Bronson Reed: Paul Heyman Is A Wealth Of Knowledge When It Comes To Professional Wrestling

Bronson Reed learns a lot from the Wiseman.

While speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight,  the Big Bad Beast that is Bronson Reed spoke about how every week at WWE Monday Night Raw, he can get advice from the mind of Paul Heyman who managed and has been by the side of many legends throughout the last thirty years.

“I work a lot with Paul Heyman. I tell people all the time, the biggest influences on my career were my trainer Hartley Jackson, from Australia, then probably Hunter [Triple H]. Now, since the start of the year, I usually sit down and speak with Heyman every week at Raw. He’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wrestling,” he said.

Asked what Heyman has taught him, Reed said, “How to present myself in the ring. I have always wrestled a certain way for a big man, but there is even more I can do with my size and to make myself look different. He’s always going for something that is different. That, and his promo work is ridiculous. I’ll go to him about a promo and he will just cut a promo off his head and it’s the best promo I’ve ever heard. He’s a genius with words.”

Reed battled and lost to Braun Strowman in a Last Monster Standing match after Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins made his return and Curb Stomped Reed’s head into the steel steps after the monsters collapsed the ring.
