Paul Heyman Guys?

Maybe everyone should buy this now before Heyman gets himself fired again.  This would be a REALLY hard shirt to explain to casual friends, but I'm VERY tempted.

    I wouldn't wear the shirt, but I would totally buy a Paul Heyman guy bumper sticker.

    The fact that they'd even make a shirt like this makes me think that there's a "Paul Heyman guy" fairly high up in the company.

    Threadjack for David Shoemaker's latest column at Grantland. It might be a tad optimistic but it's really good.

    The only reason there is a Paul Heyman shirt is because they think they can make a buck off it. No other reason than that.

    I'd buy that shirt and wear it at every press event I'm at.

    It is good. I'm glad he mentioned the backlash against Tyler Black, who I recall fans grumbling about during his RoH run.

    I must admit that Jeff Hardy + CM Punk = Seth Rollins seems like a perfect comp. So unfair to Rollins though.

    No one will ever wear this shirt. Ever.

    I LOL'd at the biggest size available being only 2X when that won't fit 90% of the people who would buy it.

    a year or so ago they wouldn't even put Zach Ryder on TV, but they gave him a t-shirt

    How does this put the heat on Punk? Kinda like when nobody cared about Barbarian, but wanted to see Bobby Heenan get murdered. Not comparing Punk's abilities to Barbarian of course, just that the heel manager thing works better if it puts heat on the champ, not himself.

    I think you're taking this a little too seriously.

  16. justicegrayNovember 20, 2012 at 3:12 PM

    That's what I meant. =) I can't see a way that this shirt makes money, so I assume someone high up at the company thinks highly of Paul to assume that it would.

  17. flair4dagoldNovember 20, 2012 at 3:13 PM

    I actually think they've done a superb job of keeping the heat and the focus on Punk. Heyman is amazing on the mic and at drawing heat so it woudn't be too hard for him to "take over" if you will, but it hasn't happened. The focus has always gone to Punk.

    About as seriously as I take anything wrestling at this point. Not something I particular care about, just an interesting marketing approach to Paul

    Yeah, it's actually a testament to how great a manager he is that he's able to reign in his charisma and keep everything about Punk. Relegating so much of his job to simply holding up Punk's title belt was a stroke of genius.

    Eh it doesn't take much to convince them to print up a few shirts of someone, they don't cost them much to make or anything. Back in the Attitude days everyone had shirts if you looked online or in WWF Magazine: Kaientai, Tazz, Sexual Chocolate, even Steve Blackman.

    What's weird is that most of the other shirts go up bigger than that. I remember making a similar comment when I first noticed that-how at least the WWE knew their target audience when it comes to merch.

    I kind of wonder if that's going to be the informal name for this new stable--Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns. It has that cool connotation of these guys all having indie cred while not quite suiting the mold of the prototypical WWE star. Except Reigns. He seems kind of shoe-horned in, although I admit I have seen enough of him to justify that impression.

    THREADJACK (maybe):

    Linda McMahon's campaign seems to be pulling a Paul Heyman: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/11/20/linda-mcmahon-campaign-worker-i-got-condom-and-bad-check/

    That's about the sort of class I expect from the McMahon family. Don't be surprised of the condom thing leads to some sort of sexual harassment lawsuit too. I'm even more glad she lost now too.

    A 2.72? Actually, I think that's pretty good by their recent standards.

  37. zanadudeNovember 20, 2012 at 8:19 PM

    There are enough fan boys who would buy it. I doubt it costs all that much money to produce that shirt, so you'd only need a few hundred buys to recoup costs.

    I was totally serious and not just having a random shitty Offspring song in my head while watching Raw last night, honest.

    Am I the only one turned off of buying WWE shirts mainly because of the stupid WWE tag on the bottom of the shirt? I bought the CM Punk Nexus shirt because A) it doesn't look like a wrestling shirt and B) there's no WWE logo on it. I'd buy some of the Dolph Ziggler shirts for when I feel like looking like a douchebag at a bar but they too have that stupid WWE Authentic tag

    just take a look at this interview:

    I love that Heyman is doing his best to put over the guys he is working with in the biggest way all the time.

    Yeah, say what you will about Paul Heyman but he knows how to put guys OVER. Oh I long for the alternative universe where he got the booking reigns but not the business reigns in TNA...

    "The PHG's" would be a pretty good name.
