Ariel Helwani Meets: Paul Heyman ☝️ The Wise Man on Roman Reigns, Conor McGregor and WWE Takeover 

Heyman is an absolute master at blending kayfabe and reality during interviews

He literally gave the keys how to book 101. Money, business, keep coming back and paying to see the heel lose. Wanting to see the heel finally lose. It is beautiful. Everything about this interview was truth and honesty.

Honestly could listen to Paul doing interviews all day and never be bored

Conor and Heyman having a promo segment together would be money.

I like how Paul just messes with Ariel, but still respects him. 😁

Paul’s mind for the business is just unparalleled. 14/15 mins of Paul is just not enough. This man is a walking wrestling encyclopedia. Great interview.

Paul Heyman is an absolute treasure. He just gets IT.

Paul Heyman stated nothing but facts throughout this whole video.

I love how Paul Heyman went straight into cutting a promo on McGregor after his insight on the WWE UFC merger LOL

Man is speaking facts, I hate the decision but damn he is speaking facts.

I freaking love Paul Heyman even though I haven't watched WWE since 2007 everytime I see something with this guy i watch he's a great character and storyteller wish he was around more back in the day

As per usual, Heyman hasn't missed a bit and STILL knows exactly what he's doing.

Paul has such an enriched mind and the way he promos, bro is f stars. Roman has the IT factor, best thing going on in the WWE by far

This man is brilliance personified. If he was in charge of WWE creative alongside Triple H I could only imagine how great the story telling would be.

Paul flipping the switch into an actual wiseman from the bronx when he talking about Mcgregor is pure gold! I wouldnt fw Paul if he was talking like that to me. 🤣

Ariel knew he had a good interview on his hands with that smile at the end .

Paul Heyman has been having so much fun. The fact he wanted a handshake says a lot about his character as a genuine human being. That was a fantastic interview!

*One of the greatest minds in the business. I hope he stays in WWE as long as possible.*

Paul Heyman is arguably the most important creative mind in pro wrestling history that isn't Vince McMahon. Every guy he's worked with or helped early on has changed the business forever in some form or another. Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, RVD, Big Show, Chris Jericho, and now Roman.

I need a Paul Heyman podcast so bad, this man is a national treasure

This is Heyman at his best. He was in character yet being very real at the same time.

Heyman is a master of his craft. Brilliant.

Paul Heyman bronx accent coming out at the end😂

Guess who else is in god mode *Paul Heyman*

Heyman clowning Conner had me dying 😂😂😂 “ I like the little guy, he’s funny to me…like a clown…like a clown he’s here for my amusement”

Heyman is sitting here telling yall how it works and how they think backstage. I hope yall are actually listening and digesting

Absolutely one of the best promo cutters in the business. He's had one hell of a journey. Great interview.

I could watch Paul Heyman talking about things for hours.

greatest manager and promo genius of all times! pauly heyman legend! this mans gift of gab is incredible!

Paul Heyman is a True Gangster 💯💯 The Conor mcgregor part Proves it and he even broke down a Fit check 😂😂😮‍💨🔥🔥

I can watch Paul Heyman interviews all day. The best to ever do it. Respect!

Man I just love Paul. I sometimes have issues figuring out what is real and kayfabe with some of these interviews and Paul is one of the people that does well blending it.

Heyman is a genius. Plain and simple. One of the greatest wrestling personalities ever, and one of the brightest minds.

I have been a Paul E. fan since time haha. Guy is an absolute legend. Love these conversations with Ariel, good stuff.

It's mesmerizing to listen to Heyman's interviews. He's still very much Wise Man through and through. One of the best minds in wrestling.

I could listen to his stories all day

Heyman is the Alfred Hitchcock of WWE

I used to hate heyman when he first came to wwe (obviously we was doing a great job as a heel) but over time he's really grown on me , there's a reason they put him with every top guy / wwe champion , he's just gold and makes that champion that much more relevant

Paul heyman is the only person that still does kayfabe. A real legend

I also couldn't help but notice Heyman's suit. Really sharp!

This is a great interview

The "Boston " in Paul really came to the surface when he was mentioning Conor McGregor.😂

Every time these two are in front of each other, it’s a face-off. They’re going to battle verbally. Ariel tries to hold his own and challenge Heyman because he loves the business and Heyman cruises. It’s so fun to watch

It's crazy that level of conversation skill that paul heyman displays here

Been watching Paul Heyman work since ECW was born..dude is a pro wrestling genius..with HHH on creative that's the reason WWE been so good last few years

There will never be another Paul Heyman. His ability to blend the two worlds of pro wrestling is unmatched and he has such a great understanding of the business. Also, the way he just completely devalued Conor at the end was hilarious but, realistically if Conor was to have another roid rage or whatever it is moment and did ever actually hurt Paul Heyman, forget Roman, Brock would kill him lol

Great interview!

Heyman just gets IT. Roman is IT. The bloodline has IT and Ariel brings IT

Paul heyman is really a nice guy. Wow. I loved this interview

MMA fan here and not really WWE one but hell, Paul Heyman is a special guy, always like to hear what he's got to say.

I love the shoot on Conor. Just a master at work. And the whole interview was alot of fun .

Perfect response to Conor McGregor, Heyman is a master at this.

Could just listen to Heyman all day, what a fella

Can't wait to tune in again

Man…Heyman is the best, the mind of the business and the small details he times perfectly, nothing better

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him. He lived in my hometown and would come to my restaurant he is such a nice guy. His wife Marla was a regular

I just wanna say as a fan who is watching wwe since i was 10 dont destroy it. LET HHH CONTROL BOTH RAW AND SMACKDOWN .VINCE IS GOOD but his time is up .... last raw which was raw after mania it actually SUCKED BIG TIME

I could listen to Heyman interviews all day

I can hear Mr Paul speaking the whole day and I’ll never get tired

This man is a genius. Could listen to him talk all day. 🐐

Love Paul Heyman dude had a hand in creating some of the greatest stars in wrestling and the man is still on top of his game. Roman is a GOAT and at the top of the industry!!! And Paul Heyman is the reason he is.

Could listen to Paul Herman all day talking about wrestling.

It’s hard to just pass by a Paul Heyman interview. Too entertaining

Triple H needs to be put Paul Heyman in the creative hot seat alongside him right now! Hunter is doing wonders right now but hey… adding this creative genius to the fold, the results would be unimaginable and pure brilliance!

Paul saying we the ones cracked me up so much. He's the best!!

14:16 was the smoothest “We da ones” EVER 🤣

haha oh man I love Paul Heyman, could listen to him talk for hours. Loved his take on Conor aswell "like a clown, he's here for my amusement" lmao priceless

What a gem of a character Heyman is

Lovem or hate him, heyman is truly the best on the mic Interviews,podcasts,promos doesn’t matter. He paints a picture better then bob ross

Paul Heyman just gets it.

I’d love one day just to sit with Paul and not even speak and just admire of what he has done in life for all the companies and who he is no talking no nothing just sit and id just admire his work and just like “omg it’s Paul Heymen”

Heyman needs to be Hall of Fame next year cause he was greatest talking mic ever 👏👏👏👏

I still remember this interview, after I saw Cody lose to Roman and I thought how it was the wrong move. But listening to this again today just made me realise, how Heyman was 100% correct. Amazing. WM40. Cody finally will gotta win the WWE championship 💯🐐

11:24 for the McGregor question

So much respect for Paul 👏🏽

Nice interview

I could watch Helwani & Heyman chop it up all day. Must see viewing.

Love paul heyman what a legend

I love seeing and listening to Paul at any interview.

Paul Heyman has come a long way man. Shout outs to him.

We need a podcast of cornette and hey man… badddd!!! 2 legends!!!

Heymans' thoughts and speech is like a sound artist with perfect pitch .

The only word that came to mind throughout this entire interview was... TRUTH

His answer to WWE's buyout question is absolutely splendid.

This guy is just the best interview ever. Every time.

Protect this man at all cost Paul Heyman is a National Treasure ❤

My God I love Paul Haymen I could listen to him all day the stories I would love to listen to him tell he is the GOAT

Roman and Paul doing such a good job at blurring the lines between their tv characters and real life

Absolute legend!!!! No-one touches Heyman on any level

I could listen to paul talk all day

Loved it!!!!

Paul Heyman is one person within the "Sports Entertainment" world, I'd rather a silent, eye to eye, handshake with than any selfie/autograph or interview. And yes, shock horror, including a fellow Mark, The Undertaker, Calloway (please don't tell Mr Undertaker!) . Pauls eyes/facial expressions often tell a far deeper story than any reaction from any other "superstar". Mr Heyman, sir, my deathbed wish is a handshake with eye to eye contact. No words needed. For me, that would be more bone chilling than Jake the Snake Roberts looking me in the eyes and saying "Trust Me" (BTW, im not dying. The deathbed reference is for scale of which this would mean to me!)

Helwani always has the best questions

Thanx Paul I needed that

Love how Heyman interviews Ariel on his own show.

I will stop everything I’m doing to watch a Paul Heyman interview.

Hands down the best promoter of all time. I wish he was running WWE tbh

What Heyman said is true to an extent but diminishing returns are definitely kicking in. It feels like people aren't excited to see who beats Roman now it's almost getting to another "Anyone but Roman" situation at this point

Paul Heyman, the GOAT!!! loved every second of this :) :D

I know it’s already been stated many times, but Heyman is a genius!
