5 qualities that you need to have to be a Paul Heyman guy

#5 Be Entertaining

Rob Van Dam first came to the forefront in Paul Heyman’s ECW

Now, don’t get me wrong. You can be unique but you can also be boring at the same time. Just because you’re a unique wrestler doesn’t mean I want to spend my precious time watching you. I have a Maximum Sweat Mankind figure that my friend Charlie Kasov got me for my 13th birthday that i want nothing to do with. I don’t want anything to do with Charlie anymore either, and it’s that “unique” abortion of a toy that did us in.

However, if you’re unique and entertaining then you definitely qualify as a Paul Heyman Guy. It’s the number one prerequisite. Hold a live crowd of thousands and millions of households in the palm of your sports entertainer hands, using any of the previously mentioned skills. Mic skills, pure wrestling skills, distinct look or whatever your specialty is.

If you can stand out as an entertainer in the ‘land of sports entertainment’, Paul probably already has your number. But, it’s not a guarantee (Hi, Ryback). It’s the only place to start, though.
