Bully Ray knows a thing or two about Paul Heyman’s talents, having worked closely with him in ECW and WWE. Ray said that Heyman has the ability to build stars and provide them with a foundation to grow as wrestlers. 

However, he feels that Heyman’s current role resembles a run-of-the-mill wrestling manager, which may not suit all parties involved.

“I don’t know if this was Paul’s idea or if they said, ‘Hey, listen, we need you with these guys.’ Also, chemistry. Paul Heyman understands the rebellious mentality. He harnessed it into a company called ECW. Paul Heyman knew that Steve Austin was a rebel and needed to get sh*t off his chest, thus Steve hung out in ECW for two months and the foundations for Stone Cold were planted,” Ray claimed. “Paul understands what a monster from day one should look like and feel like, and be, thus Brock Lesnar. Paul knows what it is to be part of a family from a young age. Paul was like the Henry Hill of the Samoan family. Paul’s not Samoan, but he’s been around for so long, he’s like family by association,” said Ray. “With these guys? I feel like a wrestling manager was put with wrestlers for a typical reason in wrestling.”

Ray had recently said that the group “doesn’t still feel right” as he thinks that Seth Rollins feels like the focal point of the group, while he also asserted how Bron Breakker has the qualities to be a top babyface.
