Paul E., was certainly acting “Dangerously” a few years back. According to reports, Paul Heyman attempted to get into a fight with a WWE writer during a flight in the early 2000’s.
We’ve all heard of the infamous “plane ride from hell”, but Paul E. tried to top it – and it wasn’t scripted for reality TV either. You can’t blame him. I don’t believe any amount of WWE writing for the past twenty years has been up-to-par with the early 90’s WWE, or WCW writers for that matter. Perhaps Paul E. should have punched the writer right out of the airplane – WWE’S storylines would have been better off for it.
Ringside News reports; Paul Heyman, one of the most well-known and established names in pro wrestling. His mind for the industry is genius, (according to them. But this is the guy that created ECW. And didn’t that sham of a company go bust?) They say, Heyman understands the business (lol) He’s been through a lot in his career, (fired from WCW, ECW went bust). He even tried to get into a fight with ex-WWE writer Brian Gewirtz during a flight. Now that is perhaps the one truly good thing Paul did in his career.
As written in his book “There’s Just One Problem… True Tales from the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE,” former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz detailed how Paul Heyman tried to get into a fistfight with him during a flight in the early 2000s.
“One time on the corporate jet Paul [Heyman] got so amped up [over what, I don’t remember] that he got up and challenged me to a fistfight, mid-flight. To be fair, I’m sure I’d said something that made him want to punch me in the face. Whatever it was caused Paul to stand up, look me in the eye and declare: ‘I’ll give you three free shots to the face if I could have just one.’ Before I could respond to that offer, Shane McMahon jumped up from his seat. It was not to point out having a fistfight on a small plane was a bad idea. Instead he took me into the plane’s bathroom to show me how to properly throw a punch.
I ultimately turned down the opportunity to have a good old-fashioned plane fight, disappointing most on board— including Vince, who seemed way more interested in this potential match than the Tajiri vs. Albert match from hours earlier.”
