I don't understand how they call Paul E A Genius Dave I mean once he put you know a lot of that original Philadelphia talent in the position he did and switch the ECW ball cap for the WWF ball cap I mean it is just never been the same man since

Paul Heyman was a genius and Tony Khan was a huge ECW fan, but there is something rich about ECW, which never drew at the mainstream level close to AEW, not that there aren't things to learn from, talking about how AEW only caters to this small fan base unlike ECW. 2,000 at $20…

ECW was revolutionary for its time. Feuds, work rate, storylines, styles, match types, foreign talent etc. Copied by WCW and WWF/E. It just didn’t make any money.

I understand what you are saying, but all I can say is do not mistake creative genius with being a genius at business. There are plenty of people in other businesses who are incredible at what they do, but do not know how to monetize it properly.

Just one example is WWE wanted to throw CM Punk away like he was nothing. Paul E got Punk right away and fought for him to stay which allowed for so many big moments for the company and wrestling in general.

Paul E changed the sport. His ideas were copied by every wrestling organization in the world.
