Question for blog – P Heyman & ECW

By Scott Keith on 15 September 2014

Scott,

We all know about Paul Heyman’s difficulties with paying talent during ECW’s tenure. Was that because : (a) Paul Heyman was doing quite well for himself, and stiffing performers to line his own pockets?(b) Paul Heyman was a terrible businessman and couldn’t pay the performers because he didn’t have the money?(c) A bit of answers (a) and (b) depending on where in ECW’s history we are landing?
Mr. Heyman has always been financially well off due to his parents being loaded, so I really doubt that any financial difficulties were a result of him skimming the meager profits that ECW made. If anything he put too much of his own money into the promotion and nearly bankrupted himself in the process. So definitely B in this case.
