‘Trash talking’ is one unique skill that very few superstars are blessed with in pro wrestling. At the same time, it can be a nightmare to be at the receiving end of all those disparaging jibes. From the current roster, the likes of Roman Reigns, LA Knight, and Logan Paul take the top spots as these wrestlers are blessed with the gift of gab.

And from the past, without any doubt, there is just one superstar who destroyed a multitude of wrestlers with his impeccable mic skills and perfect timing. We are talking about none other than ‘The People’s Champion’ Dwayne Johnson. In his heydays, The Rock mocked practically every wrestler in the WWE locker room. Not even sparing the boss Vince Mcmahon and his daughter Stephanie. But in spite of such supremacy with the mic, ‘Wiseman’ Paul Heyman thinks the title of ‘King Of Trash Talk’ is definitely owned by someone else.

Ever since his debut in the WWE in 2001, Paul Heyman has enthralled the fans with his eloquent and confident speech. He is always known for cutting out killer promos, be it while promoting ‘The Next Big Thing’ Brock Lesnar in the early 2000s or while playing ‘Wiseman’ for ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns. In most cases, while putting his point across, Heyman has had to trash-talk his way out. And fans and even wrestlers will agree that Heyman is one of the most menacing trash-talkers in the history of the WWE.

But in a recent interview with ESPN where he was accompanied by Roman Reigns, the host asked him who he felt were the “best trash talkers” . And you will be shocked to know the name Heyman took. And no, it was not ‘The Great One’ nor ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair. Heyman called Vince Mcmahon the best trash talker in the WWE, but only backstage.

Going to say that Vince McMahon sometimes can be quite mean with his employees. And obviously so because he is the owner of the WWE and he also controls the paychecks. Paul Heyman said, “Vince Mcmahon behind the scenes, oh my God. Chairman of the Board, and also he controls the paychecks. If he wants too (trash talk), he is paying the paychecks.”

Who would have ever thought that Vince Mcmahon is even more intimidating than Paul Heyman when it came to dishing out trash talk? But the verdict has been given.
