The reason Paul Heyman is inducting Goldberg into the WWE Hall of Fame in because Heyman developed a personal relationship with Goldberg during his feud with Brock Lesnar heading into WrestleMania 33 last year, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Heyman was reportedly largely responsible for producing Goldberg's material and helped put together all of the Goldberg vs. Lesnar matches.

Goldberg will headline this year's Hall of Fame, also featuring Mark Henry, Ivory, the Dudley Boyz, Jeff Jarrett, Hillbilly Jim, Kid Rock and Warrior Award recipient Jarius “JJ” Robertson.
