Paul E in WCW
By Scott Keith on 18 May 2019
As I am slogging my way through 1991 WCW Paul E. was certainly one of the few bright spots and I haven't even gotten into the Medusa stuff or the Dangerous Alliance period yet. What was Heyman like back then? Did he have any creative input at that point yet or was he mostly just an on-screen guy? Was he regarded as the same pain in the ass to deal with that early on that he would become later?
Yes, he was just an on-screen guy at that point, and HELL YES he was regarded as a pain in the ass. They actually tried to fire him multiple times but because his father is a lawyer, he kept getting brought back to avoid lawsuits. Once they were finally able to pull the trigger on getting rid of him, Paul hit them so hard in court that he was eventually able to use the money he got to move into his role as promoter of ECW.
