Paul Heyman was a recent guest on the “WrestleRant” podcast to discuss WWE’s emphasis on recruiting younger talent as the company tries to bridge the gap between an older generation and the next phase of WWE wrestlers and fans. He said,
“Youth, enthusiasm, vision, desire, ambition, the unknown, the pursuit of a dream, and for an old guy like me, that’s something to be around. I learn from them because I’m in my 50s. … I’m not around a bunch of 21-, 22-, 23-, 24-, 25-year-olds, so to hear them in their own environments, around their own peers within their own culture speak their own lexicon, tell me what resonates with them. … When I speak on television, I have to not only communicate with people my own age, I have to communicate with people far younger than I am. … I benefit from this probably far more than they do.”
