The WWE Hall of Fame class of 2024 ceremony saw the inclusion of the influential and the maestro of the microphone wrestling figure, Paul Heyman, inducted by his Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, delivering one of the rawest and most candid speeches of all time in the city of Philadelphia.

Paul Heyman getting inducted in the same city where he made his mark with ECW in the 1990s felt fitting, paying tribute to his groundbreaking contributions to the industry. The presence of ECW legends like Rob Van Dam and Bully Ray added to the significance of Heyman’s induction, as they came to witness the man who provided them with significant opportunities take his place in history.

During the ceremony, Heyman added to the excitement by recreating his iconic ECW look, taking hilarious jabs at some stars, and swearing to his core while continuously acknowledging the support of the fans who helped him live his dream.

Over a week after Heyman delivered, what many would argue as one of the most spectacular addresses of all time, The Bloodline’s Wiseman took to his X to proclaim that indeed it was the greatest speech in the history of the WWE Hall of Fame.

@methodman) gets it right. GREATEST #WWEHOF speech of all time (and even adds “hands down”)!

You’ll have to pardon me for being nit picky (esp to a #WuTangGuy), but why limit the praise to “Hall of Fame” speeches? Let’s just all agree. GREATEST. SPEECH. EVER!

For Paul Heyman, the evening was a crowning achievement, being honored in the city of brotherly love, that played a pivotal role in his career. Surrounded by peers and predecessors who shaped professional wrestling, Heyman’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame marked the culmination of his legacy that is relevant even to this date.
