Paul Heyman gives some insight to his Hall of Fame speech.
Paul Heyman is set to be inducted into the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame in Philadelphia, which was the base for ECW. Heyman has worn many hats during his wrestling career, from photographer to promoter to manager and has influenced many careers including Roman Reigns, Steve Austin, and CM Punk.
Heyman is known for his gift of gab, and he plans on using his sharp mind and tongue in his Hall of Fame speech.
“No, I’m gonna figure this out as we go on. I’m gonna take the pulse of the room that night. I’m gonna wing this. I don’t know what the crowd itself is expecting from me, is this a crowd that wants me to talk about the modern day WWE and Roman Reignd and The Bloodline and the WrestleMania main event, is this a crowd in Philadelphia that wants to talk about ECW, is this a crowd that’s looking for some inspiration in a speech about pursuing one’s dreams? I really won’t know until I take the temperature of the room that night, as you know better than I, you always have to know your audience. Once I steal the crowd, I’ll pretty much know what I have to do to deliver for them," said Heyman in an interview with Rich Eisen on The Rich Eisen Show on The Roku Channel.
A presenter for Heyman has not been announced.
Elsewhere during the interview, Heyman commented on what inning the Bloodline story is in. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
