It's a reason to hang out and bullshit with old friends while partying. I'd do the same thing, cause it's gotta feel odd when you retire and not on the road.
Brother, Thanks for posting this. He so deserved this. His comments about his children, and his words of never giving up and always coming back will stay with me forever. And what he said about Paul and his leadership, finally giving everyone a chance to succeed and not be held down, should be a lesson for anyone in leadership. There is a right way to do it and an honorable way to do it.
Dolph ziggler, Zack Ryder, Kofi Kingston, Dean ambrose. So many talent that were killing it at 1 point in their career and Vince held them down just because they aren't 6'4 powerhouses.
I don't think Wrestler and Manager Gary Hart never gets as much credit as he seserves. Shout Out to James E. Cornette, James J. Dillon, The Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, Bobby Th eBrain Heenan and Perciville J. Pringle, III aka Paul Bearer, Prescious Paul Ellering.
Love how he elevated every wrestler he has worked with the most, Brock, CM Punk and Roman. Paul is a damn legend and he totally deserved to be in the HoF.
I feel like there's two big reasons for the awkward reaction to that though: 1. If you know, you know. Don't know if it's true, we may never know if it's true, but the bigs at WWE are sure acting like it's true. 2. No one really ever wanted to see Taker's streak end. Brock didn't need it, Taker was never the same afterward, and to my understanding it's agreed generally today that it just should not have happened.
Thank you Paul for giving the industry a kick in the ass with ECW when it needed it. And thank you for everything that you’ve done in the WWE. And for helping bringing The Tribal Chief into the greatness that everyone thought he had. But couldn’t bring into out of him. You sir made Brock and Roman the names they are today. Thank you for devoting your life to this industry.
The real pro wrestling visionary of the 90's. This was long overdue. The WWE Attitude Era was the formula of ECW with a bigger platform and a bigger budget.
I wouldn't knock the work he did in various Professional Wrestling Promotions during The 1980's. If you're not familiar with his work in various places like Memphis Wrestling, The AWA, The NWA, look it up?
@@JuliusC1973 The problem for Paul was that he was loud, obnoxious and prone to creating issues through his outspoken nature afterall WCW fired him twice because they just did not see what a verbal gold mine they had in him. ECW gave him the platform to launch a career that showcased his abilities to promote a fed, it also showcased his more weasel like side with allegations of him working the boys a common complaint, there is also the nasty side effect of the fact that the single larger creditor of HGH Promotions was his father whom he owed around $5 million. With Paul the ledger is finely balanced and his on screen work is out standing, maybe his business side is not so great.

Man it's so good to see the career arc of Triple H. The way he started and the place he is now with the kind of love and respect that he deserves. So fulfilling to see! 13:11
Haven’t watched WWE in a long time, but had to watch this. Paul Heyman is Wrestling’s Anti-Hero. A man who was denied everything and still accomplished everything he set out to do. If you love him, you know he’s good. If you hate him, you know he’s damn good. Hats off to Heyman. Long live ECW
Heyman has said in the past that he had absolutely no intention of ever returning to WWE after how they handled the "new" ECW but Brock Lesnar insisted back in 2012 that the only way he'd return to WWE was if Heyman was part of the deal. Therefore none of this would have happened without Brock, so Heyman simply has to give respect.
Omitted one of the greatest, and the one who took ECW to the extreme, and is responsible for revolution and STILL imitated till this day, SABU. Brilliant moment, the speech was as good as I expected. Utmost respect to a man who is responsible for some of the greatest moments in my childhood memory. Thank you for posting. Anyone complaining and arguing about the sped up and slowed down bits, and not understanding why it was done, is an absolute child. E.C. FUCKIN W.
When that music hit, tears just fell! Crazy! Thank you Triple H for this! Paul Heyman is finally, and everything with him, like ECW and Brock are immortalized forever!
I love how Cody Rhodes held true to kayfabe even as they had him seated near the bloodline members he never clapped or took part in chants as much as he wanted to his dad taught him to honor kayfabe
I love how when Paul said Damn FUCKING right Triple H was the first to stand up why others were like '(oh shit is that okay reaction)' like nah he's fucking right, let him cook!
As a kid who loves wrestling, at the age of 15 on a Saturday night around 2am. I witnessed a wrestling show where i knew none of these wrestlers. But, to my surprise RVD was wrestling Jerry Lynn and it was different from WCW and WWE. Then, i saw TAZZ and Sabu and i was sold on this new show. Weekend after weekend, i watched this show faithfully and was introduced to the Dudleys, Eddie Guerrero, the Sandman, and many others. Thank you, Paul Heyman for giving us fans the Hardcore in wrestling that we see today. Thank you for ECW, and all the great wrestlers that came to you to work for you. And, most of all thank you for giving us (the fans) a promotion where a guy named Steve Austin showed up and gave us a future shock. Thanks again, Paul Heyman.
@@wadewilson6294 WWE fans don't even care about Vince's sex trafficking, they sure don't give a shit about Brock just talking about having sex with that poor woman.
They didn't even show Brock in his video package even though let's be real the thing Heyman is known for the most is Lesnar and I'm glad he mentioned him because they act like he did a Benoit type of thing or something.
@@ladanian560 Whether he was aggressive or not (which he kind of was since he called her a bitch according to the allegation) isn't really the point. The point comes down to whether or not he knowingly took part in the sexual trafficking of someone who was blackmailed as well as mentally and physically abused, and we're waiting to see if he's found guilty of that in a court of law. WWE distancing themselves from Brock is a precaution.
Thank you for uploading this! One thing I'll say about this is that I hate "What?" chants at HoF ceremonies. This isn't a full-on wrestling show, this is a celebration of careers. Have a little bit of respect for these people. Other than that, great seeing this :)
Say what you want about the internet exposing the industry, but AT ITS CORE, “kayfabe” is the pillar that holds all of professional wrestling together in my opinion. EVEN KNOWING the way the industry works, a well delivered sequence of kayfabe segments can hook people into wanting to watch.
@@daveh1065 re read the original comment dipshit lol there’s a difference between being seated next to each other & keeping space between them keeping the illusion of Kayfabe intact because there’s people there to “separate them”.

Loved watching this again, cried like a baby last night watching it on Peacock. I love this man as much as 1 can really love someone they've never met.

Damn... He managed to yank any wind out of the sails AEW ever once had, and managed to do it without saying a single word of insult about them. His complimentary description of HHH, did it so well, that mostly only the people that left WWE for AEW would immediately feel a lump on their throats.

Love him or hate him, he is likely, singlehandedly the man most responsible for promoting the biggest stars and superstars in the business and highlighting so much talent. Including reaching out to Steve Austin after WCW cut him. On top of that he's business savvy and also great at playing his roles as an entertainer.
one of the best speeches maybe cuz i grew up with ECW one of my friends who passed in 1999 gave me a tape full of ECW matches otherwise i would never have knew about it we got it real late in the uk on a tv station called bravo. it was all 96/97 ECW which blew my mind.
Some of you guys have no idea why he has to fix the audio and tweak it up a bit. This is an uncensored video so UA-cam would be hella involved, and sometimes it has to do with copyrights. Don’t complain and enjoy
If Paul Heyman is planting his flag as a Paul Levesque guy and saying that the talent are getting more creative freedom and better pushes, then I believe it. This man has worked with the absolute best and he’s seen every peak and valley the industry can bring, so if he’s got HHH’s back, then wrestling is so fucking back.
ECW, Getting cancelled, Brock Lesnar mention, Triple H saving WWE etc; This Hall of Fame speech felt like a real sit down talk with the WWE Universe since the Pipebomb.
That was one of the best speeches I've ever heard. He said he wasn't sure how to come out there and present him as himself, but that's because all he's seen are people that have had to come out and show a side of themselves different from the character they played in the industry. The answer was right in front of his face. Paul Heyman is such an amazing person in real life that he never needed an industry fabricated role, and just being himself was enough to make him one of the most successful people to ever enter the business. Now how many others have been able to say that? Bless you and thank you Paul Heyman..this speech really touched my heart.
I had to edit this because copyright claims… just enjoy it for what it’s worth

Some of you guys have no idea why he has to fix the audio and tweak it up a bit. This is an uncensored video so UA-cam would be hella involved, and sometimes it has to do with copyrights. Don’t complain and enjoy
Thanks for posting , I didn’t get a chance to se it but thanks to you I did!

If Paul Heyman is planting his flag as a Paul Levesque guy and saying that the talent are getting more creative freedom and better pushes, then I believe it. This man has worked with the absolute best and he’s seen every peak and valley the industry can bring, so if he’s got HHH’s back, then wrestling is so fucking back.
Thank you for sharing this video. Paul has the ball not only to say Brock Lesnar but twice.
Three times*.
ECW, Getting cancelled, Brock Lesnar mention, Triple H saving WWE etc;
This Hall of Fame speech felt like a real sit down talk with the WWE Universe since the Pipebomb.
Thanks for posting. Awesome speech.
Thanks for posting this, 🔥PROMO
That was one of the best speeches I've ever heard. He said he wasn't sure how to come out there and present him as himself, but that's because all he's seen are people that have had to come out and show a side of themselves different from the character they played in the industry. The answer was right in front of his face. Paul Heyman is such an amazing person in real life that he never needed an industry fabricated role, and just being himself was enough to make him one of the most successful people to ever enter the business. Now how many others have been able to say that? Bless you and thank you Paul Heyman..this speech really touched my heart.
Hope they release an uncensored version of this when it releases on dvd
Forget wrestling. This is one of the strongest, impactful acceptance speeches in any medium. Entertainment, sports, anything. Bravo
This was Awesome ❤❤❤
I have Paul Heyman a HELL YEAH!!!!!
Generations to come will look back at and look up to Paul Heyman as not only one the greatest promoters but also one of the most creative minds.
Dude deserves it.
He's put more into this business than most other people.
