Dutch Mantell is a big fan of Sami Zayn and The Bloodline's storyline on WWE SmackDown, saying Zayn's rise is the "greatest patience job" in wrestling.
The Bloodline saga is arguably the best in wrestling today. Each week, the faction steals the show with riveting segments that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. From Zayn making his way into the stable to becoming an "Honorary Uce" to his dissension with Jey Uso, WWE has struck gold with the storyline.
On the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell heaped praise on how WWE has patiently booked Sami Zayn's rise. The wrestling veteran also gave a lot of credit for his success to Vince McMahon's regime, under whose tenure the storyline was first put into place.

Mantell believes fans will remain invested even when Sami Zayn inevitably separates from The Bloodline and joins forces with Kevin Owens to take them down.
"The greatest patience job I have seen is with Sami Zayn. But that's not necessarily Triple H, they have stretched it out this long with the old regime. So when they do that, and I guess they bring his partner (Kevin Owens) in or whatever they do, it's gonna work. Because now he's over with the crowd, Bray Wyatt got over with the crowd," said Dutch Mantell. (9:43 - 10:08)

Dutch Mantell thinks Triple H listens to WWE fans
Furthermore, Mantell emphasized how essential it is to understand what your fans demand and deliver accordingly. He then added that Triple H reads his audience well and was booking just what the fans desired.
"Listen to your audience. When you go out, you gotta read the room and you know what to do. And I'm sure Triple H listens to those fans. They don't holler for no reason. You gotta give them a reason. They tell him where to go... Fans tell Triple H where to take it. You just got to follow the path and he's got it. It needs no Ph.D. or pseudo-science to figure it out, just listen to them," added Mantell. (10:13 - 10:52)
On last week's episode of the blue brand, Roman Reigns threatened Jey Uso that he would remove the "Honorary" tag off Sami Zayn and make him a full-blown Uso. It adds another layer of complexity to the dense Bloodline storyline, making it even more compelling.
