  • Words to live by.

  • Great man & great visions. Hope one day he comes back to WWE or join TNA either way he has game changing ideas that the wrestling world needs.

  • Heyman Is a genius of the business,but at the same time one of the reasons ECW failed was because they weren't making enough money. Every time they produced good wrestlers they lost them to WCW and WWF cause they offered them more. Heyman had fun with it but sometimes you have to know when to change your philosophy if you want to survive. McMahon realized that before everybody. Old WWF was family friendly, he knew that if he was to survive against WCW he needed to change that's why we were bles

  • 2 people FEAR FAILURE!!!!! Lol!

  • PAUL RULES

  • TNA should sack Russo and employ Heyman,

  • hey tna take notes on paul E

  • this is the guy who sold off the ECW .....

  • This is from "The Rise & Fall of ECW" DVD. If anybody wants a good wrestling documentary then you should pick up this DVD because it's the best wrestling documentary DVD in the past decade. It came out in 2004.

  • too bad he was bad with finances but i heard him and tod gordon are doing something special. cud it be the new ecw?

  • @SimplyPhenomenal7 He needs to employ a marketing manager, finance manager and let him get on with running the company

  • great sentiments from Paul E. It's very very true.

  • that idiot was sitting on a fucking gold mine and now its gone..

  • @Frequent2001 That company should have been what WWE was in 1998! Only problem I think though maybe I'm wrong??! hey but I felt there was nothing to keep me watching, there was wrestlers in WWE 1998 doing the similar stuff but storys that made us glued to it! ECW I felt didn't offer that? Sure it was more about the wrestling but sometimes they had to give and take?

  • Everything that this man says in this speech is damn true its not wrestling advice its life advice. Paul you were the best.

  • this isn't wrestling, it's life advice.

  • A great advise too live by.

    With the years keep passing by,

    all we, the wrestling fans, have left is this dvd and few other dvds to remind us when Pro' Wrasslin' was great. Nothing will ever compare to my childhood memories with my closest friends and I watching watch WWF, WCW, and ECW.

  • wrestling is fake, i just like the games like wrestle mania 19

  • i can understand that people can be pissed off with vince. but at the end of the day, where would wrestling be without him the last 20 years.

  • Paul didnt sell out. He fought till the end when ECW CLOSED. Bankrupt. WWE/F was paying for most of the air time ECW had for a long time. Vince even said he wanted ECW to succeed. Then stole its main talent.

    And to dog a man because he failed? That not just low, but retarded. Everyone fails, including you. So knock you childish shit off.

    Dont blame Paul. Vince bastardized ECW, not Paul.

  • paul heyman ran out of money you dickhead! i dont know if you know this but money a long way in the creation of a business. ecw failed because it wasn't funded. you pay alot of money to get a tv show which was never advertised, so how are people supposed to know when to watch it? and one last thing no one had a chance against wwf in the 90's and early millenium it was to good and vince done good. they ran out of money get over it. get your facts straight before you start shooting dickhead!

  • its a shame he cant buy it back

  • I'm sick and tired of Vince McMahon he has ruin wrestling in every way.

    He brought WCW and turn it into crap.

    he got rid of the WWF logo

    He bought ECW and turn it into crap

    He makes real talent job to losers

    and now he has the PG era.

    Vince made it clear that he doesn't care about his fans period. Vince sucks period and should quit and do something else because the real fans are sick and tired of this guy.

  • whats a real fan????????you mean the ones that are never happy....!!!!

  • Real fans will be happy if they see more realistic matches and less staged matches, less storylines, less talk, and less gimmicks.

  • well i been watching wrestling since 92 and its always been like that

  • Really?

  • @grundy901 exactly grundy real fans are the ones who complain and dont kiss vince mcmahons ass and accept his bullshit

  • @stojy161994 lol i cant remeber what i said enlighten me lol

  • @stojy161994 read the comment about wrestling fans

  • OH MY BROTHER TESTIFY!!!!!

  • WCW sucked ass way before vince bought it and had the invasion angle.

    He owned it for 1 nitro, which was probably the best one they had in years.

  • what do you mean he got rid of the wwf logo? they had to they lost a batlle against the world wildlife fund (WWF) and had no choice but to change the name. get your facts straight before you start shooting!

  • @HotMan660 it went pg because of john cena and the new generation of wrestling fans. so techinically he is does care about the fans....just the new faggots of the pg era. yeah he left the attitude era fans and back in the dust, but its all about money, something vince cant seem to get enough of. triple h is gonna take over soon, and when he does, hopefully he can deliver crap better than what we have now

  • those are words to live by

  • Words of wisdom from the greatest wrestling mind to have ever lived.

  • amen

  • one of the best videos on youtube.... thanks for sharing (y)

    btw... it was a treat to have had Paul in the wrestling business. Those times with WCW, ECW and WWF all competing eachother were magic

  • Thanks Paul.  I'll live with those words and execute them.

  • No your wrong, WWE wouldn't be sweating bullets if Paul Heyman got back into wrestling and chose to make another promotion.

    Tna would be afraid of him, WWe would be shitting themselves and doing everything to demoralise him and so would TNA so what would Paul do?

    Go public to his audience and show them what shoot really is! The wrestling world should be guided by a Paul heyman would had someone else handle the fincial side.

    That would kill off WWE.

  • If heyman just could've found some solid financial backing I honestly believe ECW could've whooped WCW&WWF"s ass.

    Everytime ecw got a little momentum wwf or wcw swept in and stole some of their better talent. That never would've happened if Paul E had financial backing like TNA has with Panda Energy.

    IMO what really killed ecw was poor buisness management and a lack of advertising.

  • Heyman is a genius! Here is a guy who started with nothing, and came up with something and capivated so many fans!

    Thanks for uploading, great clip from an awesome movie! ECW 4 life! I don't mean the new crap either.

  • Love this clip, gotta agree with PIV \/\/

  • Great message to take on in any walk of life. Thank you Paul.

  • This is just a great way to live your life. Forget wrestling, ECW, Monday Night Wars, WWE or TNA. If you take this advice you will be extremely happy

  • The Rise & Fall OF ECW

  • knowing what the old ECW was like it seems the WWE are trying to destroy it by "re-creating" it

  • god this depresses the hell out of me....wwe is out of control...and their raping ecw now...

  • i must cry when i see this :(

  • Paul Hayman needs to not give up, he can make a difference anyone that's with me can put WWE down. it will work if everyone sees how crappy WWE is. Hey folks, wrestling shouldn't have to be so boring come on wake up, watch the old ECW videos before Vince bought it. I hate Vince McMahon and if you like this guy, you suck as well, hate him. send me a message back please. Beth Phoenix better be reading this too because. Beth Phoenix, if you see this you better quit WWE now WWE sucks listen to me.

  • WWE fans, do not buy tickets to watch Raw, ECW, or Smackdown nothing from WWE it just sucks man I'm tired of this crap. Real fans, if you don't like it, don't buy tickets or watch it on TV then. And for those that think WWE is great, your wrong, you see, Vince McMahon brainwashed you fans with his crap we don't want. Ask Paul Hayman if you see him, he'll tell you the same thing too.

    Wake up everyone, WWE sucks it just sucks period so don't buy tickets.

  • I wish Parents wouldn't allow children to watch fake wrestling who cares if real wrestling is violent please who cares I think kids rather sneak Rated M for Mature games then to watch this WWE fake crap. There's just nothing like the real thing. Vince sucks so bad he's a selfish man that only cares about is money please I hope people go crazy and leave out of nowhere away from WWE.

    Stop watching this crap please listen to me. I'm here to save you all from WWE. Darn Vince McLoser. WWE sucks.

  • in England we got ECW on a two year delay (no kidding) on Bravo but i loved it anyway as far as the casual fan knew they didnt go out of bussiness till 2003 at which point Heyman and most of the others had been on WWE for two years lol, ECW was fucking great, it really sucks now though no disrespect to Kane and Chavo theyre both talented but theyre just not talented in an ECW sort of way, todays show sucks, just another reason why WWE is the laughing stock of the stock market world.

  • Paul didn't fear bouncing checks to guys that needed to feed thier families. What a great guy!

  • To be honest most of those same guys said if Paul started another promotion they'd go to him again.

    Tazz even said "Paul Heyman didn't owe me a single dime. He made sure I got paid and was taken care of."

    Believe me, if Heyman started another promotion right now? WWE would be sweating bullets.

  • I'd love to see heyman booking for TNA or ring of honor

    could you imagine what heyman could've done with guys like homicide,low ki, samoa joe etc in ECW

  • sucess is the ultimative goal

  • you're so right man

  • Erinnert mich an den berühmten Pianisten Petiet - vom Aussehen

  • Growing up, I watched ECW when I could. Living in Vancouver Canada that's hard to do, sometimes it would come on at 8 PM, sometimes it would be on at 11 AM, and the channel regularly changed. That being said whenever I saw it on I would ALWAYS watch it no matter what becuase even at the age of fucking TEN I knew I was going to get a damn good show. Now can I say the same thing about WWE? Hell could I even say the same thing about the WWF during the attitude era? No. Paul E is the fucking man.

  • I live in philly... And it was the same here lol it would vary 8 oclock 9 11 12 2 it was crazy. Most of the time in the beginning of ECW it was on channel G or GW48 and the channel use to be a lil fuzzt 4 some reason.

  • hell yea GW48 ... you'd see like 3 matches then Joey would comment afterwards then you'd see when they'd be @ the ECW arena next time... I was only like 14 myself haha.

  • ECW sucks without heyman now....

  • absolutely!!!

  • Honestly the same people who go around talking about how they want ECW back and blah blah,well yeah most of you didnt even watch ECW when it was around. And no I'm not talking about this lame ass shit that Vince Mcmahon has on Tuesdays.But honestly the same people who say that ECW is so much better...well yeah are the exact same as the people who always say how WCW was so much better. Well hey news flash...WCW IS DEAD,ECW IS DEAD,and honestly whether you want to admit it or not WWF is still here

  • You are correct. I see people who complain about ECW not being the same, I check thier profiles and they are 16 year olds and shit. Just get over it. It is the past.

  • Amen Brother Amen!

  • maybe if paul didnt fire todd gorden old ecw would still be here maybe it wouldve thin out a lil

  • paul the man

    VINCE SUX!!

    but i like raaw

    BUT ECW 4 LYF

    SABU!!

    SANDMAN!!

    DREAMER!!

    VAN DAMN!!

    U GUYS ROK!!

  • Paul you Best Gm in ECW you Rulz!

  • man he was thin back then, lol., we want you back paul!

  • And one more thing, when a segment involves Armando Estrada booking a match or anything else that includes him, apart from booing him, please chant this: "We want Heyman"

  • If someone goes to an ECW event, please chant the following: "We want Heyman" maybe with that chant Vince McMahon will rehire him again to come back to the ECW brand.

  • What is so great about what he says here is it just does not apply to just wrestling, but to life. I for one try to live by these words everyday.

  • I concur

  • this is awsome, WWE is still better than TNA by far

  • Paul Heyman is what makes wrestling great.

  • Strong words for the wise from a truly intelligent man.

    God bless Paul E.

  • @JoeytheHDK I love everything he's ever done! ECW ECW!

  • Paul Heyman is without a doubt a genius, but he risked too much. LOL! I mean, you have to be a very crazy person to allow what he allowed in ECW. From the New Jack incidents, to the balls-out performances of boys. I must admit, if I were a promoter, I'd be so fucking scared as to let one of my guys do anything that ECW did. Though, these are the very risks that made ECW what it is. The Renegades! Thanx Paul E, crazy ass! LOL!

  • God bless this genius...

  • Thats really true what he said ist motivate me more mand more

  • i have lived by that since the 1st time i heard it. btw this was on the rise and fall of ecw and if you havent bough it as it is the best dvd wwe ever produced! nuff said!

  • Very true what he said

  • that is quite inspiring actually!!

  • Dude TNA is better then the WWE.. I know i got vids about WWE, but there not exactly pro WWE..

  • this video doesn't work :( must be my PC... my PC is retarded

  • one of the best speeches ive ever heard

  • i love that speech so muchh.

     x

  • I love this speech. Its such a shame the real ECW isn't around today :(

  • I remember this from The Rise & Fall of ECW.

  • Failure isn't that bad when it's your parents money you're pissing away, huh Paul?

  • paul is at home i heard they were going to bring him back but i dont know when.

  • Yeah, should only generalize to one type of fan base. You have smackdown and RAW witch are generalized to everyones so called Liking when you can have ECW the Hardcore Brand, but nott he has got to make the network happy.. Its a no win situation.. He is better off to bring back WCW in stead..

  • no keep both ecw and wcw buried and concentrate on the real enemy TNA

  • wow this my friend is the Rise and fall of ECW!!! what u know we will be talking about this for generations to come. I truely think that Vince did the stupidest thing in the world by trying to bring back ECW, Cause it showed how stupid Vince is and now most of the Phili Wrestling fans are more interested in TNA now. Witch is sad, but hey Paul will have the last laugh when WWE falls..

  • Vince is running ECW the way he told Paul E to run ECW. Generalize it. Reach out to everyone.

    You know what you get when you take what ECW used to be and 'generalize' it? RAW is WAR. Not to be confused with Monday Night RAW that we must be subjected to weekly, of course. I mean back when RAW was good.

  • Hay Man! Where the hell is Heyman?!

  • He may of been a bad businessman but he is one hell of a booker.

  • thank you...5/5

  • i agree with EdgeOfXtreme, i would pay to say tht to tht slimeballs face, i hate him for what he has done to mainstream WRESTLING. Join the revolution known as TNA WRESTLING.

  • one of the poorest produced and financially weak companies but still we talk about it today.

    how is that bad business?

  • He did not kill ECW. He MADE ECW. Turner killed ECW

  • paul heyman speaks the truth

  • one of the best minds the business has ever seen. Great message as well.

  • does any one no the song thats being played in the background

  • tna is good but i hate the story lines

  • WOW!

  • This is actually a good message for people.

  • you guys are getting off track,thisis a true lesson in life,if you love what you want to do then risk it all the way,take a chance and don't be afraid about failing.

  • If TNA was to ever sign Paul Heyman, it'd make the company even better! I mean I love watching TNA for the wrestling, but my god are the storylines absolutely horrid!

  • man this was an Inspirational video thanks paul E for bringing ecw in to our lives

  • i think the original ecw was better than wcw and tna

  • better than WCW/TNA combined, ricane89!! ECW ECW ECW

  • One word: Inspirational

  • Here here

  • Paul Heyman is released from WWE. How could this happen?

  • Vince blamed him 4 the ECW ppv N THERE-4 dismissed him.

    (i read that he's in talx with TNA AS WE SPEAK.)

  • he isnt in talks with tna, but he does wanna go to hollywood to pitch some movie scripts he has written

  • he is still under contract, its now a tough choice for vince

    a. buy out his contract

    b. let him sit home while under contract for 9 months

  • Paul is a great man! Cant wait to see what he does NEXT!!!!

  • He's not going to do anything as long as he is under McMahons thumb. I feel bad for him, he gets to "run" ECW, but he can only do stuff if Vince says it's ok. Vince isn't going to "ok" anything that will show-up the WWE product, and if any ECW guys were to start making money he'd pull them for SmackDown or Raw. LONG LIVE TNA, DEATH TO THE MCMAHONS

  • Very,ture which is why he never be fired from the company.

  • words of inspiration from the TRUE guineus of professional wrestling

  • What Paul Heyman accomplished with ECW was incredible. Ahtahs is completely right. Heymam should do booking he's a genious.

  • vince is so scared to put him as writer/booker of ANY brand, let alone ECW, because he knows he will succeed.

  • @Ahtahs Paul was the booker of Smackdown! from 2002 to 2006

    brought him as ECW booker and representative until McMahon took over the ECW booking

  • @15HDTv That is why Smackdown was the best out of the lot! lesnar, angle, taker

  • that´s right man
