Paul Heyman Holding Other Managers Down.

[Allison Reynolds]

Granted, most storylines with him involved usually help superstars like it likely will for Cesaro as Heyman's great at hyping. Plus it was a way to move Cesaro away from the real american restriction, so it makes sense.

It's just that something about the "Not a Zeb Colter guy - a Paul Heyman Guy" thing made me frowny face. Why does Paul Heyman have to always be the bestest manager that only he matters of all the managers. I thought that it was great that Colter was showing that he too was looking like a quality manager especially after managing to keep peace between his two boys that one time and being a great hype-man as well.

Now that's ruined to give Heyman yet another credential that someone else could have gotten for once.

Give other managers some chance to shine darn it. He already has Brock Lesnar. :/

PS: I have to give Heyman credit though. "The King of Swing" is a fun nickname.

Yeah I know, I'll probably see Heyman > Zeb as one of the replies with lots of likes, so I might as well mention that now and get it over with. Poor Zeb Colter.

I enjoy both guys and love managers/valets and miss them in modern WWE but man, I totally marked when Cesaro made the jump.

Edit - Forgot to make my point. Poor Zeb. I was hoping he'd dump Swagger and keep Cesaro.

I enjoy both guys but... Kayfabe wise, Heyman has managed Punk to a year long title reign and Brock to breaking the streak. Zeb has managed Jack Swagger to... nothing.

If I was gonna choose, I'd pick Heyman to be my manager any day of the week.

I hope to see more of Zeb Coulter, maybe looking for recruits.

[Push R Truth]

Zeb could be the manager of the 3 Man Band... baby

Stuff like this makes me want to see Daivari return as the conniving dude who, due to his being much younger, constantly tries to usurp the "best manager" title from Heyman, but instead of associating with established main event-style talents, brings in all the weirdos and circus freaks that NXT has to offer as his weapons of choice.


I'd also like if they regularly had heel managers trying to one-up each other and forging temporary alliances.

[A Platypus Rave]

I love Zeb and his increasingly bizarre facial hair but if we're going Kayfabe accomplishments Paul Heyman has definitely handled more successful people.

[Dave the Dave]

It was a total dick move by Cesaro. He used Zeb then as soon as he's on the upswing he jumps to THE manager.

BUt turning a racist old man face is a tough thing. So who knows how it goes.

What other managers do you speak of? Isn't Colter the only one? And Lana at a distant third? And unless they start scooping up managers for NXT (ahem) I don't see that trend changing soon.

I liked Cesaro and Zeb, but I think him swinging to Heyman is a good call. Swagger definitely needs Zeb more than Cesaro did, and Heyman is going to bring him a lot more exposure. I think it's the best way possible for them to break up.
