Paul Heyman is known as one of the greatest microphone workers in professional wrestling history. That is why this past week on RAW was so strange, Paul Heyman cut a poor promo. It wasn’t necessarily his fault, the plan of action was for him and Brock Lesnar to respond to Goldberg’s challenge the week prior.
The only problem was, Heyman was cutting a heel promo in Brock Lesnar’s home state of Minnesota. Heyman kept giving fans opportunities to chant for Goldberg but instead, the crowd responded with ‘GOLDBERG SUCKS’ and ‘SUPLEX CITY’ Chants. It was a strange promo that ended with Lesnar’s music hitting early.
We already reported that Vince McMahon was FURIOUS with this segment and the crowds reactions.
Heyman took to twitter to take a shot at his RAW promo. Playing off the fact that ESPN just wrote an article on his microphone skills:
Thank God the reporters at @WWEonESPN @ESPN didn’t see my promo last night or they’d pull this story IMMEDIATELY! https://t.co/nzkPNmzs7t

Important to always laugh at yourself. Not Heyman’s fault when he was booked to cut a heel promo in Brock’s home state of Minnesota. Just a poor decision all around by WWE that kind of killed the momentum that Goldberg’s return brought.
