Paul Heyman: Master of reactions

Bill Hanstock
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.

Paul Heyman has been around pro wrestling for decades. He’s been a hustler, a manager, the owner of ECW, a revolutionary, Brock Lesnar’s best friend, a sage, a mentor and widely considered one of the finest minds in all of combat sports. Above it all though, Paul Heyman is a master of having a face. And of having his face react to things.

To wit:

Look at that. you can’t teach that. Sweaty. Bug-eyed. Full of concern, consternation, compassion, horror, despair and just about any other emotion you can think of. They’re all packed into that face. All of them. All of the emotions. Paul Heyman is a silent-movie star born 50 years too late. Poor Paul Heyman. It is with this GIF that we attempt to pay homage to you and to immortalize all of the things that you do.

Also lol.
