Paul Heyman could've been a legit inductee as far back as 2004 if WWE wanted it, and no one would've complained. 20 years later, he's far surpassed that. The GOAT of managers.
man... i used to hate paul because he such a great heel manager but now i adore this man what a LEGEND and he deserve every accolades that comes to him
It’s only because Vince was fired and doesn’t call the shots anymore. If Vince was still in charge there’s no way he would let Heyman go on a talk show or be in the hall of fame
tj bro i felt it when your voice got shaky speaking about and to the greatness that is paul heyman. flowers to you for being able to show such a beautiful soul the respect he deserves
@@tjjefferson5973You said pretty much what this die hard old school wrestling fan wanted to say. ECW alone was such a huge part of my wrestling heritage and seeing Paul at The Elks Lodge in Queens NYC give a speech about clearing Cablevision is a memory I'll never forget.
Wanna know just how damned good this man is? When he answered Eisen's question about his HOF speech, he was wickedly sly about promoting the WM main event right out of the gate and flawlessly made it feel like a very honest response. Heyman is an absolute master of his craft.
I had the pleasure of meeting Paul when he was traveling the South advertising for ECW's weekly tv show. Even though i was just security that had been assigned to him he still treated me with the utmost respect. He is a humble, down to earth, funny person (sorry if this breaks your kayfabe lol) it was truly a time i will never forget. Truly enjoyed or conversation.
TJ left out "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton from the Dangerous Alliance. If they ever decide to create a Paul Heyman Funko Pop, they definitely need a version of him with that iconic cellphone. Great interview, I wish it had been longer. Can't wait for the HOF.
Hey Paul Heyman ,You've showed real dedication throughout the years ,when you get inducted it's really about you no one else, it's a moment in time to give you recognition and acknowledgement of the hard work and sacrifices you've made to make WWE better throughout the years ,love your heart man
Paul E Dangerously is Top Tier everything as far as Wrestling is concerned! People still chanting ECW 30 years later..most of em who never saw 1 match/show. Crazy that he's still going so strong...but somehow not surprising.!
Paul is invested heavily in this Bloodline story like a true professional. I just hope he can take a step back and smell the roses for the night of his HOF induction, well deserved.
same. very touching to see tj get emotional. you can tell he was nervous cause thats someone he respects and probably idolizes so much and we only get very few, if any, chances to do that in our lives
Even when Rich inserted The Rock into the interview, Paul still made it clear that this is Roman’s time. That’s excellent work right there. He’s one of the greatest managers of all time.
Appreciate that. I think I might have fan boy'd out a little TOO much, but Hey...it's not everyday you get to chop it up with The Wise Man! Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to hear his speech. Love hearing his stories. He's done so much in his career. Everything from helping the future Taker get a meeting with McMahon even though he was working for WCW at the time, running ECW with no money, and eventually managing three of the biggest stars in modern wrestling history. Saying he deserves it is an understatement.
Rock's not an attraction because of his global Hollywood reputation, he's the single biggest attraction to WWE right now because of the enormity of his success between 1997 to 2002 as a full time WWF superstar. He's basically doing a Stone Cold - stuck two fingers up at the PG era and is bringing some Attitude back.
@@waynetables6414 Fully aware it's all a work, i'm sure even Heyman is dying inside having to spew that much BS, but his point on the Rock doesn't really have anything to do with Roman, a better work angle would be the greatest superstar of the Attitude Era elevating Roman to levels we've never seen before (or maybe that would be too laughable for him to say it out loud).
@@BluesFanUK_ it does have to do with Roman because what Herman is saying is that Roman made WWE so massive that an A list movie star like the Rock had to come and be part of it. He’s setting up their feud. It’s supposed to be ridiculous he’s just being a heel.
I have been watching wrestling since ‘79. A total work in progress here, folks. Paul is the best talker/BS-er since Bobby Heenan. A lot of swerving/evading done brilliantly here by the current master. I was laughing a lot during this because so many doors are left open…he’s a very good actor. Looking forward to the shifting tides forthcoming. Good segment well played.
Damn I wish he was in-studio, amazing interview and well deserved. Heyman had a mind for the business and wanted to change so much about it. A trendsetter and beyond! ECW! ECW! ECW!
Good interview. It’s always fun when pro wrestling crosses over into the mainstream. Heyman is one of the greatest talkers of all time. Love listening to him cut promos 😂
Paul Heyman and Eddie Kingston are two guys you can never quite tell when they’re working you or actually shooting. They slip so easily and smoothly into promo mode, that you’re just sitting there, nodding along, and then go, “Hey, wait; he’s selling a match. When did we pivot?” Dudes are just geniuses on the mic.
I remember watching Paul in NWA in the 1980s when he was a manager with a mullet holding a cordless phone (used it to whack wrestlers) and now he's bald with a cellular phone to call the tribal chief.
Feel so Happy for TJ. You should clip the TJ segment and make its on video for it. TJ’s awesome. Rich you might want to bankroll a TJ wrestling show on Roku too. He knows his stuff.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but he has a case of being the greatest manager of all time. Never thought anyone would surpass The Brain Bobby. But Pauly is the 🐐 in my book.
He gets bonus points for being a booker, owner, and advocate backstage for so many greats. He defended Undertaker when WCW didn't think he was worth it, he fought for Steve Austin before anyone else did. And of course he's the reason CM Punk became champion in WWE
Can you imagine? He's being inducted into the Hall of Fame and he's worried about what the crowd might think. That's the soul of a performer, on display, right there. I can't think of a more deserving individual for the Hall of Fame at the moment and I hope he has many happy years in the business and beyond.
I know even Paul says Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is the greatest manager/talker type role in pro-wrestling. But I do think Paul has earned it to the point that's he practically tied now.
Paul Heyman speaking about anything is pure gold! He shoots off the hip so effortlessly and has the whole room laughing our asses off while in awe at the same time.
That’s why Paul never misses when he goes out there. Very few have ever read the room as well as Paul can and he made a career out of always killing it with speeches. He’s the best.
One more have enjoyed hearing about your start as photography, finding your place to fit in, and your journey. Loved what you added to wrestling/sports entertainment. Ladies and gentlemen, gentleman and ladies comes from listening to you. Its kinda a local thing here in Louisville that went worldw 2:56 ide. Keep going. And congrats on your induction into the hall of fame.
There are G.O.A.TS in every faucet of life but then there is Paul Heyman. He is one of one, there will be no one else like him. Celebrate the moment because whenever does write the final chapter there will be no other that can match him.
Paul ...still a class act out of school..i agree about learning as you earn i started to dj in 1986 ... i have guys now who went to school for audio / video that can't do what i do .. keep that same energy Mr. Heyman 😊
Imagine seeing Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman) getting a bit role on Law and Order : SVU with Fin (Ice T), Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) or Organized Crime (if this TV show get's renewed) = with Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). With the latter, it would be a full circle.
Another thing…. I never thought there would be another talent to come along that would surpass Bobby Heenan as the single greatest entertainer in Wrestling….. but it’s Paul. There’s nothing he doesn’t do well. I would only say that Bobby was a tremendous worker as well, that would be his only edge on Paul (And his comedic timing) but all around, the longevity, being literally a hall of fame worthy performer/leader in WCW/ECW/WWE…. Writing, managing, performing…. The epic speeches that made grown men willing to die for him, the promo’s where he instantly got people over , those who got over simply by aligning with him….. he’s never botched anything in the mic, I’d put his mic work up against anyone ever in the business…. I just can’t put this guy over enough. He’s money, always has been…. Always will be.
roman reigns as the tribal chief is one of the key moments proving vince macmahon had lost it. he insisting on roman being cena 2.0 and it wasnt working.
I love that Dusty Rhodes played a key role in Paul Heyman's ascent to wrestling stardom since both are so deserving to be on the Mount Rushmore of Promo-Cutting.
Paul Heyman has had such an outsized impact on wrestling. I don't believe the WWE would have stayed at the top of the mountain without him. His work in ECW influenced the WWE greatly. Without it I don't think we get the Attitude era with TLC matches. Then he was a lot of the creative behind the Smackdown 6 era, still beloved to this day, he ushered Lesnar onto the center stage, and now is a creative force behind the Bloodline and a whole industry revival. I don't know if you can point to another individual who has had a bigger positive impact on wrestling.
He should have already been in the Wrestling Hall of Fame....... Paul Heyman is one of the greatest talents that's not a wrestler in the business. Bobby The Brain was great, Heyman is in the same room.
I was thinking the same thing. He should have been in sooner. But, maybe they were waiting to get the ceremony to Philadelphia, the home of ECW, to do it.
He said it himself recently that he kept turning it down because his work wasn’t finished. He’s only accepting now because its Philadelphia and he can’t really turn that down.
I agree with you. The Dangerous Alliance is the most unrated wrestling faction ever. Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Medusa, Larry Zbyszko.
Roman definitely needed Paul to get over. He was shoved down our throats for years and the fans were not buying it. He was booed when he won the Rumble, even with The Rock raising his arm as a co-sign. He was booed when he beat the Undertaker at Mania. And he was supposed to be a babyface, lol. Just because he's been booked to never lose doesn't make him the greatest.
Cristy, I LOVE your reactions. They are so authentic and well edited. And I love how little you know about the films doing into them. Found you through your Star Wars reaction, watched your Back To The Future ones and now starting with you on your MCU journey! Also followed you on Insta. Keep up the great work!

Everything Paul touches turns to gold. Could not be more deserving of the Hall of Fame ❤
I think he is tremendously talented and great wrestling mind but um ….. yeah… let’s no gloss over how he ran ECW.
I was about to say. *ahem* ECW
Curtis Axel?
lol! After wwe said Paul was going in hof i suddenly remembered he mngd Curtis Axel. Then remembered that weird angle when he mngd Ryback. Didn't Paul mng cm punk too?
@@tayubhussain46I remember when triple h suddenly came out and pedigreed Axel on raw and left the ring! I was like wth?

But triple h you didn't get back at Mr P because he was dead. Hhh held long grudge vs Mr Perfect lol. He also was envious of Paul Roma, a midcarder! Why?

Paul Heyman could've been a legit inductee as far back as 2004 if WWE wanted it, and no one would've complained. 20 years later, he's far surpassed that. The GOAT of managers.
He could have been 10 years before that for his early work.
Paul Heyman has the greatest mind in professional wrestling. I grew up watching him.
Thank you Paul for all the great memories.
man... i used to hate paul because he such a great heel manager
but now i adore this man
what a LEGEND
and he deserve every accolades that comes to him
Glad the WWE is giving him his flowers now while he's still around. Well deserved .
He kept turning it down
Most inductees are still alive. It’s just most get inducted after retirement. Heyman kinda bucked the trend with that one.
It’s only because Vince was fired and doesn’t call the shots anymore. If Vince was still in charge there’s no way he would let Heyman go on a talk show or be in the hall of fame
He kept turning the induction down. They wanted him the hall of fame years ago
He and Roman did First Take when Vince was in charge @@BreakingImageFilms
"Ladies and gentlemen....my name is PAUL HEYMAN"

Can we acknowledge Paul Heyman as an all-time great?
Everyone already knew that 🤔
We acknowledge him already as the goat
Oh yeah
He is a big shot in wrestling and highly acclaimed. So everyone gives him credit for that. He is one of the most influential people in the business.
@@batmaneatspizzaidk about GOAT, people throw that word around too loosely nowadays.
Heyman is the textbook “BS until you make it” candidate
& the 1st to admit it

Shoot, I did?? My bad. Much respect to Earl Robert Eaton! Appreciate you watching!
I like that they let him fanboy out with Paul. Hella dope!
Thanks!
Heyman is where he is because of his tenacity. Good for him. Great story that all can learn from.

His Vince Sr/picture story sound like how Peter Parker got his job at the paper.
Paul E Dangerously is Top Tier everything as far as Wrestling is concerned!
People still chanting ECW 30 years later..most of em who never saw 1 match/show.
Crazy that he's still going so strong...but somehow not surprising.!
It's amazing that guys like this who you see growing up playing background parts are so phenomenally accomplished in and of themselves
I wouldn't doubt Heyman somehow encouraged that photographer to throw bottles 😂
Paul is invested heavily in this Bloodline story like a true professional. I just hope he can take a step back and smell the roses for the night of his HOF induction, well deserved.
Love how he got into the wrestling business.
As a wrestling fan it was so awesome to see TJ light up speaking with Paulie! Thanks for the vid guys I was dying laughing!

He's basically doing a Stone Cold - stuck two fingers up at the PG era and is bringing some Attitude back.

The pop for Paul Heyman in philly when he's inducted will be insane
Watching him for decades he is one of the best guys ever. He is a talent that wrestling needed for a long time. And he can cut a promo.

Heyman is always working us. And to him, it always is a shoot, because he believes it all. It's true even when he is lying.
Paul's appearance on the Rick Rubin podcast is one of the greatest you'll ever hear.
I remember watching Paul in NWA in the 1980s when he was a manager with a mullet holding a cordless phone (used it to whack wrestlers) and now he's bald with a cellular phone to call the tribal chief.
Paul blessed us with prime Missy Hyatt!
If the gimmick works just upgrade with the times 😅😅
Ah yes, who can forget the brick cellphone that he carried everywhere
The Wiseman speech is going be epic

Protect this man at all costs. He is a gem

Imagine seeing Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman) getting a bit role on Law and Order : SVU with Fin (Ice T), Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) or Organized Crime (if this TV show get's renewed) = with Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). With the latter, it would be a full circle.

Love that Paul isn’t writing a speech. He’s gonna call it in the ring like a true GOAT. 🐐

I would love to see Paul Heyman in studio with rich. Watching this live made my week. 😊
I've wanted those 2 to connect for years now. I knew they'd have a great chat. Thanks for watching!
roman reigns as the tribal chief is one of the key moments proving vince macmahon had lost it. he insisting on roman being cena 2.0 and it wasnt working.
King Haku/Meng for WWE HOF '24!
So excited for him to get inducted in philly. Where it all started with ecw
Legend.
PH is one of the best things to ever grace the WWE. Such a powerful guy who for me is largely underrated. Congrats on the induction to the HOF
Simple.. I see Paul I click
Epitome of turning passion into work.
Quality stuff here from Heyman, as usual. The man sure can speak.
The lag from his video but perfect audio quality is hilarious
I love that Dusty Rhodes played a key role in Paul Heyman's ascent to wrestling stardom since both are so deserving to be on the Mount Rushmore of Promo-Cutting.
Paul is simply the best. What a HOF speech also
Even here Paul is putting Roman over. What a legend

I was thinking the same thing. He should have been in sooner. But, maybe they were waiting to get the ceremony to Philadelphia, the home of ECW, to do it.
I heard he turned it down a couple of times because it wasn't the right time
He said it himself recently that he kept turning it down because his work wasn’t finished. He’s only accepting now because its Philadelphia and he can’t really turn that down.
They typically induct folk after they retire, so I wouldn’t have expected him to cross so soon.
I had no idea about that Vince senior story or the dusty Rhodes story incredible
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I could listen him talk about anything and it would be exciting.
Paul Heyman took fake it till you make it and turned it into an art. A true legend in the wrestling business and a true visionary.
I agree with you. The Dangerous Alliance is the most unrated wrestling faction ever. Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Medusa, Larry Zbyszko.
You can see Paul getting emotional while hearing a fan really appreciate him and bring up new Jack especially
We want to hear it all Paul.
Why did 9:58 til “whenever” sound like a shoot on Rich but doing it in a work way
I meant @10:30
Such a good story teller
PAUL HEYMAN SO GREAT ON THE RICH EISEN SHOW !!!
Paul Heyman is a G 🏆
Roman definitely needed Paul to get over. He was shoved down our throats for years and the fans were not buying it. He was booed when he won the Rumble, even with The Rock raising his arm as a co-sign. He was booed when he beat the Undertaker at Mania. And he was supposed to be a babyface, lol. Just because he's been booked to never lose doesn't make him the greatest.
Agreed. Similar to when they call Cena the GOAT.. He was just booked that way 🤦♂️
