Rob Van Dam has chosen Paul Heyman as the best promo-cutter of the year in the inaugural Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
RVD is one of the esteemed panelists, and he went with his old friend in the promo category, which featured the following nominees:
- MJF from AEW
- CM Punk from AEW
- Paul Heyman from WWE
- Britt Baker from AEW
- Edge from WWE
RVD commented on how believable Heyman is with his words and how he had mastered utilizing emotion in his promos.
The WWE Hall of Famer also praised his former manager's willingness to "think outside the box" and continually push the boundaries of how promos are delivered in professional wrestling.
"I am going to have to go with Paul, with Paul. It's because he puts so much emotion into everything he says. He speaks with such conviction that everything that comes out is believable. You think that he really feels the way he is telling you how he feels about whatever the promo is. He is so good that you know when he goes outside of his regular box too and is never afraid to do that and when he does that, it's always for the right reason. My vote goes to Paul," revealed RVD.
