Heyman has since responded...

During the post-SummerSlam press conference, Roman Reigns’ advocate Paul Heyman infamously declared that The Bloodline story is yet to hit its stride, and the story is only at the bottom of the third inning.

WWE legend, Kurt Angle has called out Heyman for these comments on his podcast, and the former WWE Champion doesn’t hold back his thoughts on The Bloodline saga:

"The storyline is great, I love it, but I think Heyman was full of s*it," he said. "I think they're in the eighth inning, and they're stressed. They're making sh*t up now. That's what I believe. Paul Heyman, I know him, and I know that he's probably going crazy right now, 'What do we do next?'"

As expected, Heyman has decided to fire back at Angle’s comments in a Tweet yesterday which read:

“No matter what inning we’re in, at least we’re not looking for exposure thru the next Old Timer’s Day. Ahem. And just for the record, I typed this tweet with a broken freakin’ fingernail!”.

Angle isn’t the only wrestling legend to call out WWE following SummerSlam, as former WCW President, Eric Bischoff called the main event matchup between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso “boring”. Taking to his podcast, this was the scathing criticism that Bischoff offered Reigns vs. Jey Uso:

“…I just — I was disappointed. Because my expectations. And part of it might have been, and maybe that’s kind of the reaction that the audience — you know, the expectations have been so high for anything Bloodline-related, because it’s been so awesome for so long. This wasn’t. This was maintenance. This didn’t advance anything in my opinion. Technically it did, on paper it did. Okay, you can argue that if you want online if you have nothing else to do with your life, you can debate that. But for me, just in terms of emotion and interest and reaction. My visceral response is, I was bored.”

“I did not enjoy this match at all. Nothing about it made me look forward to Monday Night Raw or SmackDown on Friday night. It was just — I mean, I get why people are saying, ‘Oh, it feels like it could be 1999, 2000 nWo, because it didn’t move the needle. It checked a couple of boxes, but it did not move an emotional needle whatsoever, for me.”
