The World's Largest Athlete has also been a Paul Heyman guy, and at a very crucial stage of his career. Being a real-life giant, one would expect that life in WWE was easy for Big Show, but such was not the case as he was often used as a laughingstock in early 2000s.

The destiny for the Giant changed when he was shifted to SmackDown to challenge the then "undefeated" Brock Lesnar. At the 2002 edition of Survivor Series, Show became the first man to defeat Lesnar, also winning the WWE Championship in this process.

Heyman, in many ways, was responsible for his rebirth as a top Superstar.

#5 Curtis Axel

Being the son of the legendary Mr. Perfect, wrestling was in the blood of Michael McGillicutty aka Curtis Axel. Having the looks and skills to become a huge star, WWE showed immense faith in him by making him a Paul Heyman guy.

With Heyman by his side, Axel went on to win the Intercontinental Championship in 2013. Unfortunately, Heyman took a break and everything went downhill for Axel after that.

Currently, he is a part of the SmackDown Live roster, working as a tag team alongside Bo Dallas. The two have had a reign as the RAW Tag Team Champions, but the future doesn't look so bright for them.
