Two things:
1)To me, Taz kinda looks liked Donald Pleasence circa 1978
2)I cracked up at Heyman quoting Young Frankenstein.

So are the shows like the night the line was crossed and other big ecw shows that we're not actually PPVS on the network?

Man, I know Heyman is a lying tub, but that speech he gave toward the end (before the Brock statement) was just amazing!
I can see how he got people to believe him time and time again.

Most of it is fun just to see guys who seem friendly in real life having fun with each other. But Heyman did reveal an interesting thing about who could have been an investor to ECW with a 49% ownership and PPV distribution before they pulled out. Also, THE Fed-Ex story.

Man, I know Heyman is a lying tub, but that speech he gave toward the end (before the Brock statement) was just amazing! I can see how he got people to believe him time and time again. That speech was pretty amazing, although I have to admit it was pretty corny when he said everyone should in front of him on Mount Rushmore. But that is the interesting thing about Heyman, I watched "Hi, my name is Paul Heyman " on the Network and they all would talk about how Heyman was behind on paying them and how terrible with finances, yet they continued to work with him. Dreamer was even running the shows in the end, because Heyman was too bogged down with legal issues and depressed to even show up on the last few shows. I guess looking at it even now, most of those guys wouldn't have got a chance to become stars in WCW or WWF at the time. They also learned a lot about running shows, which is probably helping Dreamer immensely with his promotion. So yeah Heyman used them, but it still helped them in the end. All of the guys on that show ended up doing a lot afterwards and probably making good money to make up for Heyman not paying. Heck, even the people not there, made more money after ECW fell than they any business making. Also, ECW was ridiculously successful for what it was, it's name even reached the mainstream in the late 90s. I remember having friends that didn't even watch wrestling, and they knew it by name. Unlike pretty much every promotion besides JCP, when it fell, it was bigger than ever. So I can get why the guys bought into what Heyman was selling, because it worked and even to this day you still hear ECW chants 16 years later. Unfortunately, Heyman just couldn't figure out the finances or find a backer because his product was too edgy.

I'm gonna say that investor story might be an insane lie. Might be.

If I had to guess, I would say Heyman is sick of telling the ECW story for the 9000th time. The Disney thing was a whopper, but he completely backs off the "Vince funneling money into ECW" story that has been accepted as fact since The Rise and Fall of ECW.

I think that might of been more Paul saying he himself wasn't officially on the pay role not denying wwe was giving them money. Maybe?
