D-Von Dudley believes Paul Heyman\'s habit of doing everything on his own was one of the reasons for the downfall of the original ECW.
The Attitude Era star who worked extensively with both Vince McMahon and Heyman during his career talked about the difference between the two in a video on his new YouTube channel.
While discussing the things he didn\'t like about both the bosses, D-Von noted that Paul did not like asking for help even when he knew that he needed it:
\"Paul had so much responsibility on his hands, he trusted nobody. Even though he knew he needed help, he was still going to carry the load all by himself. He didn\'t care. I think that\'s what burned him out.
Probably one of the things that I feel that probably closed the doors of ECW. You got to have that help. You got to be able to put your pride aside and go \'Hey I need help. Can you help do this? Can you help do that?\'\
It Was My Home: D-Von Dudley
According to the wrestling veteran, this is one of the reason for the failures of the original ECW as Heyman burnt himself up while trying to keep the brand going:
\"When you\'re trying to live up to the hype that ECW created, it\'s hard to keep doing it on a regular basis when you don\'t have any help. So that was one of the things I wish Paul could have done because maybe the company would have been around, who knows.
But that\'s one of the things that I feel that Paul basically I didn\'t like about it. I wanted to see ECW survive because it was my home. It was my first home and it was sad to me when it was gone.\
Paul Heyman took over the creative of ECW in 1993. He became the sole owner of the company in 1995 and started it off on the path that changed the wrestling world. The promotion folded due to financial difficulties in 2001, however, as Heyman failed to secure a new TV deal for it before WWE bought it in 2003.
