18 Years After WWE Firing, Paul Heyman Becomes a Hall of Fame Inductee: Official Reports

Paul Heyman has had a complicated past with WWE. However, overlooking some controversies that the infamous manager has found himself in, Heyman has helped out the Stamford-based company in several ways, including the storylines that he has been featured in. The former ECW head is now a Bloodline member and soon will be honored by WWE for his dedication to the promotion.

WWE will honor Paul Heyman before WrestleMania 40

As per the tradition, the Hall of Fame induction this year will also take place before WrestleMania 40. The former promoter has worked with WWE for several years, taking on different roles. To value his presence in the promotion, WWE will be inducting him into the Hall of Fame along with the 2024 batch.

New exclusive reports from The Associated Press, along with the Stamford-based company, have revealed that he is going to be one of the inductees in the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

Heyman is the first out of the few names that will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as the 2024 batch. We can see that his relations with the promotion have come a long way since he was fired from the company in 2006.

After acquiring the rights to ECW in 2003, Vince McMahon worked closely with Heyman to keep the same touch with his newly formed brand. However, due to creative differences, this idea couldn’t work just as well as ECW was operating alone. As a result, due to some ideas that Heyman put forward, McMahon didn’t like, consequently firing The Wise Man from the company.

In 2012, he returned to the promotion again, and the rest is history. Now, we are seeing the manager get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Last year, Heyman also talked about where he got this talent from.

Paul Heyman credits his father

The Wiseman’s father, Richard S. Heyman was an advocate by profession. Having played an ‘advocate’ in kayfabe, everybody wondered how Heyman was so naturally good with public speaking. In an interview, he shed light on the same and gave the due credit to his father for his increased confidence with this skill.

Since Richard spent his life performing in front of juries, Heyman had to work a little on the natural skills and learn how to speak in front of thousands of people in a stadium. Still, he believes it wouldn’t have been possible without his father.
