Rob Van Dam believes Paul Heyman to be the top booker in recent memory.
The ECW original has always done well for himself from a booking perspective. Never more so however than under Paul Heyman in ECW.
During a recent interview with Dominic DeAngelo’s Wrestling Writing, RVD said that he believes Paul Heyman is the best booker that he knows of.
“I think you know that as far as booking goes, in my opinion, I think he’s the best. That’s also because I like his stuff in particular,” RVD said. “He got a lot of pushback from the WWE office in 2001 during the Alliance. A lot of his ideas got opposed. Same thing when we brought ECW back for the Sci-Fi network. A lot of his ideas were opposed. There were other bookers in the office that think completely different. They would think it’s ridiculous.
“I think Paul’s got the best ideas ’cause they thought the exact opposite and tried to stop all of his ideas, but I agree with that sentence that he’s the best that I know of,”
