Paul Heyman's Next Promo for EA Sports MMA Featuring Fabricio Werdum

The first promo Heyman did with Nick Diaz was pretty good. Nothing special but it held some promise for what was to come. Then he hit us with the Frank Shamrock spot and I blasted it for being so horrific. I don't think they could have failed harder with that second video. I made sure to say that they better knock it out of the park with the next three and first up is the Fabricio Werdum promo. He's one for one. This promo is brilliant. It's simple but it's the exact right way to go about promoting Werdum. Cutting game footage in and out with Werdum sitting there at the HP, reliving that historic night, was great. His delivery of his lines was spot on and actually makes me want to play the game. They hit a home run with this one. Two more to go.

So much better then the Frank Shamrock one, you wouldn’t think they were made by the same people.

Exactly.

I love this one. Werdum really did a good job with the emotions on his face while he watched. Great stuff.

Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

Frank’s one could have been easy to do. Highlights of his best moments, like signalling “Sleepy Time” to Baroni before dropping him and have something similar happen in the gameplay (gameplay taunts would be a great option).

I liked them all

The Frank Shamrock video may not have been your particular cup of vodka but I liked it. I don’t see any reason for Paul Heyman to return to pro wrestling unless wwe or tna hires him to brand a product.

I agree with you Geno,

Frank’s was terrible, this one is brilliant.
