Paul Heyman Speaks on His Promos, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and More

WWE manager Paul Heyman recently appeared on “The Buzz with Jimmy Traina” podcast to promote Brock Lesnar’s match against The Undertaker this Sunday at “SummerSlam.”

He discussed a number of subjects, including how he creates his promos, how much he enjoys what he does, his admiration for Brock Lesnar, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

On Brock Lesnar:

“I can honestly say this is probably the most fun I’ve ever had because it is the easiest gig I’ve ever had. All I have to do is brag about someone for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration — the most legitimate, authentic athlete in the history of WWE. It’s a really easy gig for me.”

On the Lesnar/Taker Match at “SummerSlam:”

“I said on TV this is the match that’s too big for Wrestlemania, and I meant it. I really, really meant it. There is no description to point out how big this match truly is because no-one ever thought they’d ever see a return match between Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker. The unfortunate part about this is, I don’t know how many times you’re going to get to see the Undertaker after this match because he’s going to get his a** kicked again. He’s going to get beat up and he’s going to get beat.”

On Their First Encounter at Wrestlemania:

“He didn’t just lose to Brock Lesnar [at WrestleMania]. Brock Lesnar delivered such a beating to the Undertaker that he collapsed backstage to a point where Vince McMahon left Wrestlemania during the main event to go to the hospital with Undertaker – who stayed in that hospital and needed a full year before he was seen in public again. A full year. So if the Undertaker takes the same beating at SummerSlam, what makes you think he’s going to be at the AT&T Stadium?”
