Paul Heyman Says He Turned Down WWE Hall Of Fame Offer Several Times Before Accepting In 2024

Paul Heyman comments on upcoming WWE Hall of Fame induction. 

On Monday, March 4, WWE revealed that Paul Heyman will be the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2024. 

Speaking to Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post, Heyman revealed that he has turned down the honor “several times” before accepting a 2024 induction. 

WrestleMania 40 will take place in Philadelphia, the home of ECW. 

Heyman said the show taking place in Philly, along with this being the first Hall of Fame with Triple H at the helm, influenced his decision to accept the induction. 

“It’s taken me all these decades to figure this business out and the art of presentation to an audience, so while I hate to use the old cliche of, ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet, and I’m just getting started,’ … You ain’t seen nothing yet, and I’m just getting started,” he said. “I don’t want a lifetime achievement award when I’m not done achieving things. I still have a lot of other work I want to do in this industry. I want to be involved in the first main event of WrestleMania in Havana, or on the moon, or on Mars when Elon Musk colonizes it. These are things that are going to happen in the future and I desperately want to be a part of it.”

Heyman remains active on WWE television as the Wiseman in the Bloodline.
