He was AMAZING tonight. He was great with Vince and was great in the video with Maddox and Shield.

The part where he talked about lying every day was just incredible. He talked for a full minute, no stutters, no stopping, just a passionate speech that led to cheers once he stopped talking. Amazing performer, he's up there with Heenan and Cornette as a talker.

I like the wrestling. It's fun to watch. Cartoon violence and ridiculous moves are fun. But for 43 years my favorite part of wrestling has always been the talking. When Hayman hit his stride, "I am a promoter, I ahve lied every day of my sorry stinking life..." my jaw dropped. And then it kept getting better. Sure "The Pipe Bomb" will be remembered forever, but in ten years that small percentage of the fanbase who really cherishes stick work will mention that promo with Regal's Eugene promo, Foley's Cane Dewey, And Dusty's Hard Times. It Really was That good.

He was better on the mic tonight than everyone else on the roster combined. He actually made it worth sitting through that awful show.

Dude's easily one of the best mic workers of all time. He's amazing.

Him freaking out over Brock sold him as a Broly level monster. I hope he squashes whoever his next match is with.

I haven't enjoyed him all that much during his current run, but he was AMAZING tonight.

I loved how he was averting his eyes from what Brock was about to do while telling Vince to leave the ring.

One of the best managers ever and future Hall of Famer ladies and gentlemen. Plus he sold Lesnar even more as a monster with his facial expressions and body language, which not many can do.

I love Heyman and his promos, but denying that was him in the video and someone was doing a bad impression of him? That wasn't impressive at all.

I guess there was really no other way to handle it. Interesting he was already starting on an unemployment beard

It was great because it was funny as hell. Heyman is Starscream, he'll try anything when backed into a corner, and it was a perfect expression of character. He goes on this big tirade about how he's a liar, but not on this, and then was desperate to try to get out of it

Heyman saved Raw from being completely terrible last night. between WWE going in the most boring direction possible with Punk, Cena's "coulda seen it a mile away" promo, Miz acting like the worst babyface ever, and a whole bunch of boring matches (to say nothing of THAT Tensai segment) it was terrible except for Paul. and I think it's telling that Vince's babyface act is stale as hell when I was cheering for Brock to shut his pie-hole.

That wasn't impressive at all. that was the point. it was a blatant lie. unless WWE decides to get really silly and have Paul Heyman suddenly have an evil twin he didn't know about, it's was a pretty blatant example of implausible deniability. it just sucks that Paul and Punk really were getting Shield and Maddox to work for them all along, because that's about as uninteresting a resolution as possible, and still doesn't account for Shield randomly beating up other people too.

I don't think there was any other way to resolve it. Of course they were working for Heyman and Punk, two different groups just randomly deciding to stop Punk from losing wouldn't make sense otherwise.
As for Shield beating up people, I don't think it's hard to explain. They weren't lying, they really are against people they feel don't deserve the pushes they got. They may have been started on it by Heyman, but they believe in the reasons they're stating.

Legally they have complete control over firing Paul if he admits that was him on the tape. Denying it was him (even though it is) is what any sane legal representative would do in a similar situation. They would be obliged to take Paul to court to prove the tape isn't doctored to avoid wrongful termination suits, which would be costly in terms of money and time.

One of my favorite promos EVER. Just incredible. Him saying that was an impostor was golden.
