You know you are seeing something special on occasion, and that is what one prominent WWE personality is talking about.

During an interview with CBS Sports, Paul Heyman praised the Bloodline storyline, describing it as the greatest storyline in WWE history. Heyman cited the story’s longevity and all of the impact that it had on various people, including the long term storytelling. The Bloodline story began in 2020 when Heyman and Roman Reigns joined forces for the first time. Here are Heyman’s comments, with transcription courtesy of Fightful:

“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.“

It has been a heck of a story. Check out Heyman and the Bloodline:

Opinion: The storyline certainly has some incredible longevity, though it helps when the company is guaranteed to be profitable, allowing them to present pretty much anything they want with no negative financial impact. It helps that the storyline has been quite the roller coaster and it should be interesting to see how it wraps up, whenever that might be. It seems like we almost have to be coming up on the ending, but that has been the case for a rather long time now.
