Paul Heyman (WWE)
The Tribal Chief’s special counsel, Paul Heyman, feels AEW is competition for WWE
Paul Heyman recently appeared on an extensive one-on-one interview with MMA journalist Ariel Helwani of BT Sport (h/t EWrestling News). He was asked about AEW’s competition with WWE is legitimate or not what he thinks about AEW.
“The Evil Genius” feels that AEW are a viable entity and fees that the competition is on between the two companies. He even said that God bless them.
“They are viable. They are a viable entity. God bless them for being there.”
Roman Reings’ special counsel also spoke about what he thinks of the show in the interview. He mentioned that they are “great”, but he also said they should not care about what he feels in person and don’t give a f**k about what he thinks.
Instead, they should care about the fans and also said about expanding the base of the fans as it will be beneficial to the sports entertainment.
“I’m not the audience. My personal opinion on their product, if I were to sit here and go, ‘My God, they are great,’ who cares what I think? It’s just a personal opinion. They are not geared towards me. If I went, ‘Oh my God, they suck, they’re horrible,’ I don’t think they should care about that either.
“When Dana White gave his opinion on WWE, and it wasn’t flattering, I was asked about it, and I went, ‘And?’ Who gives a f**k?’ I don’t think AEW should give a f**k what I feel about them. They should care what the fans think, what their audience and the potential audience thinks about them. ‘Here is who we have, we need to super-serve them and make them continue to be loyal to us, and we need to expand that base.”
He even mentioned that the mentality between ECW and AEW is quite the same as it’s a great marketing device, but these two are different entities.
