It was a good thing WWE head Vince McMahon didn’t listen to then-employee Paul Heyman.
Heyman, the mastermind between the pro wrestling industry-changing ECW promotion in the 90s, revealed Monday that the WWE had the option to not allow The Ultimate Fighter 1 to follow Raw and didn’t take it.
“I was there in the room when we decided whether to let The Ultimate Fighter come on after Monday Night Raw,” Heyman told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “They had the right to approve or decline any programming that followed them.”
