Most awkward interview ever? WWE manager Paul Heyman gives our man a verbal smackdown

A few weeks ago, GamesRadar+ was offered an interview with wrestling mastermind (and Brock Lesnar advocate) Paul Heyman to talk WWE 2K17 – and naturally, I accepted the gig with glee. Bad move. Known as one of the most accomplished bad guys in the business, Heyman went into full-on heel mode, and gave me a verbal hammering of proportions even Lesnar would struggle to reach. It’s simultaneously both a career highlight and lowlight. And you can watch it, for your own entertainment, below.

WWE 2K17 is released on PS4, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 on October 11.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
