. For example: JACK SWAGGER. Zeb Coulter is hilarious but he don't wrestle. Once the bell rings, I'm sitting there watching "JACK SWAGGER"! Paul Heyman talks a lot of crap when he's not employed by anyone, saying all the things he would do to make things better. Heyman has been back for over a year and WWE has had its worst ratings ever and CM Punk is left in the dust with absolutely nothing creatively for him on the horizon.

Once the bell rings, I'm sitting there watching "JACK SWAGGER"!] I think you're mistaking Jack Swagger's absolute void of charisma for the concept as a whole failing. Some people are beyond help, sure, but if you pair an already talented person with a manager who can work with them in a natural way, you create a duo that becomes more than the sum of its parts. The thing is, both people have to be able to hold up their end of the bargain to make it worthwhile, which Jack Swagger was clearly not capable of doing.

It should be someone new, so Heyman can manage them from the start of their career. Kassius Ohno would be perfect. That would be my choice as well.

Although punk can talk for himself he and heyman are real life friends so their chemistry is natural and isn't forced looking like miz/flair IMO

I want to see something similar to when Michael Hayes brought out the Hardy Boys to take on Edge and Christian. Take two talented guys that haven't done much basically out of the blue, change their look, and have them go against a hot team.

He's just a guy who made a couple of one off appearances on a few nostalgia-themed shows.

I'm saying that miz and flair's "connections" didn't come off as natural to me as Heyman/Lesnar Heynan/punk

Kassius Ohno once he's called up. It'd make him seem like a big deal if he's managed by a guy like Heyman.

I'd like to see him with a returning John Morrison. He can revert back to Hollywood Johnny Nitro and Heyman can be Smarmy Agent. Also If Shelton's coming back I'd put him with Heyman.

Bray Wyatt should have a manager like Paul Heyman, or even better Wyatt should take over Zeb Coulter's managerial role and bring Swagger into his flock since I like his sinister depiction of redneck proto-Americans better than the stale Real Americans.
Paul's next client should honestly be a returning Legend-tier Superstar heel. Like if King Booker came back for one more match (since he seems to be turning heel on Smackdown), Paul would be the perfect 'All Hail King Booker!' annoying town cryer with his harsh-sounding voice. If Batista ever came back, he'd be another good pick.

If Ohno is still doing the KO gimmick, Heyman would be awesome for putting that over and establishing his knockout power with the audience. Heyman could be Don King to Ohno's Tyson, right down to chiseling him out of money if they wanted to go that route. Wade Barrett is a guy that could use a manager as well. He's got the whole "real fighter" thing going, to me that lends itself to having a cornerman of some sort, be it an agent, promoter, or trainer.

Are you seriously blaming Heyman for the WWE's booking and less than stellar ratings? I really don't get how you can come to that conclusion. Personally, I'd enjoy seeing Heyman working with Cesaro. Obviously it would give Cesaro more time in the spotlight and make him look like a legit force. In the ring Cesaro can more than handle any load the WWE throws at him and is already decent on the mic. I think Heyman would basically be the one to kick Cesaro's career into high gear.

Definitely Cesaro. Lesnar likely won't be around for awhile after Extreme Rules & Punk won't be coming back anytime soon either; I believe Cesaro would be a perfect person for a guy like Heyman to manage - maybe even to a WWE Title match
