Heyman is the first out of the few names that will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as the 2024 batch. We can see that his relations with the promotion have come a long way since he was fired from the company in 2006.

After acquiring the rights to ECW in 2003, Vince McMahon worked closely with Heyman to keep the same touch with his newly formed brand. However, due to creative differences, this idea couldn’t work just as well as ECW was operating alone. As a result, due to some ideas that Heyman put forward, McMahon didn’t like, consequently firing The Wise Man from the company.

In 2012, he returned to the promotion again, and the rest is history. Now, we are seeing the manager get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Last year, Heyman also talked about where he got this talent from.

Paul Heyman credits his father

The Wiseman’s father, Richard S. Heyman was an advocate by profession. Having played an ‘advocate’ in kayfabe, everybody wondered how Heyman was so naturally good with public speaking. In an interview, he shed light on the same and gave the due credit to his father for his increased confidence with this skill.

Since Richard spent his life performing in front of juries, Heyman had to work a little on the natural skills and learn how to speak in front of thousands of people in a stadium. Still, he believes it wouldn’t have been possible without his father.
