- Alternative Character Interpretation: Following the "I Did What I Had to Do" thread on the main tab, was he merely victim of circumstances beyond his control or simply a man with one of the most extreme cases of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder the bussines has ever seen?
- Badass Decay: His arm injuries played a major role in his career choices after 1990. Had his limb been completely cured, who knows what lengths he could have gone to?
- Iron Woobie: "Mr. Wonderful", character-wise, came from an era when absolutely no heel dared to either betray Bobby Heenan or to out-perform the World Heavyweight Champion at any capacity unless he was put over to the spot of being his rightful, albeit Sketchy Successor. Thus, Paul might have had verily valid reasons to end backstabbing them both up.
- Stuck in Their Shadow: It came with the gimmick. He was dealing with the most popular wrestler of his day... "brother!!!"
