Paul Heyman 

Thank you Oli for sending me here

Oli just gave me some of the best 3.5 hours of podcast listening I think I’ve ever had

Paul is a true wrestling legend! Great to hear Rick is into pro wrestling.

Sent here by Oli for an interview I've always wanted to hear...

Paul weaves masterfully through the weeds around the path while still going in the direction the path leads… Rick only speaks when absolutely necessary, to ask the questions that add to the story… this podcast is perfect.

Oliver Davis ... Thanks bud

Listening to this the day after wrestlemania 40. 😮 thank you Rick and Paul and team for this fascinating interview!!!

Hearing the story of his mother made me legit tear up. Great interview!

How does this only have less than 700 views. This is a fantastic interview

This is the best podcast on the topic of professional wrestling that has ever been produced. Wow

Man, this interview/conversation is amazing. Heyman is such a great storyteller. I never heard a longform interview with him before, I’ve only ever seen him play the character on TV and I can see why he’s so damn good at it. Amazing speaker. Can really paint a picture with his words. I know his father was a litigator, but Paul would’ve and could still make an all time great one should he choose a career change lol. Great episode. I think I need to hear Heyman on more podcasts!

Who's here bcoz of WrestleTalk 😁

Paul Heyman is one of the top wrestling minds that were born. Rick Rubin a top mind in producing that also has a passion for wrestling.

Wrestle talk coming in clutch

Incredible interview. That story about his mother is fascinating. A movie could be made from it

Amazing interview, I’m obsessed with how much of a cinephile Heyman is I could listen to him talk movies all day.

Can Rick get Jim Cornette to be this mellow on his show??

Fantastic interview!! You are da man Rick! Continuing to be a legend! Paul is a genius! 3 hours just flew by!!

Love this conversation I will always be thankful for Paul Heyman being on commentary with JR for WrestleMania X7… he added so much to that GOAT of a show that I don’t believe Jerry Lawler could have.

Thanks Oli from WrestleTalk. Why isn’t this interview not so popular!!!!???? I’m surprised. This interview is phenomenal

best paul heyman interview ever

Paul heyman podcast would be amazing.

Is this real? I just can't comprehend how this two people don't have more views

Brock ending the Streak was the right booking, you can't convince me otherwise. Had Taker retired after the last HHH Match at 28 he would have been fine, but once they continued it the Streak had to end.

“A murderer’s row of Hall of Famers”- Snuka, ‘nuff said.

3:05:26 hell yeahh Rhea ripley and Bianca

I have spent the last 5 hours straight listening to Paul E. Interviews, and dear God, I want to listen to another 5. Best speaker in the business.

One day, I’d love to think Paul Heyman retires, and he just reviews movies. Good God, he’s such an orator. I didn’t breathe for three hours 👏

Aside from the CM Punk / Colt Cabana podcast, THIS has got to be my favorite wrestling podcast interview I've heard.

You never know, Rick could be a fan of WrestleTalk too. Or Cultaholic (hopefully Triple Jump too then). God forbid Whatculture.

Correct as usual Oli Davis

Paul Heyman is literally a genius. Please do a part 2!!!!

26:25 Love this 😂

That was increíble

Thank you both!

Those Brock stories are amazing

This is amazing.

This is so good!!!!

Always wondered if my family is related to Pauls, certainly few and far between have the name hahhaa

My 2 favourite people to listen to, talking to one another. What the fuck

Return on investment makes no sense for killing the streak in fact it is the opposite . No extra tickets were bought AFTER brock wins , known as streak killer. But you can GUARANTEE that people would buy tickets for wrestlemania for the SOLE purpose of seeing Undertaker on that card. It is business killing .

This.. is...perfection

Man I'd love to smoke weed with Paul E

Wrestle talk sent me here 😊

.. Paul is brilliant.

Great interview

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I’m sorry but there were a few guys (confirmed from couple sources) that were pitched a win over Taker at Mania but THEY ALL DECLINED THAT WIN.. that is what You call heart for the business and seeing the bigger picture than just putting Your own ass over (while being already over at the time).. and that win was supposed to put Brock over what? HE WAS ALREADY OVER AND DIDNT NEED THAT.. it was Paul’s and Brock’s more zeros and sorry but Brock did say what He thinks perfectly about Wrestling vs UFC/ MMA in interview.. one thing was truth that Paul said is Brock was able to do anything which is being spoiled, don’t give a damn and do what He wants, goes out and come back whenever He wants.. and Brock wanted that one for Himself and if Paul putted that into His head -probably, and by Paul’s definition of what’s next for Brock after that one win- that’s the biggest crap and delusion I’ve heard in a while..ONE in the next Mania doesn’t go over that 21 already gained, One is nothing more than being a point of possibility of doing whatever they wanted without having consequences.. but to Taker that one input is burning and spitting on a legacy of a legit giving to the business and others, disrespecting the locker room leader taking the one thing that a man worked for for years and years inside the ring and out (keeping kayfabe in public as one of not many at the time) that He earned to keep for life till and after retirement.. Taker said He was going to that Mania thinking He’s gonna win and doesn’t remember that night by His own, permanent amnesia because Some big ego untitled BULLY GAVE HIM A FREAKIN CONCUSSION

they did not talk about the story of ecw.......that is way more interesting than brock lesnar brock lesnar brock lesnar brock lesnar brock lesnar brock lesnar

And Roman.. I’m not gonna start on that cuz it’s def gonna be long if I switch myself on but Roman is not the greatest- He’s a mid talent with family ties that putted Him over and over pushed because of His family NOT his own talent..He wasn’t even over with the crowd until announcing He has leukemia, which He did in a ring like a promo - and that can an argument that it was storyline to get people to like Him and spark that sympathy from fans (cuz after making people “aware” of it only a twisted and emotionless bi***would Boo Him). Roman did not revolutionize the game (the cinematic aspects were basics taken from Bray Wyatt’s book), can’t win to retain with any challenger if He doesn’t have help, should even get the universal title due to not singing the papers for the match (which equals quitting the anticipation in it not holding on to it like a money in the bank briefcase, course contracts signing doesn’t work that way that you can just through it in whenever and over all He never pinned the champion at that time but another challenger like He was.. the Rock came back and practically gave him a spot in Wrestlemania for the other title, I mean even the bloodline as a story wasn’t His original and self thought of idea but taken from another brother vs brother and afterwards creating “brotherhood” tag team (-that was over and most talked of in wrestling universe in general), and the fact that he wrestlers less than the minimum required to not having to give it back up- He made those titles into a joke without respect and also like spitting into the face of every talent that keeps this company moving forward by putting on the show everyday not only on televised show and PPVs and what’s more He’s Pierce (including His own family) that left their blood, health and even a literal last breath inside the ropes for Him to have a run and future in this..
