such a bullshit Interview Heyman was working for wwe at the time of this interview so he aint gonna slag of McMahon Triple H and steph its a bull shit interview
warlock are you watching the same video we are?heyman said he could take someone by the hand and play to his strenths make a good wrestler look great and a great wrestler look like the greatest which he did everynite he owned ecw back in the 90s. no one is perfect its tyranny that destroys great entertainment. vince picks who HE wants to be great so he can have complete control of every aspect and every $.robs been hustlin in wrestling too long and knows what he is worth.he gave his all for ecw!
@Willverinerage I was hoping he'd say Raven....I just wonder if anyone ever stood up for him WHILE he was working there, he cudda been so cool in that era, but o well
Heyman has an amazing eye for talent. He saw the potential in Jericho, in RVD, in CM Punk... Vince didn't realise the intelligence of Heyman while he was working for him, and now he's gone, I hope Vince knows what he's lost.
@warlock776 RVD was a charismatic guy back in the day and an exceptional spot guy,however in this day and age he no longer stands out.His promo skills seem to have diminished as well,although this could be due to how he's been booked in TNA.They can't get anyone over.Paul's got a good eye for talent but a lot of the hardcore fans do as well,check out CM Punk's debut in ECW.He was already mad over.The problem with WWE&TNA is they don't listen to their fans,they dictate to their fans.Paul didn't.
Is it true Heyman did this show a year later during his run as Smackdown GM? I heard that was his 2nd appearance on this show, and would like to see it
I would absoulutley love to see heyman on this show now. I wonder what his responses would be like now on the wwe, the way they treated rvd etc. Would be a quality interview.
@theutddream they treated RVD the way he deserved.... as much as i ALWAYS liked RVD going back to the late 90s in ECW, the guy behaved like a dumbass that never realized what he had in his hands... WWE FINALLY gave him the title at One NIght Stand back in 2006 and whta did the guy do??? he started smocking pot again and was even caught by the police with a significant ammout of it in his car, not to mention that Sabu was traveling with him and he also had other drugs in his possession.......
Man that interviewer is a douchebag, someone should try explaining to him that you can do a good and credible interview without being an arrogant jerk to your interviewees.
@Kreimehn They are talking about Jerry Lawler at the time. Lawler had a major hate on for ECW, and at one time supposedly said "This Bingo Hall (ECW Arena) should be built out of toilet paper because there's nothing in it but shit!". The arena that ECW used in the 1990s was sometimes used as a bingo hall before ECW began using it.
@Kreimehn Lawler doesn't hate ECW. He said that to get heel heat, and he did. If Lawler DID hate ECW, he wouldn't even have gone to that place to work out a storyline with them.
I hated hearing Paul Heyman the character, but I love listening to Paul Heyman the man. The guy is ridiculously articulate in his answers but he knows what he's talking about.
gotta give props to landsberg here. he interjects alot but that seems to be his style and he treats every guest the same. not to mention he's very knowledgeable. never down-talks wrestling and seems to follow the product (and if he doesn't, he does a good job acting like he does). never afraid of asking the tough questions either. makes for a very good interview
I'm surprised that he had such harsh words for Cornette...Cornette pretty much is the one that got him over in NWA/WCW with the original midnight express angle that was a huge draw for Starrcade 88...I wish they'd have spoken more about his relationship with Jim Cornette because I remember that feud even 22 years after the fact and it's one of the things that really got me into wrestling.
@RichieEastside Hm, is quite hard to praise Jim when he himself has had some pretty bad words to say about Paul E in the past (And quite rightly so in most cases). They both respect each other in terms when it comes to Professional Wrestling, but other than that..forget it
Its was really weird how he was promoting future interviews while he was right in the middle of Paul heymans one. I would be kinda pissed off if I was Heyman and also being interrupted too.
After watching all these OTR's with wrestlers, I can only assume the real opening credits to the show should be Michael Landsberg dry humping Bret Hart in time to the music.
Eric bishof er what ever is a fuckin idiot man ..he fuckin got rid of one of the best wrestler's ever..STONE COLD cause he said he was not marketable..biggest mistake of his life..lmao
LMAO. In Jericho's book, he talks about how Paul E, kept ducking his calls. To hear Paul say he called him, what a B/S artist. Still, the greatest mind in the business ever and TNA is dumb for not trying to bring him in......
i loved this otr. seen em all, and this one was the most interesting. out of character, paul heyman is a genius, and deserves a lot of respect. he made brawlers with no wrestling ability, like sandman and tommy dreamer stars. if that isn't talent and a knowledge of the business, i don't know what is. on top of that, heyman made a joke of the entire nwa, their lineage of champions, and jim cornette, again, heyman is a mastermind.
At 3:57 Lansberg talks about Mark Calloway (Undertaker) saying who was the most disappointment to him and he said Big Show. I found that interesting. Cause Paul could not think of a wrestler who had a lot of talent that the company did not use right. One guy that comes to mind for me is Kane. He has had the World Title for a day, back when he beat Austin. Now when you look at Kane he is a pushover now. It is to bad cause he use to be one bad ass mother fucker that the fans really did like.
It seems to me that people on on the Creative Team choose their words very, very carefully in interviews...I'm sure Heyman wanted to say A LOT MORE, but he was "guarded" in his answers...
I never understood how people say Kane has dovetailed so much. Sure he isn't depicted as the unstoppable monster he used to be but he still gets decent mid-card to top mid-card feuds and comes off looking strong in matches. He KO'd the intercontinental champion Drew McIntyre for a spot in the MITB match for goodness sake. Plus he doesn't LIKE being champion, so he doesn't win any titles often.
@nexivdr Well nobody said he wasn't working for them at the time you dumb little bitch! All he said was he was holding back. That don't mean he is a bad guy or anything. And it is pretty much a fact he was holding back. Even if he was working with WWE. And this way before WWE started to suck dick so things might have been better behind the scenes then they are right now. Goddamn man pull your panties out of your ass you dumbshit.
TNA has brought in Hogan, Bischoff, Russo and Ferrara. They're pulling out all the stops to compete with WWE. They won't hesitate to bring someone like Paul Heyman in if they feel it helps their position to compete with McMahon.
Heyman is over rated as a booker. Heyman recycles a few old Memphis things and pretends they are revolutionary and new and once you have watched Heyman's stuff for a while it gets really predictable. Heyman does not work or play well with others, especially women, so he is no good as part of a team and is hard to handle. The bottom line is $ and Heyman has not made $ as a booker (ECW never made money), so nobody is wild to let Heyman run their company.
you may have a point of heyman not playing well with others, but ecw was robbed of there talant in a regular basis, heyman created new stars with little money, tna are paying hogan and co a lot of cash to run tna and there track record is the shits,at least when heyman was booking smackdown a few years ago for a short while it was the best wrestling show on tv, wrestling today needs new stars not the same old faces.
Every body remembers the great Heyman angles, but forgets the crap Heyman did, such as crucifictions and breaking Dreamer's fingers. Every body says Heyman built stars, but forget idiotic gimmicks Heyman did like the Musketeer and Judge Jeff Jones. Heyman's talent decisions were suspect with infinite pushes for duds like Justin Credible and Rhino. Heyman cheated and went to war with TNN, which is now Spike and partially owns TNA, so there is no chance in hell they would ever let Heyman in TNA
ur right there is no chance spike tv will employ heyman, but when it comes to talant getting a chance in ecw, what about raven, the dudleys, rey mystero,chris jericho,eddie guerrero,steve austin,lita,rvd,shane douglas, and that is just a few. i do admit at the end of ecw he pushed a few people that wouldnt have been there. but that when his top talant were in wcw or wwf.
Most of the people you mention were stars before and after they were in ECW not just because of ECW. Douglas and Raven were total wastes of time since they ran out on ECW and never got over any place with out ECW over pushing. Heyman always made dumb decisions like World champions Whipwreck and Grandpa Funk. Heyman always pushed a lot of duds like the Harris Twins and pretty much any WWF or WCW cast off he could get his hands on who would agree to stay around ECW for a while. Heyman = over rated
wwe and wcw have both made bad decisions when it comes to champions, for eg vince mcmahon as wwf champ and ddp as wcw champ. austin was fired by wcw and wwf didnt want him, the others i mentioned and you can add beniot to the list,, wwf and wcw wouldnt give them a chance. and what about the people that had no talant yet had good carears because of heyman. people like the sandman, newjack and public enemy. they were the shits. wwf and wcw both found out without heyman they were worthless
WWF wanted Austin from the start, which is why Austin only had a couple of ECW matches and refused to take the ECW title because he knew Ross was going to get him in the big time once his arm was healed. WWF and WCW wanted Benoit before ECW and made him offers, but Benoit was making more cash in Japan at that time. WWF has been around for decades and not made as many mistakes with its main title as Heyman had with dud champions like Credible and Awesome and WCW only got bad their last 2 years
Austin only wrestled a few times in ecw because he was injured, heyman worked with him in wcw and knew he was a good talker, some of his interveiws in ecw were his best he ever done, u should check them out, beniot had a few try outs with wwf but was never offerd a job. mike Awesome could have been a great wrestler but he sold out to wcw and they done nothing with him whats so ever.u should check out his matches from ecw and japan, credible was ok but he was only there at the end of ecw.
I have seen all the Austin promos in ECW and I know all about his time there. Austin was healthy when he started wrestling in ECW, he just refused to be ECW champion and wrestle more than a couple of matches because his goal from the time he got himself fired from WCW was to go to WWF. Watch the Benoit Hard Knocks box set where Benoit says he was offered a WWF job, but they could not pay him enough to take it. Aldo Montoya and his jock strap as well as the Fat Chick Thriller with the belt sucked
i think your mixing up briann pillman and austin, brian pillman got himself fired from wcw and his plan was to go to wwf. austin was really injured when wcw fired him. thats why he was so pissed off. Jr got him the job in wwf. as for awsome wcw paid a lot of cash to buy out his contract and did nothing with him. credible was only there at the end when everybody knew it was over. you think heyman is over rated, i think wrestling needs him today. just end it at that. nothing is going to change.
Austin got himself fired from WCW the same way he got himself fired from WWF for a while where he took his ball and went home because he was not getting his way. Austin was still supposed to show up to TV and make appearances, but he refused to, so WCW had to can him. Rhyno was the last guy when ECW was dead and Credible was pushed to the moon over RVD and others while there was still life in ECW. Awesome did not have a contract with ECW to buy out as he says on his RF Video shoot interview.
this is the last am going to say on the issue. everyting vince mcmahon says isnt true the same with the shoot interveiws. wcw had to pay ecw 200 thousand dollers for awsome, that is fact and is written in many different wrestling books. u think he is over rated i think wrestling needs him today, just end it at that. there is no point going back anf fourth of this issue.
I will take the word of the guy who was there over you and your anonymous books. Awesome did not have a signed contract with ECW or else it would have been illegal for WCW to even talk to Awesome (I have a Master's degree in sports management, so I know this stuff way better than you). Most of what McMahon says is true compared to know nothing smarks and dirt sheets. If wrestling needed Heyman now he would have a job some place in wrestling, which he does not and probably will not again.
the discusion is over, we have different opinionsd get over it. move on. although heyman isnt employed by a wrestling comopany is because he is finished with wrestling, and wwf is a kids show, and tna vince russo, hogan are running the show. but lets move on. and leave it at that
I thought you said this discussion was over and you said the last you were going to say several messages ago. Heyman is not employed by WWF because he is a paranoid maniac who was spying on other people's telephone calls and he can not work well with others (especially not women in power). Heyman is not in TNA for the same reasons and because he has bad mouthed every body who runs TNA at some point. If you want Heyman booking, then watch UFC because he has said he wants wrestling to be MMA
Im sure guys like Dreamer and Sandman having no success had NOTHING to do with them being buried in the mid-card at best or at worst given a gimmick where they eat gross crap then get beat up by Undertaker for no reason
If we want to talk about a lack of talent holding guys back why do Cena Batista and Khali still on TV?Those shmucks wouldnt have been fit to shine the Great Ones boots in 97-04
The sandman never had to do that stuff. The sandman had a good gimmick and he could connect with the audience but he wasn't a great wrestler.
Thats why in ECW his entrance would last5 or 6 minutes and his matches woud only take half that time. Heyman was once again hiding the Sandmans flaws to improve the product. In WCW the Sandmans gimmick was somewhat unentertaining and his career stalled because of it.
Im not gonna disagree you but honestly did any of the ECW guys have a real shot in hell in WWF besides Van Dam?I mean if they can take a career mid-carder with a "lookie me i dont know what race I am just like eminem" and pretend hes world champ material couldnt they have done something better with Tommy Dreamer than making him eat wads of gross stuff?
Thw WCW problem probably had more to do with WCW being complete ass from 98 onward.The Rock couldnt have saved WCW
I actually think that Heyman should have sued WWE for gimmick infringement. My point was that the Sandman wasn't a polished wrestler. Like Bret Hart, Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle. The amount of chair shots he (stupidly) took to the head doesn't factor in to that. Heyman knew his stars strengths and the Sandman's strength was his gimmick. He could connect with an audience and obviously you. Just don't expect any 5* matches out of him and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
@noimagination68 ok dude but try to not insult what other people 's likes or not.for example extremists really likes chairshots directly on wrestlers heads,extremists admires real sacrifices in the name of the extreme .predeterminated sport with more real damage for wrestlers is what extremists wrestling fans likes.i get your point for sandman "stupidity" that's what you think cuz he obviously was not obliged to take directly chairshots with no hands .
@noimagination68 but i repeat myself is what extremists wrestling fans really
likes.sacrifices .
it's obvious that he is not kurt angle it's not a technical wrestler,but he deserves a lot of respect from all the wrestling fans even who likes only technical wrestling.i'm outta here
@njchampion I never said that the Sandman didnt deserve respect. Anyone who is willing to be on the road 300 days a year for their craft deserves nothing less. My point was (probably, I mean it was a longish time ago) about concussions caused from a direct chairshots to the head. You can probably link many of the pre-50 wrestler deaths to those concussions. If the extremists like it or not the wrestlers life must surely come before a fans enjoyment. The WWE knows this now, and have banned them.
@andre30032002 your point is clear for a lot people but i can assure you that there's so much people around the world who keeps to admire stone cold gimmick ,with big hate for the sandman.
@andre30032002 i don`t think that is quite right.... Vince did get a lot of ideas from ECW... in my opinion that`s the main reason as to why he brought them in back in 96, to take a close look at them and get some ideas from something that was working.... but the whole "attitude era" is nothing more than a catch phrase... he got some ideas from ECW and he convined them with his own... like making an nWo type of group (DX) or running with Austin`s character that became so popular out of nowhere..
@andre30032002 I think the attitude era happened because Vince Russo as the guy in charge of all the Kayfabe, thought that was the Best way to compete with WCW in the ratings. They experimented with characters such as Stone Cold, Nation of Domination, D.O.A., D.X. and The Corporation and saw immediate results. The whole Rebelious Gang Mentality aka the "Attitude Era" saved the former "WWF" from going bankrupt. As for ECW, they were a tiny spec in the business and the Least of McMahon's concerns.
god who doesnt know this man everyone repeats this all the time, dont get me wrong i wish i was 15 again watching it live again but its 2011 stop the broken record mainstream wrestling is dead
sandman had no success before ecw and none afterwards, he had little talant but had a good carear, wich is good for him, am not really a big wwf fan, wwf is pg rated and cena is popular with the kids. batista is ok, khali is a joke. wwf has always been land of the giants.
Hey guys, I’m trying to increase my vertical leap by doing the training program over at snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining - and gained like 9-10 inches so far but I’m still a bit away from dunking the ball. Does anyone have any more tips to increase it even more? I’m only 3 weeks into the training program but I can’t wait to start dunking!
Why remove my comment? Why give me thumbs down? I'm pointing out that racists exist and you're fucking deleting my comments? They are the ones doing it
gets away with having a character who calls his finishing move "The Gringo Killer"? If the shoe was on the other foot, there would be news coverage, both nationally and internationally. How many white people are paying ticket holder customers at each TNA show and they get
racially disrepected by a TNA? One of the wrestlers ducked my question when I asked her about it and TNA did as well. So what do you think as wrestling fans?
Its a name of a move, chill out. wrestling is full of racial streotypes, mexicans on lawnmowers, Cryme Tyme is a black street gang style tag team, Finley, Sheamus & Hornswaggle (nuff said) Eddie`s lowrider & lie, cheat, steal theme.
i would love to go for being a story writer for either TNA or WWE. i'm always thinking of cool story lines just out of the blue. of course theirs alot more to it than just being creative here and there. anybody able to give some non-bias advise about pursuing this?
thanks for the tip. i actually just thought about doing that. i'm not too familiar with alot of independent companies though. would you know if most of them even have storylines?
I assume so lol, the one my mate wrestles for does (even though i think the story's are well...shit) but i've never cared about the story's myself, I just want to see a good match
If Heyman had the kind of financial support to compete with WWF & WCW back inthe late 90s, ECW would've owned the wrestling landscape by the year 2000.
I remember that, I thought it was when it was Eastern Championship Wrestling, not Extreme Championship Wrestling. When it was Eastern I don't think Paul was in control
I think that was an indy show, that was supposed to be Terry Funk's retirement match. It's briefly mentioned in "beyond the mat". I doubt it was an ecw show cause Bret hated ECW.
I'm sorry, did I miss something? I don't remember talking about the Taz/Mike Awesome match. I do remember that, though. I remember Taz came out on SmackDown with the title and Triple H said ECW sucked.
I don't see the problem everyone has with Landsberg.... Maybe I just haven't seen the interviews where he fucks up or insults people? But he's go the right questions and I'm surprised the guys aren't afraid to answer.
I think the problem with him is he keep cutting people off, for me I was interested on what these interviewees have to say.But he cut these ppl off with another good questions so I guess that's ok.
Heyman and Bischoff can work together in spite of their past because THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS! Just like Russo and Cornette. Just like many normal people who hate each other among the cubicles in some big office. What is this being humbled shit?
I think he's a good interviewer. He's trying to get as much content from these interviews as possible, so he has tries to go through a lot of subjects.
And at the least, he's not babying these guys and would actually try to challenge them on some points. Like Ric Flair talking shit about Bret.
yeah but he's wayy to much of an instigator and has to be careful in making sure his jokes don't come off the wrong, like when he tried to play off that JR got Heyman fired in WCW
I agree. Landsberg's show isn't very long, so he gets as much content as possible. Also, he's not afraid to piss off the guest with a hard question. I think part of it comes from his ego, but you have to have an ego if you want to be on television in my opinion.
its amazing that RF video or one of these other companies havent done a shoot tape with paul heyman, for all the talk of paul fuckign over guys with pay, still and all, paul seems unable to want to bullshit when it comes to backstage politics and why some guys arent pushed and others are, you could tell when it came to why jericho and van damm not gettign pushed that paul wanted to say more but he knew if it did he'd get shit for it back at wwe
r u dumb all king does is scream like a boy who hasnt hit puberty yet, heymasn actually talked bout the storys and the reasoning behind things, omg heyman was better dude at broadcasting
If heyman wanted to, he could set up his own wrestling fed again, hire someone to sort out financies etc, all that stuff.....guaranteed that that his new company would become huge. Start off small but with his genius ideas and listening to the fans.....it would be huge.
Lol at Heyman lying about hiring Jericho. Jericho himself said Heyman avoided calls, and it took him a YEAR to contact him, let alone get a job. And it was Mick Foley who helped get him in too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What the hell is going on here? Why did you people give thumbs down to thebottomline on this comment, he's right Heyman couldn't sniff King's jock at the broadcast table.
I mean, what is going on here, I feel like I'm in a twilight zone or something I feel weird and like something bizarre is going on right now.

I'm surprised that he had such harsh words for Cornette...Cornette pretty much is the one that got him over in NWA/WCW with the original midnight express angle that was a huge draw for Starrcade 88...I wish they'd have spoken more about his relationship with Jim Cornette because I remember that feud even 22 years after the fact and it's one of the things that really got me into wrestling.

DJglasgowSon 1 year ago
At 3:57 Lansberg talks about Mark Calloway (Undertaker) saying who was the most disappointment to him and he said Big Show. I found that interesting. Cause Paul could not think of a wrestler who had a lot of talent that the company did not use right. One guy that comes to mind for me is Kane. He has had the World Title for a day, back when he beat Austin. Now when you look at Kane he is a pushover now. It is to bad cause he use to be one bad ass mother fucker that the fans really did like.

I never understood how people say Kane has dovetailed so much. Sure he isn't depicted as the unstoppable monster he used to be but he still gets decent mid-card to top mid-card feuds and comes off looking strong in matches. He KO'd the intercontinental champion Drew McIntyre for a spot in the MITB match for goodness sake. Plus he doesn't LIKE being champion, so he doesn't win any titles often.

wwe or tna should employ him right now, wrestling needs paul heyman,wrestling is stale and who creates new stars these days?
kelso120 2 years ago
Heyman is over rated as a booker. Heyman recycles a few old Memphis things and pretends they are revolutionary and new and once you have watched Heyman's stuff for a while it gets really predictable. Heyman does not work or play well with others, especially women, so he is no good as part of a team and is hard to handle. The bottom line is $ and Heyman has not made $ as a booker (ECW never made money), so nobody is wild to let Heyman run their company.
MRobert21 1 year ago
you may have a point of heyman not playing well with others, but ecw was robbed of there talant in a regular basis, heyman created new stars with little money, tna are paying hogan and co a lot of cash to run tna and there track record is the shits,at least when heyman was booking smackdown a few years ago for a short while it was the best wrestling show on tv, wrestling today needs new stars not the same old faces.
kelso120 1 year ago
Every body remembers the great Heyman angles, but forgets the crap Heyman did, such as crucifictions and breaking Dreamer's fingers. Every body says Heyman built stars, but forget idiotic gimmicks Heyman did like the Musketeer and Judge Jeff Jones. Heyman's talent decisions were suspect with infinite pushes for duds like Justin Credible and Rhino. Heyman cheated and went to war with TNN, which is now Spike and partially owns TNA, so there is no chance in hell they would ever let Heyman in TNA
MRobert21 1 year ago
ur right there is no chance spike tv will employ heyman, but when it comes to talant getting a chance in ecw, what about raven, the dudleys, rey mystero,chris jericho,eddie guerrero,steve austin,lita,rvd,shane douglas, and that is just a few. i do admit at the end of ecw he pushed a few people that wouldnt have been there. but that when his top talant were in wcw or wwf.
kelso120 1 year ago
Most of the people you mention were stars before and after they were in ECW not just because of ECW. Douglas and Raven were total wastes of time since they ran out on ECW and never got over any place with out ECW over pushing. Heyman always made dumb decisions like World champions Whipwreck and Grandpa Funk. Heyman always pushed a lot of duds like the Harris Twins and pretty much any WWF or WCW cast off he could get his hands on who would agree to stay around ECW for a while. Heyman = over rated
MRobert21 1 year ago
wwe and wcw have both made bad decisions when it comes to champions, for eg vince mcmahon as wwf champ and ddp as wcw champ. austin was fired by wcw and wwf didnt want him, the others i mentioned and you can add beniot to the list,, wwf and wcw wouldnt give them a chance. and what about the people that had no talant yet had good carears because of heyman. people like the sandman, newjack and public enemy. they were the shits. wwf and wcw both found out without heyman they were worthless
kelso120 1 year ago
WWF wanted Austin from the start, which is why Austin only had a couple of ECW matches and refused to take the ECW title because he knew Ross was going to get him in the big time once his arm was healed. WWF and WCW wanted Benoit before ECW and made him offers, but Benoit was making more cash in Japan at that time. WWF has been around for decades and not made as many mistakes with its main title as Heyman had with dud champions like Credible and Awesome and WCW only got bad their last 2 years
MRobert21 1 year ago
Austin only wrestled a few times in ecw because he was injured, heyman worked with him in wcw and knew he was a good talker, some of his interveiws in ecw were his best he ever done, u should check them out, beniot had a few try outs with wwf but was never offerd a job. mike Awesome could have been a great wrestler but he sold out to wcw and they done nothing with him whats so ever.u should check out his matches from ecw and japan, credible was ok but he was only there at the end of ecw.
kelso120 1 year ago
I have seen all the Austin promos in ECW and I know all about his time there. Austin was healthy when he started wrestling in ECW, he just refused to be ECW champion and wrestle more than a couple of matches because his goal from the time he got himself fired from WCW was to go to WWF. Watch the Benoit Hard Knocks box set where Benoit says he was offered a WWF job, but they could not pay him enough to take it. Aldo Montoya and his jock strap as well as the Fat Chick Thriller with the belt sucked
MRobert21 1 year ago
i think your mixing up briann pillman and austin, brian pillman got himself fired from wcw and his plan was to go to wwf. austin was really injured when wcw fired him. thats why he was so pissed off. Jr got him the job in wwf. as for awsome wcw paid a lot of cash to buy out his contract and did nothing with him. credible was only there at the end when everybody knew it was over. you think heyman is over rated, i think wrestling needs him today. just end it at that. nothing is going to change.
kelso120 1 year ago
Austin got himself fired from WCW the same way he got himself fired from WWF for a while where he took his ball and went home because he was not getting his way. Austin was still supposed to show up to TV and make appearances, but he refused to, so WCW had to can him. Rhyno was the last guy when ECW was dead and Credible was pushed to the moon over RVD and others while there was still life in ECW. Awesome did not have a contract with ECW to buy out as he says on his RF Video shoot interview.
MRobert21 1 year ago
this is the last am going to say on the issue. everyting vince mcmahon says isnt true the same with the shoot interveiws. wcw had to pay ecw 200 thousand dollers for awsome, that is fact and is written in many different wrestling books. u think he is over rated i think wrestling needs him today, just end it at that. there is no point going back anf fourth of this issue.
kelso120 1 year ago
I will take the word of the guy who was there over you and your anonymous books. Awesome did not have a signed contract with ECW or else it would have been illegal for WCW to even talk to Awesome (I have a Master's degree in sports management, so I know this stuff way better than you). Most of what McMahon says is true compared to know nothing smarks and dirt sheets. If wrestling needed Heyman now he would have a job some place in wrestling, which he does not and probably will not again.
MRobert21 1 year ago
the discusion is over, we have different opinionsd get over it. move on. although heyman isnt employed by a wrestling comopany is because he is finished with wrestling, and wwf is a kids show, and tna vince russo, hogan are running the show. but lets move on. and leave it at that
kelso120 1 year ago
I thought you said this discussion was over and you said the last you were going to say several messages ago. Heyman is not employed by WWF because he is a paranoid maniac who was spying on other people's telephone calls and he can not work well with others (especially not women in power). Heyman is not in TNA for the same reasons and because he has bad mouthed every body who runs TNA at some point. If you want Heyman booking, then watch UFC because he has said he wants wrestling to be MMA
MRobert21 1 year ago
Im sure guys like Dreamer and Sandman having no success had NOTHING to do with them being buried in the mid-card at best or at worst given a gimmick where they eat gross crap then get beat up by Undertaker for no reason
If we want to talk about a lack of talent holding guys back why do Cena Batista and Khali still on TV?Those shmucks wouldnt have been fit to shine the Great Ones boots in 97-04
TrollCapAmerica 1 year ago
The sandman never had to do that stuff. The sandman had a good gimmick and he could connect with the audience but he wasn't a great wrestler.
Thats why in ECW his entrance would last5 or 6 minutes and his matches woud only take half that time. Heyman was once again hiding the Sandmans flaws to improve the product. In WCW the Sandmans gimmick was somewhat unentertaining and his career stalled because of it.
noimagination68 1 year ago
Im not gonna disagree you but honestly did any of the ECW guys have a real shot in hell in WWF besides Van Dam?I mean if they can take a career mid-carder with a "lookie me i dont know what race I am just like eminem" and pretend hes world champ material couldnt they have done something better with Tommy Dreamer than making him eat wads of gross stuff?
Thw WCW problem probably had more to do with WCW being complete ass from 98 onward.The Rock couldnt have saved WCW

@noimagination68 no way! the sandman is a legend ,dude.

njchampion 1 year ago
@njchampion
I actually think that Heyman should have sued WWE for gimmick infringement. My point was that the Sandman wasn't a polished wrestler. Like Bret Hart, Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle. The amount of chair shots he (stupidly) took to the head doesn't factor in to that. Heyman knew his stars strengths and the Sandman's strength was his gimmick. He could connect with an audience and obviously you. Just don't expect any 5* matches out of him and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
noimagination68 1 year ago
@noimagination68 ok dude but try to not insult what other people 's likes or not.for example extremists really likes chairshots directly on wrestlers heads,extremists admires real sacrifices in the name of the extreme .predeterminated sport with more real damage for wrestlers is what extremists wrestling fans likes.i get your point for sandman "stupidity" that's what you think cuz he obviously was not obliged to take directly chairshots with no hands .
njchampion 1 year ago
@noimagination68 but i repeat myself is what extremists wrestling fans really
likes.sacrifices .
it's obvious that he is not kurt angle it's not a technical wrestler,but he deserves a lot of respect from all the wrestling fans even who likes only technical wrestling.i'm outta here
njchampion 1 year ago
@njchampion I never said that the Sandman didnt deserve respect. Anyone who is willing to be on the road 300 days a year for their craft deserves nothing less. My point was (probably, I mean it was a longish time ago) about concussions caused from a direct chairshots to the head. You can probably link many of the pre-50 wrestler deaths to those concussions. If the extremists like it or not the wrestlers life must surely come before a fans enjoyment. The WWE knows this now, and have banned them.

@andre30032002 i don`t think that is quite right.... Vince did get a lot of ideas from ECW... in my opinion that`s the main reason as to why he brought them in back in 96, to take a close look at them and get some ideas from something that was working.... but the whole "attitude era" is nothing more than a catch phrase... he got some ideas from ECW and he convined them with his own... like making an nWo type of group (DX) or running with Austin`s character that became so popular out of nowhere..
CactusG26 7 months ago
@andre30032002 I think the attitude era happened because Vince Russo as the guy in charge of all the Kayfabe, thought that was the Best way to compete with WCW in the ratings. They experimented with characters such as Stone Cold, Nation of Domination, D.O.A., D.X. and The Corporation and saw immediate results. The whole Rebelious Gang Mentality aka the "Attitude Era" saved the former "WWF" from going bankrupt. As for ECW, they were a tiny spec in the business and the Least of McMahon's concerns.
