Early Life
Paul Heyman was born on September 11, 1965, in The Bronx, New York City. His mother, Sulamita, was a Holocaust survivor, and his father, Richard, was a personal injury attorney and World War II veteran. By the age of 11, Heyman was running a mail-order business selling celebrity and sports memorabilia from home. He then began working as a photojournalist, gaining backstage access at Madison Square Garden and other sports venues, and selling the photos to various publications. After graduating from Westchester Community College, Heyman worked at a radio station before shifting his focus back to photography, becoming a photographer and writer for Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
Wrestling Career
Paul Heyman started managing wrestlers in the late 1980s, beginning on the independent circuit in the Northeast and Florida, and then moving to the Deep South. He managed for the Continental Wrestling Federation and later for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He then moved to Eastern Championship Wrestling, which later became Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). After ECW folded, Heyman became a broadcaster/commentator for WCW, eventually returning to management and re-launching the ECW brand.
Heyman made his WWE debut in May 2012 on an episode of Raw as Brock Lesnar’s legal advisor. He went on to manage The Big Show, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns. In August 2020, Heyman aligned with the returning Roman Reigns on SmackDown, portraying the character of his special counsel and “wise man.”
