Cody Rhodes Explains How Paul Heyman Is A Supergenius, ‘Like Scorcese In The Film World’

Paul Heyman has been credited for helping many talents over the years, whether he’s acting a mouthpiece on screen or giving advice behind the scenes.

Cody Rhodes has labeled him a “supergenius,” and on What Do You Want To Talk About, Rhodes explained what that means.

“What (fans) will never see, he sits in the corner of Gorilla position. He has his own little spot. We call them supergenuines. Like Scorsese in the film world. He’s a super genius. These are the things people don’t know. When you talk about your segment for the night. ‘I feel like I should be smart for this. I should empty the pockets for this. I feel there is more.’ He doesn’t go with wrestling parallels. He’s not going to show you a clip of Jake Roberts or Rick Rude. He could, but what he does is ‘Check out this Gary Oldman clip. Check out Billy Bob Thornton.’ Those are where he likes to go,” he said.

Cody’s guest on the podcast, Timothee Chalamet, also praised Heyman, calling him “the real.” You can find Chalamet’s comments here.
