WWE Hall Of Famer Praises Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman Pairing

WWE

Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman have been the top pairing on WWE television for nearly three years now, when Roman aligned with Heyman following his return at SummerSlam in 2020.

Reigns captured the Universal Championship the following week at Payback, and has reigned as the champion ever since.

Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip Podcast, legendary WWE manager Jimmy Hart spoke about Reigns and Heyman’s pairing, as well as Heyman’s comments on ESPN’s First Take recently.

He said:

“I’m just telling you how I really feel (there are plenty of managers that were better than I was). The guy that hosts the thing, Stephen A. Smith, he said, ‘Heyman, I’d like to be a manager like you’ and he said, ‘You can’t. I’m the GOAT.’ He said, ‘Well what about Bobby Heenan?’ And he said, ‘Ah, screw Bobby Heenan.’ Then Heyman went, ‘And Jimmy Hart, he’s still alive. The Lord hasn’t answered my prayers yet’ (Hart laughed).

“I went, ‘Oh my God.’ But it’s okay, it is what it is. I still love Paul, he’s the greatest… This day in time, you gotta be so careful what you say, so you don’t get any feedback from anybody going, hey, you wished another guy was dead.”

When asked if he would want to manage Roman Reigns if he were managing in WWE today, Hart responded:

“First of all, he (Roman Reigns) does a great job and Paul (Heyman) fits him so greatly, Paul fits him to a T. I think my character’s a little bit too over-the-top for that because I’m more like, ‘Whoa! Hey baby! How you doing!?’

“That’s always been my thing. Up-tempo, never kind of laid back and I just kind of think Roman does such a great job along with Paul together and they really fit good together.”

Jimmy did name Pretty Deadly as the current WWE stars that he would want to manage if he were managing today.
