Indeed! I feel the same way! The WORLD is coming to Philly! Love it!
Ecw was PHILLY
Paul Heyman is a genius. Well deserved place in the hall of fame. So excited to be there in person this weekend.
Well done John. Congratulations Paul.
Paul Heyman in my mind is on the Pilliar of Professional Wrestling. The idea of Sandman vs Raven storyline came from him I did not know...that was one of the best storylines ever in Professional Wrestling, and trust me as a Young Adult when I was, I broke down when The Sandman broke down....it was monumental during my life at that time. God Bless and Protect Paul Heyman and his intrests.
It's still real to me, DAMNIT!

Having mania in philly is really once in a lifetime we may never have one again cause northeast 😢
Im legit excited that they put him in the hall and in philly. I spent a lot of time at Viking Hall in the late 90s for ECW and its still something i talk about on a regular basis 25 years later. I just wish i wasnt poor so i could be there to see it in person.
ECW!!! ECW!!! ECW!!! ECW!!!
Wise man ☝🏿
I am really bummed I am going to miss being at WrestleMania in person. Just bad timing with a family trip I'm leaving for with my wife this weekend. This was a great interview with Paul Heyman.
Paul could be a great motivational speaker. Great interview
paul heyman gets our city and fanbase i love it 🙏🏻
John Clark has my favorite interview ever. Philly loves you both from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!

This has got to be the interview of the year
Paul is great. Love the dude and what he’s done for professional wrestling. He’s an impressive human being.
Love Heymans take on the NFL… wise man 💯 true HOF
The wise man ☝🏾
had no idea Paul had that impact on you as a teen John , awesome stuff !!!!!
The Line "We work in the Toy Department" That is a Joe Benigo from WFAN-NY Radio Line! Great Interview!
Wow what a hall of famer Paul hayman he really deserve it good 👍 job Paul and good 👍 luck on the rest if your life what ever you do after that ok Paul congrats Paul and your family too OK 🙌 🙏 👍 👌
Hof Paul E always understood our city. THANK YOU PAUL E..... THANK YOU PAUL E
John doing a great job here as usual
Great video as always, Mr. Clark..love your guest selection
ECW! ECW! ECW!
What a ride it's been for Paul and his career in wrestling. From being a 13-14 year old kid just wanting to take pictures to hopefully to get them in a wrestling magazine using a camera he got for his bar mitzvah to actually going down as one the great minds in wrestling history and as a performer being one the best talkers of all time. It will be great to see him finally get his flowers tonight at the hall of fame
Paul misses brock i can see it in his eyes 😢
Great interview John!
I hope its beautiful weather the entire week that wrestlmania is in Philly. its been awesome hosting but it would be even better with greater weather
What about Tod Gordon? He started ECW. Man deserves some credit

Agreed, Tod Gordon did start ECW and deserves credit. But Paul Heyman took it to the 'Extreme'.

It was Eastern Championship Wrestling when Gordon started it, Paul made it Extreme and had Shane Douglas trash the NWA belt after he won it

Tod started & owned ECW until fall of 96. Heyman was Tod’s booker. Eventually Tod couldn’t afford to run ECW anymore and sold it to Heyman. That’s what happened. I just feel like Tod never gets the credit he deserves. Heyman should have corrected John but of course he won’t because he’s sticking to his and WWE’s narrative.

@@bbxsandman there was a falling out between the 2, they probably will never mention him, and now that I say this he’ll probably give him props lol
Go birds and let’s go Mania40
Can’t wait too be at Mania this weekend 🔔👊
This is tremendous! Thanks John for this! Never thought, my wildest, imagining that you in particular would be interviewing Paul Heyman! 🤜🤛
Great Interview
Makes sense a 🐐 like Paul helped a 🐐 like John
great interview
Man I miss that old bingo hall
ECW FOEVER
His HOF speech was the greatest speech of all time. Without a doubt, the greatest manager of all time! Fucking POINTS, for calling the NFL, FAKE!
Heyman nailed it while not mentioning Vince by name, Saying for so long the performerw were being forced into the vision of one, where they cant excel, rather then nurture the talent presented with to shine in their own skin. Thats where his talent always has lied going back to ecw. Hide the weaknesses, Exploit the positives.Stars are born
Jump around is in wisconsin
The audio sounds weird
Cena not named top 3 on the mic is kinda crazy
Audio is horrible.
Nothing about CM PUNK😩
Maniacal obsession to be the best
ECW! ECW! ECW!
