Paul Heyman has been a central figure in WWE for decades, known for managing some of the biggest names in the business. But not everyone thinks hes using that platform to elevate the next generation. The criticism? Heyman only attaches himself to talent who are already at the top, rather than helping develop new stars who could actually benefit from his presence.
Former WWE writer Vince Russo didnt hold back during a recent RussosBrand.com segment, accusing Heyman of playing it safe and avoiding the challenge of building someone from the ground up.
He didnt stop there. Russo called for WWE to stop handing Heyman easy assignments and start using him as a tool to boost underutilized stars.
Then he listed what he sees as the same tired formula over and over again.
Russo made it clear: if WWE really wants to prove Paul Heyman is as good as people say, they should throw him into the deep end with a struggling midcard act and see if he can actually help build a new star from scratch.
Vince might be stirring the pot, but hes asking the kind of questions fans and insiders alike have been thinking for a whilehas Heyman become more of a crutch than a catalyst?
