Paul Heyman's focusses on the chaotic life of a "sports entertainment or entertaining-sport franchise" in his latest Heyman Hustle blog. "When I owned and ran Extreme Championship Wrestling, I used to joke about my perception of the real job behind the job title. I always told my staff that my job was a firefighter. I spent half my time putting out fires. New Jack stabbed somebody.

"The Dudleys beat up 40 people in a National Guard Armory riot, and everyone's suing. Sabu missed his flight or wanted to take a booking in Outer Kalakalakaville because the overseas promoter wanted an "Extreme Death Match" and would pay him a lot of money, someone didn't get their video tape and was complaining to the Better Business Bureau, you name it. Always a problem. Ten problems an hour...

"Such is the day of a person running a sports entertainment or entertaining-sport franchise. You don't own the business,the business owns you. Dana White knows this all too well. He has a favorite saying, "every day when I wake up, I know bad shit is going to happen." Oh, how correct he is." To read the full blog, visit HeymanHustle.com.

Powell's POV: Another great blog from Heyman, who runs through the various problems that White has gone through with the UFC 106 card.
