WWE legend would have been a better choice to induct Paul Heyman instead of Roman Reigns, feels veteran (Exclusive)
Bill Apter thinks Paul Heyman deserves his upcoming WWE Hall of Fame induction. However, he believes an ECW veteran would have been a better choice than Roman Reigns to induct Heyman.
It was recently revealed that Roman Reigns would induct The Wiseman into the Hall of Fame Class of 2024. While the decision certainly makes sense considering the success of The Bloodline storyline, Bill Apter thinks Tommy Dreamer should have had the honor of inducting his former boss due to the ceremony's location.
For those unaware, the SmackDown personality founded the now-defunct Philadelphia-based pro wrestling company, ECW. Heyman worked with several legends, including Tommy Dreamer as part of the promotion until 2001. Dreamer was integral to Extreme Championship Wrestling's success in the mid-90s.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Bill Apter explained that although The Tribal Chief was a good choice for inducting Heyman, Tommy Dreamer would have been better.
"Roman Reigns is an okay choice. I want, this is Philadelphia. This is ECW's home turf. In my opinion, it should have been Tommy Dreamer." [25:55 onwards]
