Line #18 YMMV/PaulHeyman


1	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Monday Night Raw, November 4, 2019. After being bludgeoned mercilessly by a chair-wielding Wrestling/ReyMysterio at the ''Crown Jewel'' event several days before, Brock Lesnar was on a warpath looking for Rey. Eventually, Heyman and Lesnar tried to intimidate Wrestling/JerryLawler into disclosing Mysterio's whereabouts. As if a 290-pound ass-kicking machine threatening a man who's almost 70 wasn't in poor enough taste, Heyman crossed the line and then some by adding:
2	-->'''Heyman:''' Tell me where Rey Mysterio is, or I'm going to unleash The Beast on you, and if I unleash Brock Lesnar on you, no one will resuscitate you when you ''die'' on the air again.[[note]]In 2012, Lawler suffered a legitimate, non-{{kayfabe}} heart attack live on Raw, and CPR from WWE's medical team is possibly the only thing that kept him alive. He has since recovered fully[[/note]]
3	* DracoInLeatherPants: The "ECW" chants that accompanied his return to ''Raw'' in 2012 just prove that, no matter how great a heel he is or how much he enjoys the role, some people still love him no matter what. Quite an accomplishment considering that, in 2001, his back-stabbing, morally-bankrupt shyster character was precisely how RealLife wrestling fans viewed him.
4	* FanNickname: Fans tend to call Heyman "the Walrus" due to his stoutness.
5	* HarsherInHindsight: 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."]]
6	* HoYay: With a few guys he's managed in WWE. '''Especially''' Wrestling/{{Ryback}}.
7	* MemeticMutation:
8	** '''TAKES CHICKENSHIT > [[ImpossibleGenius MAKES CHICKEN SALAD]]'''
9	** "MY CLIENT, BROCK LESNAR, CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S UNDEFEATED STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA!"
10	** "Brock... Lesnar... Is... The... One... In... Twenty... One... And... One!"
11	*** "I...am...the...one...behind...the...one...in...twenty...one...and...one!"
12	** His tendency to carry the Universal Championship (and later the World Championship after the titles were unified) for Wrestling/RomanReigns has led to the ongoing internet joke that “Paul Heyman has held the Universal Championship longer than anyone in WWE history.”
13	* TakeThatScrappy: When he addressed Brock Lesnar's cross-brand opponent at ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2017'', WWE Champion Wrestling/JinderMahal; he stated that he proclaims Lesnar's opponents as {{Worthy Opponent}}s because anyone positioned to fight Lesnar must have something real to them... but [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Mahal is an exception]], as he and Lesnar don't consider Mahal a WorthyOpponent or even a worthy WWE Champion. This promo was such a rare return to Paul E.'s old-school scathing form that some believed Heyman was in part responsible for Mahal losing the WWE Championship to Wrestling/AJStyles before ''Survivor Series'' and thus changing the match to a dream-match scenario of Styles vs. Lesnar.
