Top 5 best storytellers in WWE today

#3 Paul Heyman

Ent — Ladies and gentlemen, this man knows how to sell and tell the story.

For over 3 decades, Paul Heyman has been a constant source of pure entertainment. Regardless of the time or the promotion, Heyman has been able to adapt and excel in any environment.

For the past few years, Paul has been the mouthpiece for Brock Lesnar and if we are honest with ourselves, Lesnar would be very boring without Paul in his corner. Paul has a unique gift that allows him to hone into what the fanbase wants and he then delivers like no one else.

What makes Paul Heyman so great, is his ability to take any storyline and sell it to the masses better than anyone who has ever held a microphone. One of the best examples of that is the Wrestlemania 30 showdown between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. In the weeks leading up to that epic encounter, Heyman sold the story in a way that made fans believe we were about to witness something truly special...which was exactly what happened.
