#1 Paul Heyman blasts the Boss

Never before had someone spoken so callously to the Boss

The WCW/ECW Invasion of the WWF may not be fondly remembered by fans, but if nothing else, there was one diamond in the rough.

Just days before the Winner Takes All match between Team WWF and the Alliance at Survivor Series 2001, Paul Heyman took his chance to let Vince McMahon know what he really felt.

The hidden story behind JBL and a WWE writer

In an incredible, close-to-the-bone promo, Heyman's metaphor game was on point, saying the Boss had taken Hulk Hogan's blood to build Titan Tower, and stolen Bret Hart's dream to buy himself a corporate jet.

Perhaps the most scathing moment came when Heyman called out Vince for lying to his father, Vince Sr., promising the older McMahon that he would never compete with the territories.

Though Heyman and the Alliance would lose that Sunday, this promo stands the test of time.
