#Undertaker #BrockLesnar #WrestleMania
I hate how good heyman is at his job
Why do you hate it though ?
So Taker was knocked out basically ?
Right man there is no character that can fuck with Paul hayman he's to deadly on the mic
I agree he's good. I remember how much I despised him during the lead up to wrestlemania. I despised Heyman so much, I was unable to be objective in any of Lesnar's matches.
@@kennyomegapushcesaropushhe4184 because he's the best thing going in the business and doesn't even wrestle.
This guy could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white
L.M.F.A.O!!
*white gloves
VillainCrisis my bad it’s been awhile
in India.
I bought 4 bottles...
In an age where Kayfabe is “dead” Heyman is still good enough to work the audience.
I swear, Paul Heyman is the only man in the world that can out-kayfabe Jim Cornette. Maybe that's why Jim hates him so much, because Paul knows exactly how to get in people's heads to make them question everything they thought they knew, even in the days where everyone knows everything (relatively).
The man's a LEGEND
I feel like I can do the same thing
Yes it's sad that keyfabe is dead ....earlier we used to think that atleast some of it is real....they used to take such a beating that it used to pose a doubt
Paul heyman and Cm punk on the mic 🔥
I don't buy it. Lesnar respects Taker too much to go off script. Still classic Heyman, love the guy.
Exactly. Heyman is so damn good though.
Exactly paul tries to make Lesnar seem like this guy who went into bussiness for himself when i doubt he did
He is just working the crowd, working you by the sounds of it. He is also another yes man. A pathological liar as well!
@@Yamah12a/videos If you think he's a pathological liar, then you're the one being worked...
Jason Siddall Please dude go and do some fucking research before you comment.
There will never be another Paul Heyman.
Your right cause wwe doesnt do managers
This guy is just too good. He could redeem anybody & make them a top star
@@galemara7990 Except Curtis Axel and Cesaro :(
He needs to shave off dat retarded dough he gots n get sum better genes
You say it like he died lol
"why did Taker need a full year off?!?" He had literally taken a full year off after the previous 3 Wrestlemanias. That's just what he does.
MarkLyell taker isn’t as young as he used to be, Vince definitely knew because he was in the gorilla position in the 5 previous Wrestlemania matches, taker knew, heyman knew, wouldn’t be too surprised how Lesnar knew as well
Dude the undertaker gave us 2 incredible decades before this previous decade. I think most people would agree he's earned the right to work as often or as little as he chooses
@@scottharman110 Hey dude, I'm not criticising at all. I'm a huge Taker fan. I'm just saying that Heyman points out Taker taking a year off after the Lesnar match as supposed evidence of his point and he says it as if Taker taking a year off after the Lesnar match was a notable thing, I was just pointing out that Taker had done that post-Wrestlemania for the 3 years before that so it's not as if he suddenly started doing it after the Lesnar match. I fully support Taker's right to take a year off, he's the man.
@@MarkLyell actually he didn't look good in that match even before it started. I'd hate to be his legs after all those years and his hips too. But I'm sure he has no regrets about performing and who knows he might even do it all over again if he had the chance.
I mean get surgery for injuries he got in the match, heal, rehab, train, work mania 🤷🏻♀️
I wish Paul Heyman did his own podcast, what a brilliant mind of the professional wrestling business.
He does. It's called the Heyman Hustle Podcast
ECW could have been one of the greatest wrestling society ever, if it didn’t go on bankruptcy in 2001
This is like TED TALK for wrestling
The TED talk with Eric Bischoff is really good fyi.
@@strodey123 MVP's TED was Pretty Awesome, as Well
this is Paul's brilliance: he has the ability to go out of WWE and ECW and still act so naturally like he is still in his character and although we know he is playing with us, he makes himself so credible and believable with what he says, and we choose to believe him.
That's because it's absolutely impossible to tell if he's shooting or working!!!!!
Why do I feel like I saw this like 3 years ago
because it says that this is an interview from 2016
Right?
Because it's a reupload, but regardless it's a good watch
It’s been re-uploaded like three times... I still enjoy seeing it in my feed, though. Heyman could sell me on 9/11 hH
Remy Bartels because you did
My god, this man is one of if not the best storyteller in wrestling history without ever stepping foot in the ring as a wrestler, fantastic.
Truly one of a kind. He speaks like he’s a lawyer. 😂
Heyman is totally working the audience here, but that is why he is one of the best in the business.
to PROVE that Heyman is f*cking with ya: after when Brock gave Taker the final F-5, you could hear Brock say "thank you" to taker.
You seen him winking at taker too up the ramp, he did it a few times to make sure taker seen it as well!
Any videos of him saying thanks?
But do you KNOW you know
ye your right, the viper was meant to take the streak, but he refused so brock did it
@@ashanc6809 Source: Trust me bro
I don't believe a word, but I love what Heyman does for the business here. That's what we want, that's what the business lives from... it's the right thing to do to handle those events like that.
Same here. That Lesnar is still with WWE is proof enough that this is just a (admittedly brilliant) conspiracy theory.
Heyman is his own biggest mark... Such a good head for the business
Thats... thats how you sell. Dude.
Heyman is great, and clearly he's shoot-working the crowd. I could, for a moment, suspend disbelief and briefly entertain his pitch until I vividly remember how much space Undertaker had to get his shoulder up during that final pin count, and how he willingly cooperated with the Tombstone/F5 reversal with zero resistance. But, for the fact that Heyman was able to raise my brow, even for a second, shows how awesomely talented he is.
Love how he stays in Kayfabe 😂
h o w.
I met paul. He was kayfabe entire time no breaks
Maybe that's the real reason Jim Cornette hates him so much, he knows Paul Heyman is the only man in the universe that can out-kayfabe Jim frakking Cornette
Heyman is pure genius on that mic and knows how to draw you in. No one is better.
I feel like this pops up in my feed once or twice a year...
Heyman is such a master of the mic
He is sooo good at spining everything into a work
Obviously he is talking absolute nonsense but some people probably still did believe him
"Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the question" - Rowdy Roddy Piper.
He could read out a shopping list and I'd on the edge of my seat
War & Peace, in Original Russian, Read By Heyman Would Be a Binge-Worthy Show
Here's why we know it was a creative choice:
They had the 21-1 graphic ready.
Alright fair enough but you do realize as soon as the match ended the streak with the LOSS was on the MAIN SCREEN pre-planned lol...
Exactly
Technology can do it. Not saying planned or not
It’s planned both ways, weather he looses or not, they are prepared to put it up there.
Heyman is just working everyone & there's proof. Watch the finish to the Lesnar vs. Orton Summerslam 2016 match where a rogue Lesnar goes off-script just because he can & delivers those stiff elbows to Orton that give him color. It plays out in the same manner as Heyman is claiming the Mania 30 match may have happened, with the only exception being Orton didn't have an illustrious streak like Taker had. The purpose for doing this stuff was to boost the perception that Heyman's Real Life Client, Brock Lesnar, was still more than capable of making another legitimate run to the top of the UFC. Unfortunately those dreams ended up in the exact spot where Lesnar wishes his steriod-tainted pee ended up, The Toilet.
i don't buy that lesnar went into business for himself, but i guarantee they give the video guy both finishes because they wouldn't want either him spoiling it to dirt sheets, OR some fan that happens to be sitting in the right place who gets a peak at his monitor to spoil it
Haven't we seen this before on here?
The Wrestle Hub I feel like we have. When I read the title and watched this clip, I felt like we watched this before.
@@babarazamsucks yeah we have. How ever still a great watch
Yeah, although this seems to have shots from another camera edited into it.
@@RobertT1999 yeah i seen that
Read the description lol
Heyman is so good at his job.
Yeah his job his blowing Bitch Lesnar
@@jacobstapleton86 wait til you learn that wrestling is fake.
Now, we know from Undertaker on Stone Cold podcast. That he was so concussed he had no memory of the match and they had to improvised
I love how he still builds Brock at the same time shooting
Paul heyman is so intelligent, Vince wants him to take over the wwe over his own daughter and triple H 😃
CJ Ingram honestly I think if you take Stephanie and her awesome tits out of the equation and put Paul and hunter in control then things would pick up
Michael Terrell II Yeah I’ll admit that. Women are taken more serious now than they ever were.
@@ianmeadows537 here in ieda let hunter puar do every thing but the women that can be the only thing stephine dos
doubtful.
if paul heyman ran wwe I would watch. I haven't really watched since brock originally returned against cena. It was brock and rock returning that got me interested again, but it's all just to commercial and pandered now it seems. Squeaky clean and the matches are pretty boring. I just look up things related to lesnar and heyman.
Could listen to Heyman talk all day. To be able to work a crowd with such ease is awesome to watch.
Literally re-watched the match and then came back and watched this. My reasoning behind it NOT being what Heyman is proposing here:
1) The 3 count. It was fast. There was no hesitation by the ref.
2) The work they did in that match doesn't quite match up to how tired they were. The match itself was really short, all things considered, and super basic. I'm sure Taker did have to go to the hospital because something happened early where he all of a sudden couldn't help Lesner. You see it with his German suplex. The first one he does at the beginning of the match, no problem. But the chain of 2 Lesner does on him towards the end were rough. He landed on top of Lesner after the first one, and the 2nd wasn't much better. He also potato'd the last F5.
3) Lesner did not look like he pulled one over at the end. He's selling the victory as the conquering hero, not as Brock Lesner who pulled a fast one.
This is some MASTERFUL storytelling by Heyman, but I think it's just that. Story telling.
Good points except for the first one. The referee doesn't always know who's gonna win the match and from what I've heard that was the case with this match. They are supposed to call the match as if it was real, enforce the rules and count the pins unless they know that it's gonna be a kick out.
@@MinimiMax Yes. That was birthed by (among other things) the Hardcore Battle Royal fuckup at Wrestlemania 2000. It just looks bad when the referee is so focused on who is going to win that they get caught with their pants down either clearly stopping a count when they aren't supposed to, or stutter stepping so bad you could clearly see it was a fuckup.
So... imagine you were the referee on that night, calling it like a shoot, and yet thinking "I am doing my job the way I was instructed.... but holy shit, I just fucked up THE STREAK!"
There's actually never any hesitation by the refs when it comes to Taker, Taker himself has mentioned that he tells the ref to count to 3 or count him out if he legit can't get back in time.
So if he were to legit get hurt or something happens that prevents him from stopping a count, he would've lost the streak for real. He's also mentioned that he really wanted to end the streak many years before Lesnar ended it, but the people chosen for it kept refusing out of respect, so it makes sense that he'd be alright with it being lost that way.
Why are you guys still uploading videos that’s 4 years old now?
or atleast upload the whole thing, if it didnt sell in 4 years it wont sell now anyways
Rewatching some old Heyman ITR clips. This is possibly the best. Paul is a menace & it's f*cking AWESOME. Can't wait to hear his HOF speech.
"Why did undertaker take a year off", probably because he generally does for the last lot of years as he's barely even a part timer. He was vanishing for a year long before the streak was broken.
Exactly lol like that wasnt anything new lol
Greatest manger of all time
Nope top 3 fine top 5 for damn sure. Be it best manager or best commentator the answer is the same Bobby the Brain Heenan.... and this is from a 47 year old who always liked wwf/wwe last but truth is truth and greatness never expires.
Michael Coffey jimmy hart top 3
Yeah. He is a manger. True!!
the manger jesus was born in was probably better tbh, more renowned at least
Nah for me it's Paul bearer because he was the manager of mostly undertaker but also Kane and mankind just to name a few
The undertaker had a concussion heading into the match and one of the german suplexs brock delivered caused taker to hit his head against the mat and so taker lost due to an injury....he couldnt remember anything that night except the hospital part. He said it on the stone cold pod cast
I love how Heyman says Lesnar’s name like he’s cutting his promo even when he’s almost whispering lmao
Personally I think Undertaker losing wasn’t suppose to happen, but I also think that Brock didn’t intentionally knock him out either. No doubt Brock could take Taker down if he wanted to, but like a lot of people pointed out, he has a lot of respect for him. Accidents happen all the time
Think it wasn't but last minute, Vince changed his mind & said who else is gonna beat you so Taker let Brock end the streak.
This man is a natural story teller. I could sit back and listen to him for hours and hours.
When that match ended, you could tell he was so thankful to 'Taker for agreeing to that finish. Lesnar really isn't all that bad of a guy fundamentally. He's just a little introverted, which I totally understand.
I agree. He definitely felt obligated towards The Undertaker. If you haven't watched it, look for "Where were you when the streak ended." video on RUclips. The reaction of Brock and Heyman says it all. Brock doesn't care for the business, but he definitely appreciates The Undertaker for putting him over multiple times.
I still remember watching that match on the network and I clearly heard undertaker calling for the F5, IDK if you could still hear it but Heyman is just fucking with us. But love how he works the audience
But he has a point, not talking about the Lesnar situation though.
Just think about it for an example what if CM Punk did that vs the undertaker ? if punk did that will they be able to fire him ? he was the biggest money attraction of the company at that time and even without doing it he forced the company to push him with the pipebomb.
what Heyman is trying to say is what if a superstar decided to go off the script and was so successful that he becomes untouchable ?
Good Lord! Heyman is good!
Better salesman than Eddie Hearn and Jordan Belfort put together!!!
If Taker wasn't supposed to lose, we would know.
Vince would have lost his shit, so would Taker.
And Taker is basically retired now, he does interviews and doesn't owe the company anything. He'd say if things had fucked up that night, and he never has.
Taker took a year out because he was past it. He wasn't exactly in great shape for that match anyway.
Heyman is obviously in character here. Look, Brock is tough, but he's not the only trained fighter in WWE. He also retired from UFC because he got injured. Taker is a 300lb man who is 6'10, he could beat the hell out of Brock legit if he felt like doing it. Or at least put up enough of a fight that Brock wouldn't be able to dominate him.
Brock and Lashley are the only trained fighters on the roster I think. As in people who have a professional record in any form of combat sports. There's guys like Gable and Benjamin with considerable amateur wrestling pedigree and Corbin supposedly has Golden Gloves level Boxing.
Lesnar runs through all of them though, a near 50 year old Taker with a boatload of injuries in the bag would get seriously hurt by Lesnar, I'm not sure what you've seen to even think that Taker has a chance against Lesnar in a real fight.
@@josephdurnin7698 Taker's age and injuries are a factor now sure.
But the idea Brock can simply dominate 300lb near 7ft men with at least some degree of boxing & MMA training is buying into the hype.
There is a story that back when Brock first debuted in WWE he would challenge everyone in the locker room to arm wrestling to prove how tough he was. Apparently he couldn't beat Kane. He undoubtedly could now, the guy is 50, but at his peak he was a monster and I doubt Brock could push him around.
Strowman is no pushover.
Big Show has training in various boxing styles.
So in a situation where they actually wanted to resist Brock, there are a few who could.
@@ChildOfTheWilderness Any 290lb man who looks and moves like Lesnar would be a problem, add in a Division 1 NCAA championship background and a genuine, albeit short, stint in Mixed Martial arts and it's a wash.
None of the guys you mentioned are defending a double leg from Brock.
You say I'm buying into the hype of MMA and Boxing (despite you bringing up Big Shows Boxing training which he admits went poorly) but these guys are actually getting in there any competing against each other for the world to see, Taker, Kane, Strowman and Big Show simply haven't done that. Lesnar has.
@@josephdurnin7698 they're also old.
Plenty of pro wrestlers have some MMA background even if it's amateur like they competed in some tournaments when they were young etc.
Brock is certainly legit, but don't forget he's not even that good at UFC level anymore. His last fight he allegedly won because of doping & he was forced to retire due to a medical condition we don't know has 100% gone away.
I don't doubt he could rough up a lot of people, but I don't think it would be as easy as Heyman says.
Richie 1138
i can be sure that if it come to a real fight, Brock Lesnar can kick the shit out of all the guys in wwe.
Just maybe.. maybe Bobby Lashley can do something with Brock, the other guy will dead after fighting Brock for sure.
Imagine Heyman telling the teacher why he didnt do his homework
Imagine the ref in the situation not knowing if he should count to 3 or not
Heyman loves feeding the trolls and we love him for it lol
The only man in the universe that can out-kayfabe Jim Cornette
What's crazy is Heyman was making sense, like what if he isn't bullshitin us and Brock did do that
Such a genius
Damn. I mean, long time after the speech you realise that he was brainwashing us, but when you listen to him you can't help but to believe him and just completely focus on what he is saying. Such a talent!
this is why I love Paul Heyman. Truly the greatest story teller.
For years this question has kept me up at night
And it's 2020
2:16 that murmur from the crowd... Good god is he good. Everyone should be taking notes on how to work a crowd.
The finish of Taker V Brock was changed mid match after taker was severely concussed. That's why Paul Heyman jumped up in shock, screaming 'WHAT!?' repeatedly wheh Brock won. He didn't expect the finish.
Brock lesbar didnt need the streak he should've been added to it it wouldn't have hurted him
I don’t believe that
It’s simple, Taker knew lesnar was the only person that could beat him and Undertaker didn’t want to be just known for having the streak
Always working, love it
God the sheer brilliance of this man and how well he excels in mind manipulation is absolute God tier
This man has such a gift with words. It's on another level altogether
4:34
is that Gab Marcotti from ESPN FC in the crowd
Yeah wtf
To save you 5 minutes and 9 seconds of your time, he's basically saying that Brock Lesnar injured Undertaker on purpose and pinned him for real. Or, Taker was injured and decided to give Brock the win.
I have been saying this ever since I saw the match!!! Helps to have some in ring experience as a fan. You notice stuff like this.
Krise JSD which is bollocks
Thanks.
Krise JSD but who would want to miss out on this amazing non promo promo 😂
@@mxrder8 fax lol
My reaction is still the same. I'm not surprised that that would be a thought in Lesnar's head. Taker is getting old, his body takes a little longer to recover, plus he needs to train and work out.
If Paul talked me into marrying him
I don’t think I could say no 😂
Heyman is a genius
"The Undertaker knows what happened that night..."
Not exactly, his concussion was that bad he cannot remember that night. He can not remember his match with Brock at Mania 30 in 2014.
THATS HOW BROCK LESNAR BECAME SOUL OF WWE AND PAUL HEYMAN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MANAGER OF WRESTLING INDUSTRY🔥
This is genius. He's legitimately putting over both Lesnar and Taker at the same time. He's legitimising Lesnar's bad ass status, whilst offering the possibility that The Taker's streak didn't die and still lives. Albeit, Reigns went over later on. But maybe if Lesnar hadn't legitimately ended the streak, Roman would have never have beaten The Undertaker?
Hate him or love him he knows how to work a crowd really damn good
Paul Heyman is just Woooooow!
Man is super, super and i mean super talented at talking.
Dam Paul! That's deep as hell.
"How do you know it was a work and Taker put Lesnar over?" Mate the 21-1 graphic that flashed up immediately would tell you Taker did the job that night.
I could listen to that man all day! The best wrestling brain EVER
Can i get the full interview please dammnit man
i could listen to paul talk all day long
Reminds me of Dan Severn at the 99 Rumble. He’d had a bust up with management and admitted that it crossed his mind - what if I decide I’m not going over the rope, whose going to stop me? 😂
Paul Heyman, Mick Foley, and Chris Jericho are people I can hear talk about wrestling for a long time
it's 3 in the morning and this is fucking with my head holy shit
Love the channel
🤟
4 years later, we come to find out Undertaker got concussed and he couldn't wrestle in the match. Brock had to end it cause Taker couldn't. "He went home the next day." Not remembering anything that happened prior to 3PM at Wrestlemania XXX. This is a testament to Heyman's storytelling and holding the audience in the palm of his hand. He'll always be a legend.
Taker getting concussed was the only part not planned. The streak was gonna end either way.
I love the fact you can still feel the love of a manger for Brock. Him hanging on the ropes while screaming Broooock,. Broooock!
Heyman working these marks like they're a live crowd.
I read the title as "...Undertaker steak conspirancy"
Taker told all on the broken skull.... he ended up with a concussion 3 min into the match.. he doesn’t remember what happened from when the match started and when he was in the hospital
Damn genius, wrestling owes him so much
Love him or hate him, you cannot deny that Paul Heyman knows how to mess with an audience's minds and work the mic.
Work or shoot, Paul Heyman cuts the same promo. Love it.
1:06 Will Ospreay?!
Choas
Krameropa Michel
Bea Preistley
I was finna say the same thing
He’s so damn good he can make you believe something that isn’t true at all
Christ this man is fantastic at talking.
Ok. Undertaker collapsed and Vince did not know how dangerous it was, so he decided to let Brock win?
Did you not hear him say that the Undertaker collapsed backstage meaning after the match was over
@@reggiep.t.5295 well at least Taker must have been pretty messed up
Taker was supposed to win that match. Brock said i do what i want, drops taker knocks him out, f5 him and wins. Taker was hurt so bad from an actual fight he had been thru he collapsed
What video were you watching ?
Heyman was speculating that Vince had no decision in the result, that Brock went off script in a major way and won when he was supposed to lose.
Heyman was obviously lying but I something else must have happened
Heyman is such a good story teller, I personally think what happened was what was meant to happen, Taker didn't know how much he had in the tank and respects Brock enough to let him take the clout.
I think Taker was supposed to win that match ! Heymans reaction at the end of the match was too real and deffo not planned ! He was as shocked as everyone in the crowd !
You're dumb
Entertaining ; He owned the audience . If i went into Paul Heyman's office as a talent ready to negotiate a pay rise he would probably send me packing happy, but i would have accomplished nothing , that's how persuasive and talented he is .
Heyman should have a podcast too.
I like the way Heyman sell stuff this guy is a goat !
Heyman is so god damn good on the mic
Heyman at his best reminding everyone that kayfabe can not only exist perfectly well in the current climate, but with the right mouth behind the mic, elevates the story beyond. As he said in another interview, quoting Bully Ray "Strike a chord, man". And that's exactly what he did. There's no way this actually happened because Heyman and Lesnar would never purposely try to legit injure another wrestler intentionally, jobber or Undertaker (Strowman got his receipt at the Rumble and was quickly told to 'slow the fuck down' after delivering a stiff knee to Lesnar, which resulted in the very real right straight afterwards, but thats Lesnar just giving the guy a little love-tap considering his size and ability to take a potato (no way Lesnar throws that without knowing he has to keep Strowman conscious).
Just my points of view, right or wrong as they may be.
My friends say im crazy for being such a big Paul Heyman fan.. and I say maybe I am crazy but he deserves all the respect in the world. Am I wrong?
Streak NEVER should have ended!!!
I would buy it if i hadn't known over a 2years ago, that vince mcmahon decided that brock should end the streak.... hell, heyman is really a "killer when it comes at the mic!!!! Much respect for you heyman!!!
Love how Heyman prefaced this hypothetical scenario with “this shit definitely didn’t go down this way” and people still think he’s giving them his legitimate opinion on what he thinks happened that night
Dude his skills on the Mic are beyond possibilitie
