In wrestling, being able to spit on the mic is equally as crucial as wrestling skills and character. In the wrestling business, very few names have been able to do what Paul Heyman does when it comes to the mic work.

The former ECW owner and current advisor to Roman Reigns is a beast when handling his own in a mic segment. Over the years, Heyman has impressed wrestlers, bookers, and professionals from other fields. And now, this former NFL player thinks that Heyman would be a surefire hit in the politics world.

On the Pat McAfee show, Paul Heyman digitally dropped by to talk about The Bloodline story. While boasting about his Tribal Chief, Heyman gave an entire WWE-esque mic segment on the show and McAfee was elated. He then called Heyman a “microphone genius.

He added, “If you ever get into politics, I would love to see you just fu**ing go as one of these professional speakers. You know, these people who are in the real world, making the real decisions, who feel like they are the smartest people of all time, put them in the room with Paul Heyman and nobody else. We don’t need any of their advisors, none of their consultants, no crowd to gas anybody up.”

There are many times that the WWE Universe has witnessed the excellence of Heyman in the ring. From his days in ECW in the ’90s to his shift to WWE in the 2000s, Heyman impressed everyone. But even recently, there have been many times that Heyman shut a top star with just his words.

One of the most notable ones was when Reigns and Cody Rhodes were feuding. After winning the Royal Rumble, Rhodes came out to the ring to announce Reigns as his opponent for WrestleMania 39. But being Reigns’ advisor, Heyman aptly interrupted his segment. By bringing in Rhodes’ father and the family’s lineage, in one segment, Heyman turned the Reigns vs Rhodes feud from just another title match to one to with real personal implications.
