Jimmy Hart gives his thoughts on Paul Heyman as a wrestling manager.
At WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman would seize headlines after turning on both CM Punk and Roman Reigns to close night one of the event, now being the advocate for Seth Rollins. On the night after WrestleMania, Heyman would also join forces with Bron Breakker, adding to his power on WWE Monday Night RAW.
While speaking to Justin Barrasso in a new interview, Jimmy Hart was asked who his favorite manager in wrestling today is, naming Paul Heyman.
"It’s Paul Heyman. He’s my favorite, and he’s been doing this at such a high level for so long. What he’s doing now is the best stuff in wrestling. He’s putting food on the table for a lot of people in WWE."
Hart continued, remarking that Heyman is 'magic'.
"Paul Heyman, he’s magic. He makes every part of what he’s doing so meaningful. That’s what I tried to do, too–if they were going to paint me yellow, then I brought the paint. Paul is the same way–you have to watch to see what he’s going to do next. He’s a genius. Paul is still doing so much. Look what he did in ECW. He put a company together, he helped turn guys into stars. Look at what he’s done since–he doesn’t stop. I love him to death."
On the April 28th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Heyman, Rollins and Breakker would beat down Sami Zayn after he refused their offer to leave the brand for WWE Friday Night SmackDown. You can read more about that here.
