Bruce’s impersonation of Paul Heyman sounds like Vizzini (Shawn Wallace) from The Princess Bride 😂

Great show Bruce and Conrad This was one of the best podcasts. I am happy to learn new things. I am also very happy some new information about one Mr. Paul Heyman. He was a troublemaker when he was in WCW
The Heyman impression is absolute gold.
Vince: I know it was you on the phone line. Paul: It was not me sir. Vince: We traced the call to your parent's home.. Paul: Sir, I must insist on my innocence. Vince: I know it was you dammit! Paul: Unfortunately sir, I must continue to emphasize my innocence in this matter. ROFL

I Love Bruce's Patterson Impression. The funny thing is that Patterson really talks like that.
Actually I met Paul when he was 16yrs old...he was shooting pics at MSG.. Vince knew who Paul was from those days already.. Paul started out as teenager doing a news letter called WRESTLING TIMES..I was older already working for Wrestling magazine and gave him pics sometimes for his news letter...most of other photographers hated Paul because he was obnoxious and very forward I but I enjoyed being with him..lot of times he would jump in front of other guys to get photograhs at MSG...Even at young age he actually put together a night at studio 54 and managed to get Ric Flair to appear there...one thing is true and that's that Paul was crazy driver and one time when I was with him he jumped over a divider to get to other side of the road! hahaha...

The first time I got into wrestling was Smackdown from 2002-04! Then I got bored about the time JBL became champion. Interestingly enough, I found out years later that Paul Heyman was the writer in those years and when he left was when th quality of Smackdown went down. I was 25 years old in 2002, so I didn't grow up with wrestling. I started watching again in 2011. I was super excited when Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came back!
This turned out to be one of my favorite episode of STW. I've Always been fasinated with Heyman. If there was ever anyone that was born to be in the buisness it's Heyman. From the time he was taking pictures ringside as a teenager, all the way up to being paired up with Brock & everything inbetween he really has pretty much has done almost everything when it comes to the buisness. Love him or hate him things would have been alot different without him.
I think Heyman is a creative genius he might not be a good business man but as far as being creative I believe he is up there
Remember that time when "Bruce from Connecticut" called in on LiveWire and yelled at Vince? Prichard had a lot of balls to do that to his boss.

"Bruce from Connecticut" was Paul Heyman not Bruce Prichard
I was a fan of Paul's since Roller Ball. Back then, I thought: this guy should be a wrestling announcer! And I lived happily ever after . . . until the antidepressants went up in price.
Bruce needs to do a one man show with all of the wrestlers he does impressions of
Love the Paul Heyman impression! However, I wouldn't mind hearing Conrad do an impression of the old Brother Love character.....I loooooooooooove yoooooooouuuuuuu.
Great podcast, thanks guys!
Boy if I had a dollar for every time Conrad said “rumor and innuendo” 😂

One of my favorite episodes
I love the heyman impressions.
I LOVE the way Bruce describes Paul Heyman lol & yes the comparison to Little Finger(Peter Balish) is great!
( in my Bruce Prichard-Paul Heyman voice ) it’s the only place in the world where you will find a bum pushing a baby grand piano in the middle of the street 💀
Paul seems like a decent conman.
He will always be Paul E. Dangerously to me
First time I saw Paul was when he was a manager in the NWA/WCW. Living in the south we didn’t get ECW so the next time we saw Paul was the first time I learned what ECW is when they came to RAW in The Manhattan center, same night Sabu fell off the RAW sign.
LOL @ 3:50 Conrad giggling like a blushing school girl!
The ticket story that Jim Cornette tells is absolutely fantastic. Bruce Prichard do you know that story Brother Love.
"Paul's" wedding speech 😂
The Heyman impersonation is so funny.
You have to wait 14 + minutes. For them to discuss about Heyman story.
Good job lads
It was not me sir! Paul we had your number... Not it!
So when will Conrad have a podcast with Paul Heyman?
Calling Paul Heyman sleazy sounds like a compliment.
Good podcast
Someone should talk to Bruce about how he is booking Raw and Smackdown in the shits!
Paul Heyman greatest manager since Bobby Heenan .
the story about working at Vince's house was best

Rigsby 1 couldn’t agree more smack down was a much better show at the time. I think it’s because Paul actually based it around wrestling
And 5 years later and WWE and UFC are together .
That is so awsome I share a bday with the great Paul heyman. Let me offer a volley sir!!
Conrad "what did Pat Patterson think" Thompson
Did he say "Palatial Estate?" LOL! Doesn't sound like "Mom and Dad's House..."
That intro. Lol
Paul Heyman has great skills behind the microphone…..
Bruce's impressions of Heyman and Cornette are spot on. Heyman is a first ballad hall of famer for his contributions to the business that is for sure. Happy Heyman is probably one of the best managers in the business. I would put him up there with Bobby Heenan and Sherri Martel. He might be an asshole backstage to the creative staff and to Vince during ECW but he left a mark in the business that is for damn sure.
Paul’s manifestations #219... the bum pushing a piano :)
If these guys actually sounded like Prichard’s impersonations every time they opened their mouths respectively, I wouldn’t be able to bare it
Not sure if Bruce's Paul Heyman is more Curtis Armstrong or Wallace Shawn

1:00:45 - 1:01:14 😂😂😂😂
Bruces hayman impression is funny as fuck Tommy Dreamer turnt the lights out funny guy 😂😂😂😂
One of the main takeaways from these podcasts is what kind of personalities these behind the scene guys were and what they brought to the table. Some were like paul heyman and jim cornette, opinionated, belligerent and stand up for what they believe no matter the result, good or bad and some like bruce prichard and kevin dunn, relatively docile, always respecting authority, easy to work with. Everyone of them were excellent at what they did though. They had some similarities too as they all have huge egos and are big mark for themselves, lol. Vince McMahon is a genius in just dealing with these personalities and trying to get the best out of them. You can tell as much as McMahon likes team-players with him, he admires those who challenged, pushed and confronted him.

The least surprising thing about Paul Heyman is that he has mob connections.
Paul haymen is a family member of mine.
I’m sure the “bum” pushing the piano wasn’t planned, I’m sure it was something that guy did everyday. Where I’m from originally, there’s a guy with a shopping cart full of instruments and he makes his rounds everyday. Everyone knows about him.
