Heyman’s contributions to ECW’s success in the late 90s cannot be overstated. At a time when WWE and WCW were creating TV-friendly content, Extreme Championship Wrestling, as the name suggests, went to extreme lengths to entertain fans. Several performers found their footing in the business while working for ECW, one among them being The Blue Meanie.
In a chat with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, The Blue Meanie mentioned that since he was just 23 years old at the time he joined ECW, he would make many mistakes. He further added that although there were plenty of occasions when Paul Heyman could have fired him, the Wise Man was very patient and gave him invaluable feedback.
