Why Paul Heyman's 2002 WWE Smackdown Was The Best

Paul Heyman has a genius mind for the wrestling business, and Vince McMahon saw this when he made Heyman the WWE SmackDown lead writer in 2002. In fact, McMahon gave Paul Heyman almost free reign over the product, thanks to his track record with ECW, where he worked magic with far more limited resources. He transformed SmackDown at the start of the WWE brand extension, making it feel like a totally separate product to WWE Raw. In this wrestling documentary we will see how Paul Heyman introduced the SmackDown Six and pushed Brock Lesnar, revolutionising the brand, and we will also look at why his tenure was relatively short lived.
