Paul Heyman will likely be best remembered for his time as the mastermind behind ECW's rise to prominence, during which time he took a group of outcasts, gave them a global platform to display their skills, and watched them become stars. Heyman had the audacity to believe in people whom other had previously turned them and before you knew it, the entire wrestling work was chanting "ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!..."
In recent years, Paul Heyman has spent his time reinventing himself for the purpose of representing the biggest name in wrestling today, Brock Lesnar. Heyman has been the driving force in Lesnar's latest surge as the now former WWE Universal Champion.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
