Tommy Dreamer, a legendary figure in the world of professional wrestling, recently shared his thoughts on who he believes should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. In an interview on Busted Open Radio, Dreamer argued for the inclusion of two ECW icons – Paul Heyman and Sabu.
Dreamer praised Heyman as the “greatest manager of all time” and highlighted his significant contributions to the industry. He emphasized Heyman’s role as the co-founder of Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and his creative genius in shaping the promotion. Dreamer also mentioned Heyman’s willingness to listen to others and his exceptional mind for wrestling. Despite the upcoming WrestleMania 40 being held in Philadelphia, the former home of ECW, Dreamer believed that Heyman’s induction should not be solely based on the event’s location. He stated, “Philadelphia is the easy tie-in, but if WrestleMania is in Montreal, Paul Heyman should still be eventually in the Hall of Fame.”
As for Sabu, Dreamer recognized his significant impact on the industry. He commended Sabu for revolutionizing the use of tables in matches and his willingness to put his body on the line for the sake of entertainment. Dreamer believed that Sabu’s contributions to professional wrestling were often overlooked and that he deserved more credit for changing the industry.
The WWE Hall of Fame is a prestigious honor bestowed upon individuals who have made significant contributions to the world of professional wrestling. It serves as a celebration of their achievements and recognizes their impact on the industry. Inductees are chosen based on their in-ring performances, character work, and overall influence on the wrestling landscape.
With Dreamer’s endorsement, the case for Heyman and Sabu’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame gains further momentum. Both individuals played pivotal roles in the success of ECW and left an indelible mark on the wrestling industry. Heyman’s managerial skills and creative vision propelled ECW to new heights, while Sabu’s innovative in-ring style and willingness to take risks captivated audiences.
While the final decision rests with WWE, the support from influential figures like Dreamer can certainly influence the selection process. As fans eagerly await the announcement of the next Hall of Fame class, the inclusion of Heyman and Sabu would undoubtedly be a fitting tribute to their contributions.
