Newsweek featured a profile on WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman today.
On today's professional wrestling, Heyman commented the future will see, "An era more of continued transparency. Intelligent discussion of the product itself. Authenticity, in terms of the characters. And just great stories. What's next for professional wrestling is the same thing that built wrestling's greatest highs in the attitude era, in 1984 with the expansion, in the '70s when the territories were on fire, in the '50s on the DuMont network, dating back to 1905 with Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt. It's the same thing that broke the Yankees and the Red Sox rivalry. The Lakers and the Celtics. The Chicago Bulls and everybody in the NBA in the 1980s. The Pittsburgh Steelers against the Dallas Cowboys. "Who are these people? Why are they fighting? Why should I care enough to pay to see it? You answer those three questions, you have a viewer. You have a ticket buyer. You have a network subscriber. You have a t-shirt purchaser."
On ECW, Heyman noted, "Every single day of it was just an honor and a blessing and a dream job."
