Paul Heyman Comments on His WWE Hall of Fame Induction Speech Plans

A recent episode of The Rich Eisen Show featured Paul Heyman as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Heyman’s thoughts about his current plans for his speech for his upcoming induction into WWE’s Hall of Fame.

“No, I’m gonna figure this out as we go along (Heyman responded when asked if his WWE H.O.F. speech is written out). I’m gonna take the pulse of the room that night. I’m gonna wing this because I don’t know really what the crowd itself is expecting from me. Is this a crowd that wants me to talk about the modern-day WWE and Roman Reigns and The Bloodline and the WrestleMania main event of Roman Reigns versus Cody Rhodes? Is this a crowd that’s, you know, in Philadelphia, wants to talk about ECW? Is this a crowd that’s looking for some inspiration and a speech about pursuing one’s own dreams? Etcetera, etcetera. I really won’t know until I take the temperature of the room that night and as you (Rich Eisen) know better than I, you always have to know your audience. So once I feel the crowd, I’ll pretty much know what I have to do to deliver for them.”
