Paul Heyman Says The Bloodline Is The Greatest Wrestling Story of All Time
In an interview with CBS Sports (via Fightful), Paul Heyman said that the Bloodline is his choice for the greatest wrestling storyline of all time. The storyline has run for over four years now, ever since Roman Reigns aligned with Heyman on WWE TV.
He said: “Because of the longevity that the storyline has had, I would have to rank it number one. The money-drawing years of the Horsemen weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of the NWO weren’t this long. The money-drawing years of (Steve) Austin vs. (Vince) McMahon weren’t this long. (Hulk) Hogan vs. (Randy) Savage. Hogan vs. (Roddy) Piper, which put WrestleMania 1 on the map. Just in terms of overall storytelling and constant ebb and flow of affecting other people’s environment and how they tell their stories, I would suggest it’s the most significant, it’s the biggest money drawing, it had the most longevity, has held the most interest, and overall has done so by being the most intriguing and compelling because at every turn, you see the characters, not just turn towards what the story calls for, but the long-term effects of the development and evolution of these characters is never lost on us. If something happens that changes Roman Reigns in 2022, we don’t disavow knowledge of it in 2024. It plays into what’s happening in 2024. Because of that, and because we keep it consistent, I would rank it number one. All false humility aside.“
