Paul Heyman discusses his one man show in New Orleans and much more in this Newsweek interview

Wrestling fans can add one more thing to do in New Orleans the week of WrestleMania: An Evening with Paul Heyman. A one-man show presented by Inside the Ropes will get the audience up close and personal with one of  WWE’s most recognizable and engaging orators.
