AJ Francis has high praise for Paul Heyman.
Francis is in the midst of a successful run in TNA, a run that started a just over one year ago. Throughout that time, Francis has held the TNA Digital Media Championship and established his First Class faction alongside Rich Swann and KC Navarro.
While chatting with Compas On The Beat for a new interview, AJ Francis spoke about forging a relationship with Paul Heyman during his time in WWE and how that relationship is still going strong to this day.
“Paul’s the best. Of all the people that are still in WWE, [the one] I talk to the most is Paul Heyman as far as management goes. Paul has always been one of my biggest backers and biggest believers. Paul is the best promo of all time, I will stand on that, I dare you to challenge that. I’m very grateful for the tutelage I’ve been able to get from him and the fact that he actually listens to the things I send him and watches the videos I send him. There’s a lot of people in this business that’ll say, ‘Yeah, send me something and I’ll get back to you’, but they don’t, because they don’t really give a fuck to be honest with you, they only care about themselves. They don’t care about the wrestling business, they don’t care about growing young talent. Paul Heyman is not like that. Paul Heyman, if he believes in you, he’s going to give everything he has to you and I am forever grateful to him for that.”
