In a recent episode of his podcast, former WWE writer Vince Russo unleashed a scathing critique of wrestling mogul Paul Heyman and his promos during the March 14th, 2025, edition of WWE Smackdown. During this show, Heyman celebrated "Roman Reigns Day" and announced that Reigns would be returning for the March 21st episode, but Russo was not impressed.

"I don’t like Paul Heyman. It’s very hard for me to be objective when it comes to Paul," Russo stated, voicing his long-standing frustrations. "I think the dude has been cutting the same freaking exact promo for the last decade, man. It’s so one-dimensional; it’s always the same thing. I think he freakin’ overacts. I am not a big Paul Heyman fan like everybody else. I am sorry, that’s my opinion."

Russo's comments echo the sentiments of some fans who believe that a fresh approach is needed in Heyman's promos. With the landscape of professional wrestling constantly evolving, listeners are eager for narratives that innovate rather than reiterate the same old tropes.

While Heyman has experienced considerable success manipulating the microphone, particularly in promoting Reigns' character as an unstoppable force, it raises the question: Has he become stagnant in his delivery? Fans are left wondering if this critical feedback will provoke a change in Heyman's style or if he will continue to draw upon his signature formula.

For wrestling enthusiasts, the debate is far from over. Will WWE executives consider this feedback and prompt a transformation in Heyman’s approach? Or will he remain the reliable voice of Reigns, delivering more "one-dimensional" promos for years to come? Only time will tell as the road to WrestleMania heats up!
