Heyman & Lesnar is a fantastic combination

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar have been great friends for nearly 15 years now, ever since they were first paired together during Brock's first run with the company.

They have collaborated on a number of different fronts over the years, and Paul seems like one of the few people who can really say that he's a person who has made an impact on Lesnar's life, aside from his immediate family.

It's a special relationship, and it's a relationship that has helped Brock to maintain his status at the top of the WWE pyramid.

It's well known that after cutting a promo without Paul when returning in 2012, Brock demanded that Heyman be hired and without him maybe the Beast Incarnate would have had a short stay with the WWE.

We move onto something a little more personal that probably still hurts the former champion.
