On Monday’s Busted Open Radio, Paul Heyman joined Bully Ray, Mark Henry and David Lagreca for a sit-down interview.
During the interview, Heyman compared the newest member of The Vision to WWE Hall of Famer and Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative for NXT, Shawn Michaels.
“He’s Shawn Michaels when Shawn Michaels was in The Rockers. My apologies to Austin Theory if that’s too low of a bar to set for him. Why not? Why not. If that kid can’t figure out the things that he’s doing wrong and accentuate the things that he’s already doing right then please tell me who can. What doesn’t he have? He has decent size and he’s only getting bigger. He has tremendous discipline, he’s not one of these guys that is out all night in Europe at the eurotrash rave in Paris at 4:30 in the morning, he’s in the gym at 4:30 in the morning and he’s back in the gym as soon as the matches are over.”
Heyman also added that Theory is highly intelligent and once he understands that being out of character, while in character, he is going to be untouchable.
“He’s highly intelligent. He speaks to the youth. He looks great and can work his balls off. So once he figures out the difference between a really good match and a money match, once he understands that being out of character while in character and relaxing within the skin of that character, Austin Theory is going to be untouchable.”
