5 signs that prove Monday Night RAW is the new 'Land of Opportunity'

#1 Paul Heyman

Exciting times.

Paul Heyman is a genius. There are no two ways about it. He knows how to run a successful wrestling show. If ECW was not proof enough, Heyman created one of the greatest periods in SmackDown history. From mid-2002 to just before WrestleMania XIX, the Blue brand was at its hottest.

Heyman was instrumental in shaping the careers of many world-class Superstars, including Edge, Kurt Angle and the rest of the 'SmackDown Six'. The talent currently on RAW is reminiscent of what he had back then, with a fair few of them already enjoying the spotlight.

Heyman has always been in touch with the times and is the perfect man to be the Executive Director of RAW. Aside from that one dramatic soap opera storyline, the Advocate's booking is generally consistent and suits the star-making culture that WWE so badly needs right now.

Heyman can do wonders with what he has right now and provided he gets enough creative freedom, Monday nights could become great once again. The aforementioned bunch of former NXT Champions is in good hands with Heyman at the helm. He is the personification of 'Land of Opportunity'.

It is one thing to have a roster filled with potential, but you need a good leader to run things. That is what Paul Heyman brings to the table. He possesses one of the most creative minds in wrestling and as long as he is in charge, Monday Night RAW will be the 'Land of Opportunity'.
