Heyman, all the same, has been noted for beingness a hard personality and has had several feuds with wrestlers, including A.J. Styles and Gallows and Anderson.[76] Former ECW wrestler Tommy Dreamer has spoken almost how he planned to electrocute Heyman at WrestleMania X-Seven due to Heyman's fiscal mistreatment of Dreamer.[77]

Professional person wrestling promoter and booker Eric Bischoff has praised and been disquisitional of Heyman, stating "the idea of working with Paul wasn't going to brand me go 'ooh wow, I wonder what that'south going to be similar'. And we didn't always get along all that corking by the style. Nosotros weren't adversarial or annihilation like that but he was doing his thing, I was doing mine kind of affair." "By the fourth dimension I got to WWE and WCW was no more, and ECW was no more than, and nosotros were both talents at WWE, Paul and I spent a lot of time talking, creatively and historically and just our general feeling of things, and developed a great relationship. We kinda kept information technology kayfabe, considering nosotros never knew when nosotros might take an opportunity to brand some money together, so we kinda wanted people to buy into the 'Heyman hates Bischoff', 'Bischoff hates Heyman' story but it wasn't true at all".[78]

In 2021, legendary professional wrestling commentator Jim Ross, who worked with Heyman in WCW and WWE and was Heyman's former broadcast partner in the WWE, praised Heyman stating "He's merely so damn smart and he gets information technology. He knew what the hell he was doing. He was a really good antagonist considering sometimes the best antagonists are the villains that say things that yous know are true but you merely don't want to hear them. Heyman had the ability to tell his version of the truth, [he was] plausible. He merely wasn't a heel getting himself over, he got talent over and did a dandy chore".[79]
