Paul Heyman has heat with Ric Flair.
In the lead up to WWE SummerSlam, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns appeared on ESPN to promote the show. During the interview, Stephen A. Smith asked Heyman if he thought he was a better manager than Bobby Heenan.
"I'm the GOAT. Screw [Bobby Heenan], he's dead. Jimmy Hart is still alive, which proves God doesn't answer my prayers," said Heyman.
Those comments didn't go over well with Ric Flair.
"I know Dangerously [Heyman] was being funny on TV, but he was on First Take and Stephen A goes, 'what did you think of Bobby Heenan?' [Heyman] goes, 'Ah, he's dead. Who cares.' Everybody goes, 'That's to get heat.' It got heat with me. The answer is, 'Yeah, he's the greatest of all time.' It didn't get over with me at all. He's just being a heel. Be a heel on me. Don't say something stupid about somebody who is the greatest of all time," Flair said on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Heenan and Flair often worked together in WWE and WCW.
Elsewhere during the interview, Flair revealed he signed a two-year deal with AEW. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
