Top 8 Paul Heyman promos of all-time

Paul Heyman is probably one of the best, if not the greatest workers on the mic in the WWE and in wrestling history.

The man oozes charisma and has time and time again shown the WWE Universe why he is one of the only managers/advocates still in the business today.

He certainly has been in the spotlight recently, what with all the tension between him and his client or soon to be former client Brock Lesnar.

The man put on a brilliant display of emotion and drama in his interview with Renee Young, re-affirming his status as the greatest non-wrestler on the mic.

Be it hyping up Brock Lesnar and the Beast's matches or verbally setting straight his client's opponents, Paul Heyman has done it all, mic in hand.

So without further ado, here are eight of Paul Heyman's best promos ever!

---

#8 The reason she said yes...

We start off nice and easy with a more recent promo featuring Paul Heyman and his client Brock Lesnar. It was the RAW before Survivor Series, November 13th, 2017 and Brock Lesnar was scheduled to face AJ Styles, which the Beast eventually won.

As Heyman was attempting to hype up the match and talk up his client, the WWE Universe began shouting, "She said yes!", which caught the attention of the two men in the ring. Heyman then proceeded to deliver one of his best insults to date.

He simply informed the WWE Universe and the man who had just proposed that the only reason his bride to be said 'yes', was because she had never been up close to a 'Beast' like Brock Lesnar.

He then continued to build up his client by suggesting that when someone interrupts his promo, it would be like stepping into the ring with Brock, "You ain't got a chance!".

#7 Who's your daddy?

While it may seem a bit misleading, this was probably yet another brilliant example of Paul Heyman's ability to insult and berate anyone who dares face him across the ring with a mic in hand, including Goldberg.

Once more we go back to RAW before Survivor Series, where Goldberg decided to confront Heyman and Lesnar about the comments that Heyman made about his family.

While most of the talking was done by Heyman, Goldberg didn't hold back and made it clear that he wasn't going to take this lying down.

Heyman calmly listened to what the icon had to say and brushed it off as if it were nothing and went on to suggest that Goldberg would be beaten, victimised and conquered by Brock Lesnar to such an extent that his son would have to call Lesnar 'Daddy'.

#6 Non-PG A** kicker of the PG era

This one was as simple as it gets. Once again Paul Heyman was in the ring on Monday Night RAW, right after WrestleMania 31, with his client Brock Lesnar, where he once again built up the repertoire of the Beast.

He made mention of the physical damage that Lesnar dished out on Roman Reigns and continued to verbally make the WWE Universe fall at his feet.

The highlight of the promo was probably when he began by saying that Brock Lesnar was the most 'Non-PG a** kicker of the PG era', which basically made clear to not just the WWE Universe, but the promotion itself, that Lesnar can do what he wants whenever he wants.

Heyman also slipped in a couple of jibes against the supposed 'scumbag' lawyers, as well as calling Seth Rollins 'slimy' and 'disgusting'.

The promo ended with Heyman making it clear that Lesnar would be invoking his rematch clause immediately.

#5 Heyman pays Lesnar's fine

Paul Heyman genuinely wanted to make things right

It seems that Lesnar is the conversation starter for most of Heyman's great promos and this was the case when Paul Heyman came out to address the Beast's acts during his Summerslam match with Randy Orton back in 2016.

One of the main talking points was Lesnar's manhandling of the SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon, which Monday Night RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon wished to address. However, Heyman was having none of that and proceeded to confirm that he would be paying Brock Lesnar's 500$ fine.

He then hilariously began to throw singles onto the floor, calling out each dollar bill one by one. Some absolutely brilliant form of comic relief from Paul Heyman after the brutal beating Orton received at the hands of Lesnar at Summerslam.

#4 Swiss connection

Once again we find ourselves at RAW after WrestleMania, this time WrestleMania 30. This particular edition of RAW is one of two promos by Heyman to get onto this list. However, this one has nothing to do with Lesnar, but with the Swiss Cyborg.

On this occasion, the WWE Universe was being treated to some exquisite promo work from Zeb Colter, who was blabbering on and on about how Cesaro only won the Andre the Giant Battle Royale because of his help and how Cesaro could proudly proclaim that he is a 'Zeb Colter Guy'.

However, it was at this point that Cesaro took the mic and announced that he was a 'Paul Heyman Guy', which prompted Heyman to come down to the ring and formally announce himself as Cesaro's advocate.

As usual, Heyman threw in some jibes about Colter's age as well. Not really and breathtaking promo, but none the less, Heyman showed his ability to gel with wrestlers apart from Lesnar, something he might have to do very soon.

#3 Breaking the streak

This promo is our second one from Raw after WrestleMania 30, where Paul Heyman delivered his infamous speech on Brock Lesnar's 'Streak ending' victory over the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30.

While there were not many comical points to take away from this promo, Heyman once again successfully wowed the WWE Universe with his articulation and ability to sell anything, even something as shocking as breaking a streak which lasted for more than 'quarter of a century'.

He made it very clear to the fans that Lesnar was not here to put 'smiles' on people's faces, but rather put 'tears' in the eyes of children. If there was only one way to turn heel, Paul Heyman would know how to do it.

Heyman let loose on everybody with this promo including Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and even Hulk Hogan ("Silver Dome") facing the brunt of his attacks. However, the main point of his promo, which got the crowd mad was simply, "Twenty-one and one."

#2 ECW One Night Stand

This was definitely the promo that cemented Paul Heyman as a superb orator in the wrestling business and even confirmed what many fans already knew. Paul Heyman is absolutely 'savage'.

'Paulie' started off by giving off a good vibe, suggesting that he wasn't 'crying', but rather he had just smoked a 'joint' RVD.

Heyman then seemed to be ready to leave the ring, but he couldn't resist the temptation of throwing a couple of insults at the WWE wrestlers in attendance.

He started with a classic WCW jibe aimed at Eric Bischoff and with the crowd yelling 'Matt Hardy' around him proceeded to warn the fans to 'hide their wives'.

However, the most 'savage' thing Heyman did that night was to notify JBL,"That the only reason he was WWE Champion, was because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays". Truly a masterpiece.

#1 Paul Heyman vs. Vince McMahon

This was by far, the greatest, most brilliant, most beautiful promo Paul Heyman has ever delivered in the history of promos. He intricately and systematically tore into the CEO of the WWE (or the WWF at the time), Vince McMahon.

He brutally and ruthlessly destroyed McMahon and questioned every one of Vinnie Mac's decisions and accused him of stealing credit off of other peoples hard work, especially himself. Heyman reiterated the fact that McMahon's own children hated him and that they could not wait to see him 'rot in hell'.

He mocked McMahon for always having someone behind him who "kissed his a**" and how McMahon liked it when people did that. He even berated McMahon for coining the term 'Sport's Entertainment' and making the word 'wrestling' a dirty word. The sheer intensity of this promo is amazing.

There is a lot that can be said about Paul Heyman's actions during this promo, but only after watching it and experiencing it, can one even attempt to appreciate it. It is most definitely the original 'Pipebomb'.
