• The Undertaker Says He’s An ‘Original Paul Heyman Guy’, Heyman Reacts

While speaking to Sports Illustrated, The Undertaker said that he’s a Paul Heyman Guy.

“Being a ‘Paul Heyman Guy,’ I’d heard that for years but never thought much about it. One day I realized, ‘Well shoot, I’m a Paul Heyman Guy’.”

Taker also shared a story about teaming up with Danny Spivey in WCW with Teddy Long as their manager. When Spivey left, he was alone, so WCW paired him up with Heyman. He said that Heyman being his manager was beneficial for his career.

Because of the friendship between Heyman and Bruce Prichard, they discussed about Taker, which led to talks of Taker joining WWF.

“So hindsight being 20/20, I am one of the original ‘Paul Heyman Guys’.”

When Heyman saw the comments Taker made, he took to Twitter to say he was humbled by Taker’s comments.
