WWE Legend Says Current Roster Is Best Ever

WWE Hall Of Famer Paul Heyman believes the company’s current roster is it’s best ever.

The veteran New-Yorker has spent almost 40 years in the industry having initially received his break as a teenage photographer in the mid 1980’s. Since then he has carved out an impressive career in a multitude of capacities including owner, promoter, commentator and manager.

With such an impressive pedigree in the business, ‘The Wiseman’ is well placed to judge the quality of the roster and he has high praise for the current incumbents of the WWE locker room.

Speaking during a recent interview with CBS’ Shakiel Mahjouri, the 59 year-old highlighted current World Heavweight Champion, Gunther and reigning Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker as examples of the exciting talent currently at the company’s disposal:

“We have the deepest, most talented roster in the history of the industry.

I watch today’s roster with awe. I see Gunther, for whom English is a second language, master the language quickly. He understands how to lure in an audience and can now modulate his voice to control the emotion in the room. And you have to think he’s still translating this in his head before it comes out of his mouth.

Bron Breakker’s growth on a weekly basis is absolutely mind-boggling and awe-inspiring. Anyone around him is inspired to up their game because he’s so driven and ambitious.”

Heyman would then go on to praise the influence of Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque on the current locker room and admitted that he too was inspired by the current crop of talent in the WWE locker room:

“We are led by a creative visionary in Paul Levesque who loves to collaborate with these talents in order to find not only their greatness within, but the greatness they leave on the table and forget about at home.

It’s an inspiring creative environment that allows all of these talents to flourish today. I am admittedly the biggest fan of this ensemble cast known as WWE Raw, SmackDown and NXT that I think you will ever find.”

WWE Talent Initiative Explained by Triple H

Whilst the WWE main roster is currently stacked with impressive talent, the company are always on the lookout for new Superstars and recently announced a global talent identification initiative.

WWE Chief Content Office Triple H recently explained the plans behind the WWE ID program, which will focus on potential new talent already performing in independent promotions around the globe.
