On a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone expressed his happiness for Paul Heyman’s WWE Hall of Fame induction.
Heyman was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024 this past Friday before WrestleMania 40 kicked off over the weekend.
Schiavone said, “Paul E is one of the greatest talkers the business has ever seen. By far. Nobody can cut a promo like Paul E. Dangerously, even today. And I think he is deserving of this Hall of Fame honor, for many, many reasons.
But I think that his ability to talk and cut a promo is far superior to almost anyone. [He’s] one of the greatest promos ever. I mean Flair, Cornette, Paul E., or Paul Heyman, are three of the greatest talkers ever. Paul E. Dangerously knows to get over, you’ve got to be able to talk, and he is able to do it.”
Heyman’s WWE Hall of Fame speech is the most-viewed speech ever regarding social media metrics.
