Thank you #NewJersey. I would actually go public that I would love New Jersey with the exception of the fact ... um ... that it's in New Jersey! pic.twitter.com/b2UG9saF5r
If you are a fan of the Impact Wrestling product (which you should be, considering the quality of content that they're dishing out on a weekly basis), every time Tommy Dreamer or RVD steps out to compete, you have the crowd chant 'ECW'. This is amazing considering that the promotion shut down so many years ago. Paul Heyman created a gem that still lives on in the hearts and minds of fans.

At a time when AEW is trying to capture what is essentially the 'hardcore wrestling' fan base, Heyman is a great addition to the WWE think tank. This is because while he may not be a young man by any stretch of the imagination, he's far more in touch with what today's wrestling fan wants.
Vince McMahon likes to do things a certain way, which may seem outdated to some. Heyman has a goodwill among the hardcore crowd that will root for him to no end.
