Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman’s tribal chief, introduced the master of the microphone in professional wrestling during the WWE Hall of Fame induction event for the class of 2024. In the center of Philadelphia, Heyman gave one of the most open and impassioned speeches anyone had ever heard.
It seemed appropriate to pay honor to Heyman’s ground-breaking accomplishments to the wrestling profession by having him inducted in the same city where he transformed the sport with ECW in the 1990s.
A Raw and Historic WWE Hall of Fame Speech
Legends like Bully Ray and Rob Van Dam, to whom Heyman gave great opportunities, were present to witness this momentous occasion.
Heyman raised the ante at the event by donning his signature ECW gear, making jokes about certain celebrities, and thanking the supporters who helped him along the way.
More than a week later, The Bloodline’s Wiseman hailed Heyman’s speech as the greatest in WWE Hall of Fame history. He took to his platform to declare it as such, jokingly suggesting that it even surpassed monumental historical speeches like the Emancipation Proclamation.
For Paul Heyman, the evening was a pinnacle achievement, being honored in the city where his wrestling journey began. Surrounded by peers and predecessors, his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame marked the culmination of his impactful legacy that continues to resonate today.
