Heyman was hired, but the three men could not agree on a unified direction for the company. After a few months, Gilbert resigned from the company entirely, citing burnout, and Heyman became sole booker, beginning with their Ultra Clash show in September 1993.

Paul E. Dangerously managed a few wrestlers, including Sabu and 911, but Heyman's increased workload led to him making fewer and fewer appearances on-camera.

A year later, changing its name to Extreme Championship Wrestling, the company left the National Wrestling Alliance and became its own entity, with Heyman encouraging wrestlers to express their true feelings about the WWF, WCW and the NWA, and allowing them to help develop their own characters. Eventually, Heyman became owner of Extreme Championship Wrestling and helped it to grow and become the third-ranking promotion in America. Paul Heyman served as booker, promoter, and the executive producer of both live events and television. After Gordon left, he also had to deal with financial matters, which led to ever-increasing debts owed to the wrestlers. He was said to have been living so close to the edge during his time in ECW that many wrestlers had to pull him back to reality so he would not kill himself, business-wise, as said on The Rise and Fall of ECW. The Rise and Fall of ECW is a documentary DVD produced by World Wrestling Entertainment.

ECW achieved national prominence, but folded in 2001. Paul and a handful of other wrestlers have said that the death of ECW was for two reasons. One was that Paul did not like sharing power and he was getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night, if any. The second reason was ECW could not get on another network deal. Paul Heyman has said that Eric Bischoff had tried so hard to put ECW out of business that Paul had called him a coward, using the billion dollar Turner-backed company to put under a young upstart company like ECW.
