On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T discussed Paul Heyman’s impending WWE Hall of Fame induction. He said,
“As far as Paul Heyman goes I’ve always said it, Paul Heyman is a genius. He’s a guy that… his knowledge is vast as far as this business goes and it’s been that way for a very, very long time. It goes back to when Paul Heyman had hair.
“I learned so much from Paul Heyman, to this day, and he’s one of my favorite people. And as far as one being deserving of stepping into the Hall of Fame … he’s well deserving. More so than many.”
Heyman had previously turned down WWE’s offer to be in the Hall of Fame but will be inducted in ECW’s old stomping ground of Philadelphia, PA.
Yesterday, WWE announced that Bull Nakano will join Heyman in the WWE Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will take place on April 5.
