5 Things Paul Heyman does better than Vince McMahon

#1 Lets stars be themselves

Sure, Vince McMahon has created some of the most enduring characters in wrestling history. But at the same time, a lot of his characters have been so cartoonish and over-the-top that many stars have felt that it wasn't really a reflection of the people that they truly are.

Paul Heyman has an innate ability to let superstars be themselves. It is a well-known fact that he took 'Stunning' Steve Austin, who had recently been fired from WCW and asked him to be himself and cut a promo airing out all of his grievances, which became the foundation for what became Stone Cold.

You often hear about stars like Jon Moxley being asked to cut promos saying stuff they don't believe in. Heyman understands that sometimes you just need to let a star be themselves, in order to succeed.

Look at what he did with Punk.
