Reigns: "They (WWE) are gonna do what they want, hopefully at the end of the day I'm the one getting rich"

Full quote - "Fans have to realize that as opinionated as they are and the way you want it, the company is the same way and they are gonna do what they wanna do...hopefully, at the end of the day, I'm the one getting rich."

Sam Roberts (podcast) interviewed him 2 days before the Rumble. (It's not letting me post a link since I Have under 10 posts)

Reigns is a bitch. Became my least favorite after today. Can't wait to see him eaten up at Wrestlemania.

Sam Roberts interviewed Roman 2 days before the Rumble and the biggest thing that jumped out from that interview for me was when the future face of this company said this:

"Fans have to realize that as opinionated as they are and the way you want it, the company is the same way and they are gonna do what they wanna do...hopefully, at the end of the day, I'm the one getting rich."

I mean I hate Cena but I'd rather have another 15 years of Cena than this jackass. Thoughts?

Other notables:

Said CM Punk being a voice for the voiceless is a load of crap.

He invented the Superman Punch.

Healing process is 100% complete.

What a load of shit from Reigns. Me having done and studied Muay Thai I can most certainly tell everyone here (although everyone on here probably already knows) that he did not invent it. His lying ass needs to :gtfo

As for the him getting rich statement, personally I don't have a problem with it. It's not a bad mindset to have .

His CM Punk comment is actually also true. Once Punk resigned with the company, everything he said meant nothing as he's just turned into another employee.

All this stuff he is saying in interviews lately...they have to be turning him heel right?

But everything on the shows says the complete opposite?

:rockwut
That is because a tiny fraction of their fans actually search up on backstage gossip and interviews. Even I, on these forums, don't do that. I couldn't give two shits whether stone cold, HBK or reigns are a douche backstage.

All I care about is how bad ass and cool they are when they are on my tv.

Hence, I am a Roman Reigns fan.

When did wrestling become so full of fans who are so obsessed about what goes on behind the curtain? That world is nothing to do with you

Aww, did Roman hurt your feelings?

I listened to the full podcast earlier and the Austin podcast with Wade Keller, and concluded that Reigns doesn't even deserve the respect I built for him as a person.

Honestly, I wanted to like the guy, but if he feels with the company backing him that he doesn't even have to change a thing (meaning improve) when even Austin says he can't work or talk, I'm sorry but you get no sympathy from me.

Don't see anything wrong with what he said.. It's great to know about though, i didn't realize Sam Roberts had his own podcast.

Roman really has no fucks to give and is all about making money. I respect his honesty.
I have all kinds of respect for the honesty. Don't take my statement in the thread wrong I have no problem with what he said, just not something the "top babyface" of the company would/should be saying in public interviews.

It's ok for Brock, Mr 6 figure rookie deal, so why not for Reigns. Nothing wrong with being honest. :)

Well being in the WWE is his JOB, it's not a hobby for him. He has a family to feed so I would hope making money is on his mind, especially since wrestlers don't get benefits. I wouldn't think they get a pension either.

I think they get their regular pay, PPV money and merch. Since there's not a union, a lot of these dudes are fucked.

I read Bret Hart's book and a lot of these guys used to get only $150-200 a week to survive on if injured. I'm sure the amount has gone up somewhat but they also have to pay for travel, health care and stuff like that.

There really should be a union for these wrestlers.

I didn't listen to the podcast, but will comment on the quote, seems like he is willing to do what they tell him as long as he is getting paid, I dont have a problem with that.

Isn't that similar to what Sandow was doing before with his weekly character changes, was Sandow in full control of that or just doing what he was told and collecting a paycheck.

You may as well have that attitude in WWE because it doesn't matter how hard you work. If you don't give Vinnie a rock hard boner then they will throw you under the bus.

Yet the divas are still (sadly) seen as a joke in the WWE.
