As we previously reported here on eWn, Paul Heyman and Bull Nakano will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2024.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bully Ray weighed in on who should induct Heyman into the WWE Hall of Fame.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if Tommy Dreamer should induct Paul Heyman: “A lot of people on social media have said Tommy, but you have two WWE Hall of Famers who were pretty big stars in ECW, and that’s Rob Van Dam and the Dudleys.”
On how the induction is bigger than just ECW: “If you just look at this with blinders on, from an ECW point of view, yes, Tommy Dreamer is the guy, but this is bigger than ECW.”
The 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on April 5, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the night preceding WrestleMania 40.
Paul Heyman and Bull Nakano have been announced as the latest inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024. This prestigious honor recognizes their contributions and impact on the world of professional wrestling. As fans eagerly anticipate the induction ceremony, speculation has arisen regarding who will have the honor of inducting Paul Heyman into the Hall of Fame.
Bully Ray, a former professional wrestler and current host of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, recently shared his thoughts on who should have the privilege of inducting Heyman. Many fans on social media have suggested Tommy Dreamer, another prominent figure from the ECW era, as the ideal candidate. However, Bully Ray believes that there are other deserving individuals who should be considered.
According to Bully Ray, both Rob Van Dam and the Dudleys (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) would be fitting choices to induct Paul Heyman into the WWE Hall of Fame. These two wrestlers achieved great success during their time in ECW and have since become WWE Hall of Famers themselves. Their connection to Heyman and their shared experiences in ECW make them suitable candidates for this significant role.
Bully Ray also emphasized that Heyman’s induction into the Hall of Fame goes beyond his contributions to ECW. While Heyman’s impact on ECW cannot be understated, his influence extends far beyond that particular promotion. Heyman has played various roles in WWE, including serving as a creative writer and on-screen manager for several wrestlers. His contributions to the wrestling industry as a whole make his induction a momentous occasion.
The 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled to take place on April 5 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This event will precede WrestleMania 40, adding to the excitement surrounding the weekend. Fans can expect a memorable night filled with heartfelt speeches, emotional moments, and well-deserved recognition for the inductees.
As the wrestling community eagerly awaits the induction of Paul Heyman and Bull Nakano into the WWE Hall of Fame, the speculation surrounding who will have the honor of inducting Heyman continues to generate excitement. Whether it is Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, or the Dudleys, the chosen individual will undoubtedly pay tribute to Heyman’s remarkable career and lasting impact on the wrestling industry.
