Wrestling icon rejects himself as potential inductor for Paul Heyman; names three stars including CM Punk

Tommy Dreamer has shared his viewpoint on the ideal individual to induct Paul Heyman into the WWE Hall of Fame.

With Wrestlemania 40 set to take place in Philadelphia, it was only fitting that Paul Heyman be inducted into the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame this year in the city that served as the home of ECW.

Despite the widespread belief that ECW icon Tommy Dreamer should be the one to induct Heyman, the veteran himself disagrees. In a recent appearance on the Busted Open Radio podcast, he acknowledged being the original Paul Heyman guy but expressed his belief that he wasn't the right choice for the task.

Instead, Dreamer suggested three alternatives: Stone Cold Steve Austin, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns.

"If I’m the original Paul Heyman guy, sure (I’m the right person to induct him into WWE’s Hall of Fame). Am I the right pick? No. If I had to pick between — I have people in-house; Steve Austin, CM Punk. I’m picking either one of those two guys. It’s a television show and I understand the industry… Or, I’m sorry, Roman Reigns, hi… Could I do it? Sure. Should I do it? No," Tommy Dreamer said. [H/T POST Wrestling]
