Paul Heyman was born on September 11, 1965 in Westchester County, New York, to Richard S. Heyman (died June 25, 2013), a prominent personal injury attorney, and Sulamita Heyman (died February 27, 2009). His family was Jewish, and his mother was a Holocaust survivor. By age 11, he was running a mail order business selling celebrity and sports memorabilia from his home. While still a teenager, he fast-talked his way backstage at a World Wide Wrestling Federation event at Madison Square Garden as a photojournalist.

Heyman decided he wanted to work in professional wrestling when he saw Vince McMahon interviewing Superstar Billy Graham. He began as a photographer when he was 13 and bought his own photo lab to take photos of pro wrestlers in New York. He published his own newsletter, The Wrestling Times Magazine, and wrote for third-party wrestling publications such as Pro Wrestling Illustrated. At the age of 14, he called Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the parent company of the World Wide Wrestling Federation, and obtained a backstage pass for Madison Square Garden, his first official work in pro wrestling. Heyman met Dusty Rhodes at a Jim Crockett Promotions taping, when he entered a production meeting. In 1985, Heyman was hired by New York Studio 54 as photographer. The same year, he became producer of Studio 54 and hosted the first Wrestle Party 85 show. He called Jim Crockett, who sent Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA. The show featured Bam Bam Bigelow's debut and an award to Flair.  At the urging of Bigelow, Heyman made his managerial debut on January 2, 1987, initially appearing on the Northeast independent circuit before moving to a more high-profile stint with Championship Wrestling from Florida in February 1987. There, he joined forces with Kevin Sullivan and Oliver Humperdink, and acquired the name Paul E. Dangerously because of his resemblance to Michael Keaton's character in Johnny Dangerously. After CWF was absorbed by Jim Crockett Promotions, Bigelow brought him to Memphis and the Continental Wrestling Association to manage Tommy Rich and Austin Idol in a heated feud with Jerry Lawler, a war which later carried over to the American Wrestling Association (AWA), with the Original Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey and Randy Rose) taking over for Idol and the face-turned Rich.  The Paul E. Dangerously gimmick was an extension of Heyman's own personality: a brash New Yorker with a yuppie attitude, often seen holding a mobile phone, which was occasionally used as a "foreign object" (according to Heyman, he decided to use the mobile phone as a weapon when he watched Gordon Gekko in Wall Street). After departing the AWA, Heyman went to the Alabama-based Continental Wrestling Federation. Heyman joined with Eddie Gilbert's Hot Stuff Inc. stable. Behind the scenes, Gilbert was the head booker of the promotion, and Heyman became his assistant. Heyman was also the head booker for Windy City Wrestling in Chicago and started developing a reputation as being an innovative television writer and producer. CANNOTANSWER

what happened in 1987?
Paul Heyman föddes 11 september 1965 i Westchester County i New York till Richard S. Heyman (död 25 juni 2013), en framstående personskadeadvokat, och Sulamita Heyman (död 27 februari 2009). Hans familj var jude, och hans mor överlevde förintelsen. Vid 11 års ålder drev han en postorderverksamhet som sålde kändis- och sportminnen från sitt hem. Medan han fortfarande var tonåring snabbpratade han sig fram bakom scenen på ett World Wide Wrestling Federation-evenemang på Madison Square Garden som fotojournalist. Heyman bestämde sig för att han ville arbeta inom professionell brottning när han såg Vince McMahon intervjua Superstar Billy Graham. Han började som fotograf när han var 13 och köpte ett eget fotolabb för att ta bilder av probrottare i New York. Han publicerade ett eget nyhetsbrev, The Wrestling Times Magazine, och skrev för tredje part brottningspublikationer som Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Vid 14 års ålder kallade han Capitol Wrestling Corporation, moderbolag för World Wide Wrestling Federation, och skaffade sig ett backstagepass för Madison Square Garden, hans första officiella arbete inom probrottning. Heyman träffade Dusty Rhodes på en Jim Crockett Promotions-inspelning, när han kom in på ett produktionsmöte. 1985 anställdes Heyman av New York Studio 54 som fotograf. Samma år blev han producent för Studio 54 och var värd för den första Wrestle Party 85-showen. Han ringde Jim Crockett, som skickade Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes och Magnum TA. I showen medverkade Bam Bam Bigelows debut och ett pris till Flair. På uppmaning av Bigelow, Heyman gjorde sin chefsdebut den 2 januari 1987, initialt visas på nordöstra oberoende kretsen innan du flyttar till en mer uppmärksammad stint med Championship Wrestling från Florida i februari 1987. Där gick han samman med Kevin Sullivan och Oliver Humperdink, och förvärvade namnet Paul E. Farligt på grund av sin likhet med Michael Keatons karaktär i Johnny Dangerously. Efter att CWF absorberats av Jim Crockett Promotions förde Bigelow honom till Memphis och Continental Wrestling Association för att hantera Tommy Rich och Austin Idol i en hetsig fejd med Jerry Lawler, ett krig som senare förde över till American Wrestling Association (AWA), med Original Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey och Randy Rose) som tog över för Idol och den ansiktevända Rich. The Paul E. Dangerously gimmick var en förlängning av Heymans egen personlighet: en brash New Yorker med en yuppie-attityd, ofta sedd med att hålla en mobiltelefon, som då och då användes som ett "utländskt objekt" (enligt Heyman bestämde han sig för att använda mobiltelefonen som vapen när han såg Gordon Gekko i Wall Street). Efter att ha avgått från AWA gick Heyman till Alabama-baserade Continental Wrestling Federation. Heyman gick med i Eddie Gilberts Hot Stuff Inc.-stall. Bakom kulisserna var Gilbert befordrarens huvudbokare, och Heyman blev hans assistent. Heyman var även huvudbokare för Windy City Wrestling i Chicago och började utveckla ett rykte som en innovativ TV-författare och producent. CANNOTANSWER Ställ en fråga om den här artikeln.
