Paul Heyman is no authority at all.

He knows the ECW style of wrestling has shortened carriers, if not lives, with people smacking each other in the heads with frying pans and putting one another through pane glass windows. Of course he would say that brain damage is a non-factor. It's like asking the head of the world's largest cigarette chain if smoking has any long-term negative effects.

I can't remember who it was, maybe New Jack himself, but they brought up how ECW had only one person die during their entire run (Louie Spicolli) when WWE had double-digit numbers.

The rest of the deaths were either from independent health issues or drug overdoses. Which I wouldn't fault Paul on since those overdoses were from people who had substance abuse issues already.
