Paul Heyman is setting the bar high for Austin Theory.
In an interview with Busted Open, Heyman compared the newest member of The Vision to one of the biggest stars in WWE history, noting that he had the size and discipline to become a major player.
“He’s Shawn Michaels when Shawn Michaels was in The Rockers,” he declared. “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 went as far to say that if Theory was able to get everything together, he would be ‘untouchable.’
“He’s highly intelligent. He speaks to the youth. He looks great and can work his balls off,” he added. “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.”
Theory was introduced as the newest member of The Vision at the end of last year after aiding the group at Survivor Series, helping them win their War Games match. In the months since, he has regularly teamed with stablemates Bronson Reed and Logan Paul.
