Jim Ross firmly believes that Paul Heyman deserves a coveted spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, and he ardently hopes that Heyman will receive the recognition he deserves during the forthcoming WrestleMania event in Philadelphia.

Heyman, a former mentee of Ross, has frequently acknowledged the latter's significant influence on his career trajectory, emphasizing that he learned invaluable lessons in performance and managerial skills while serving as a color commentator to Ross's play-by-play announcer in WCW. Despite the occasional friction that arose from Heyman's abrasiveness, Ross continues to hold a deep admiration and affection for his protege.



During the latest episode of the Grillin' JR podcast, Ross was posed with a question about the likelihood of Heyman's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2024. Ross expressed his conviction that Heyman's induction, wherever it might take place, would undoubtedly be a resounding success, given Heyman's exceptional talent for entertaining speeches. Nonetheless, Ross acknowledged the profound significance of a potential Heyman induction in Philadelphia, the birthplace of Heyman's revolutionary promotion, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).

"Any time is a good time for Paul Heyman to be inducted because he certainly earned those accolades. I have heard no talk about that. It's an interesting question, and it certainly could happen. Heyman is Hall of Fame-bound. There's no doubt about that. But I don't know what the game plan is there. They seem to keep that the Hall of Fame thing kind of under wraps, which I think is great," said JR, who went into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. "It's just hard to say who's gonna go where when you hear all these rumors, but Heyman deserves to go in anybody's Hall of Fame. Whether it be whether it happens in Philadelphia, it'd be fine with me. I just don't know. I don't know the answer to that, I wish I did, but he's deserving, and it wouldn't shock me if they did it in Philadelphia. So we'll see. I always wish good for Heyman, even though it can be a pain in the ass sometimes."
