History YMMV / PaulHeyman

* AuthorAppeal: Since he took creative control of Raw, there has been a marked increase in storylines involving married superstars getting cheated on by their wives. This is apparently inspired by the marital troubles of some of Heyman’s many friends.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: On the fifth episode of ''ECW Hardcore TV'' April 5 (taped April 2), 1993, Paul E. cut [[http://www.cagematch.net/?id=93&nr=32 this promo, where he said he was "determined to make Tod Gordon a broke man."]]

* MagnificentBastard: Both onscreen and off. Face it, this man is a legit evil genius.
** When Heyman knew one of his rookie wrestlers would get booed, he called him "Danny Doring" so he could pretend the "BORING" chants were pops for him.
** When the ring broke at ''Hardcore Heaven'' '96, Paul requested that Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya perform a striptease to pass the time as the ring got fixed, a fairly common occurrence at ECW. Only problem is that Wanalaya made him promise (which, as we've learned in this article, is [[ILied not a wise thing to do]]) that it wouldn't air on TV. It ended up [[LoopholeAbuse in an ECW commercial and on VHS.]]
** By various accounts, Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon and Michael Hayes were been reported to have blocked Heyman from rejoining the creative team in past years, claiming they caught him raiding their ideas for [=SmackDown=]. Paul [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw7l8tDDqaE protested]] that he ''never'' eavesdropped on Vince and Stephanie's meetings...[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne that week]].

** MY CLIENT, BROCK LESNAR, CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S UNDEFEATED STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA!
** Brock... Lesnar... Is... The... One... In... Twenty... One... And... One!
*** I...am...the...one...behind...the...one...in...twenty...one...and...one!
* TakeThatScrappy: Delivers a scathing one to Wrestling/JinderMahal during the October 23rd Raw during a promo where he accepts Mahal's offer to challenge Brock at Survivor Series (2017).
* XanatosGambit: He analyzed this beautifully during his guest appearance at ''[[Wrestling/WWEFastlane Fastlane 2017]]'' with regards to the Universal Championship match between Kevin Owens and Goldberg, his client, Brock Lesnar’s eventual opponent at Wrestlemania 33.

* FridgeBrilliance: During his "rap" to Wrestling/JohnCena, he stated that Cena doesn't like Paul Heyman Guys because he finds their attitudes too smug. Wrestling/CMPunk and Wrestling/BrockLesnar have both feuded with Cena in heated on-screen rivalries both with and without Heyman by their side, and have both gone ScrewThisImOuttaHere on the company in real life, while Cena seems to treat the WWE brand as well as his status as its face like a holy grail of sorts. Furthermore, Cena's feuded with Heyman guys on-screen since his 2003 ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' face turn.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: His real life bond and loyalty towards Brock cannot be overstated.
** Combined with a {{Tearjerker}} on October 22, 2018: After Roman Reigns drops the bombshell that he has leukemia and relinquishes the Universal Championship, Heyman comes out to the ring and solemnly pays tribute to the man's courage and strength of will, saying that it's humbling to have been in the locker room in the presence of such an IronWoobie. The backstage video shows Paul hugging Joe and assuring him "YouAreNotAlone". Knowing that Heyman is quite close to the Anoa'i family in real life and has known Joe since he was a young boy really hits home how personal the entire situation is for Paul Heyman.

* MostAnnoyingSound: He has a very…''distinctive'' voice, especially when he's on the microphone [[ChewingTheScenery having a goddamn buffet with the scenery]], and there are a plethora of fans that enjoy him. But when he's talking about, say, [[spoiler: how his client Brock Lesnar broke Undertaker's streak,]] there is a primal urge within you to imagine wringing his neck. In fact, it's the only consistent way people can actually boo him after [[spoiler:he became Cesaro's manager]].
