Paul Heyman says he is the greatest of all time, and his association with Roman Reigns proves it.
During an appearance on First Take, Stephen A. Smith asked Heyman what it was like to be him.
“I’m the GOAT. I’m the greatest of all time,” he said. “Undisputed.”
Smith brought up legendary manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, and Heyman replied by stating that he was dead. He went on to highlight Reigns’ greatness and questioned why Reigns would settle for less than the best.
“Screw him, he’s dead. Jimmy Hart’s still alive, which proves that god doesn’t answer my prayers. You want me to prove to you that I’m the GOAT? I’m with [Roman Reigns] Why would he settle for anything less than the GOAT? He’s ‘the Tribal Chief.’ He’s the highest box-office attraction in the history of not only sports or entertainment, but of sports entertainment.
“He has smashed every box-office record that WWE has ever had, not just domestically, but all over the world on a global basis. He has done it in Saudi Arabia, he has done it in the UK, he has done it in Mexico, he’s done it in Canada, he’s done it here the United States. He continues to do it every on SmackDown every Friday night, just topping the previous Friday nights. Why would he settle for any less than the absolute best?

RVD Praises Paul Heyman
Speaking on 1 of a Kind with RVD, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam praised Paul Heyman. He called the former ECW boss the greatest booker of all time.
“I think you know that as far as booking goes, in my opinion, I think he’s the best,” RVD admitted. “And that’s also because I like his stuff in particular. He got a lot of pushback from the WWE office in 2001 during the Alliance. A lot of his ideas got opposed.
“Same thing when we brought ECW back for the Sci-Fi network. A lot of his ideas were opposed. There were other bookers in the office that think completely different. They would think it’s ridiculous, I think Paul’s got the best ideas cause they thought the exact opposite and tried to stop all of his ideas. But I agree with that sentence that he’s the best that I know of.” [H/T: Wrestling Writing]
