Paul Heyman (September 11, 1965) a American entertainment producer, writer, performer, marketer, promoter, professional wrestling manager, and commentator. He has shunned the label of "manager" for decades, using the name "The Advocate" for his work with Brock Lesnar, and also in the past calling himself "agent" or "CEO of The Dangerous Alliance."
Heyman owned and was the creative force behind the Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion from 1993 until its closure in 2001. Before running and owning ECW, he was a manager under the ring name Paul E. Dangerously in World Championship Wrestling and other promotions. He is the co-owner of the Looking4Larry Agency in New York City, and was personally named one of Advertising Age's Top 100 Global Marketers.
In WWE, Heyman has managed (or "Advocated" for) a record five WWE Champions: Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, and CM Punk. Critics have praised his abilities at managing and on the microphone. Heyman has also competed sporadically in the ring, most notably when he participated in the WWE Championship main event match in 2002 Rebellion pay-per-view.
On June 27, 2019, Heyman is hired to be an executive director of Raw as well as Eric Bischoff for SmackDown.
