Paul E Dangerously

Part 1: Early years

What would you get if you were to breed a movie star, let's say Michael Keaton as Johnny Dangerously; with Danny DeVito's character the Penguin from the Batman movie.

Add in a mixture of the talking ability of the great Mr. Jimmy Hart aka the Mouth of the South; blended with someone who at age 14 was already a paid professional photographer and official wrestling groupie.

All while also being named as one of the top 100 Advertising Age's Global Marketers; yet somehow by age of 19 was head producer of the infamous NY night club known as Studio 54.

Instantly combining the feel of the night club with the crazy world of professional wrestling; could very possibly be the most influential man in the storied history of the sport.

Let us not get to far ahead of ourselves just yet; Paul Heyman was born on a Saturday, 9-11 in 1965. Fathered by a respected personal injury lawyer Richard S Heyman, also a World War 2 vet; and mothered by Sulamita, whose own history makes most men's past wild lives seem sober and dry.

His mother is so much more than just your normal Holocaust survivor, clearly hard to kill; really seems like Hitler was personally trying as hard as could be to make sure she was deleted.

Somehow and someway walking out of 3 seperate death camps with one in Germany on the back side of a hill; other 2 in Poland but no matter what they do she would not ever be defeated.

Think it is rather easy to tell where he gets his strong work ethic from; can not speak on his toughness but if it is anything like his momma then he be harder than steel.

She survived a house of horrors complete with their own gas chambers in the slums; leaving absolutely no room for any doubts in my mind that she is most definitely the real deal.

If they was to make a how to video of how to become a young business entrepreneur; the topic of the video could very easily be based off this very man.

At age of 11 years old he already had a full mail order business store. By age of 14 getting paid by the Godfather of wrestling, the Don, Vincent K McMahon Sr.

Lying bout his age to get not only get paid but also some backstage passes; to the Mecca, Madison Square Garden, riding to the show in one those famous NYC yellow cabs.

In order to take photos for different publications bringing the show to life for the masses; sure it is not to hard to do when 14 and own and operate your own personal photo lab.

From his decision to want to get into wrestling from watching one interview; with Vince McMahon Jr doing an interview with the Superstar Billy Graham.

Not exactly what you expect from an out of shape Bronx New Yorker that is an outspoken Jew; not to mention the effects he has had the business while never attempting the classic wrestling move, a body slam.

Think it is easy to forget or over look the fact he has had over a 30 year career; or the countless legendary careers he helped to bring to us, the fans.

Always will have those critics tthat want him gone year after year; only to be habitually disappointed when he pops up re establishing himself as the man.

No need in being upset with things you can not control that be pointless; if you can not control every aspect of a situation then that is what it is.
