Jimmy Hart Praises Paul Heyman, Says He Makes Everything He Does Meaningful

In an interview with Undisputed, Jimmy Hart had nothing but praise for Paul Heyman, calling his work ‘genius’ and pointing out how he makes everything meaningful. He noted that he thinks Heyman is the greatest manager in wrestling. Here are highlights:

On the greatest manager in wrestling: “It’s Paul Heyman. He’s my favorite, and he’s been doing this at such a high level for so long. What he’s doing now is the best stuff in wrestling. He’s putting food on the table for a lot of people in WWE.”

On why he’s a fan of Heyman: “Paul Heyman, he’s magic. He makes every part of what he’s doing so meaningful. That’s what I tried to do, too–if they were going to paint me yellow, then I brought the paint. Paul is the same way–you have to watch to see what he’s going to do next. He’s a genius.”

On his manager Mount Rushmore: “I love Jimmy Cornette and Bobby Heenan, too. Jimmy started with us in Memphis–I gave him his first knee pads and shin guards. And Bobby Heenan, what more can you say.”
