The 57-year-old Heyman is one of the most shrewd personalities on the roster. Heyman often understands where the tide is flowing and lets himself go in that direction as well. Recently, during the podcast, the host had asked Heyman about Brock Lesnar’s mic abilities. To this, Heyman shocked the world by speaking highly of it.
Before The Wisman’s alliance with Roman Reigns, he used to work as the mouthpiece for Lesnar. Once asked about it, he spoke highly of Lesnar and praised his intelligence as well. He said, “his self-confidence is obviously there. When you look in the mirror. It’s also a very alpha male thing, and of the alpha-male species on our planet. You know, he is super-humanly, super-alpha. He’s just a different creature.”
Paul Heyman further continued, ” So, you get to talk to him and you realize, ‘Okay! I am supposed to be the smart one but I am the guy with all the labels that apply to intelligence, creativity or everything else.”
