Paul Heyman Explains Why Vince McMahon Never Got Credit For Building WWE
Paul Heyman has been a major figure in professional wrestling for years. He ran an enterprise, served as an advocate, and tried out different roles to learn more about the industry.
As the special counsel to The Chief and The Usos on SmackDown he is currently one of the WWE’s most public figures.
Heyman claims McMahon is a man with a close-knit family that never got the credit he deserves. McMahon announced his retirement from WWF in 2001, but has stayed with WWE as an on-air commentator.
“I think there is a locker room and an office filled with fabulously wealthy people thanks to the 22 hour work day of Vince McMahon for the past 40 years.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Vince McMahon. What a hypocrite I would be to say anything less than extraordinarily complimentary (things) about that man.
His work ethic, his willingness to put in 20, 22 hours a day, every day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, for 40 years is why we are all fabulously wealthy. He’ll never get the credit or understanding that he truly deserves and he earned.”
Heyman generally values McMahon’s work ethic and believes heavily in the changes to be expected with the new WWE regime. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of impact the new changes will have on the WWE landscape.
Paul Heyman recalls Vince McMahon’s important advice
Despite becoming the special counsel of The Bloodline in 2019, Paul Heyman had stepped down from his role on RAW a year later. We last saw Heyman a year later when we saw him with our Tribal Chief.
McMahon gave Paul Heyman a piece of advice last month that made the “Beast” realize that this was his time to shine. He advised Heyman to show everyone what he was capable of, and finally become the head writer in WWE.
“He looked me straight in the eyes and said, ‘the show goes on with or without me.’ He meant it. I can tell you multiple stories that I won’t because they happened in confidence that back up that statement that I witnessed him say to other people at times when ‘well, this happened, what do we do Vince?’ The answer is always, ‘the show goes on. I don’t care if it’s me. The show goes on.”
