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:

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.
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
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.
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.
You're a face you idiot. At least act like one. Remember those merchandise sales you need to get in order to overthrow Cena? Yeah, not going to happen at this rate.
this guy NEEDS to be a heel and the authorities poster boy.
the rumble would actually have been perfectly booked if reigns had speared the rock when he came out and big show/kane/hhh raised his arms to close the show with the boos reigning down (no pun intended)

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 just find it hysterical how a company and the fans can both be "opinionated about the way they want things" in completely opposite directions and this is a way to stay in business. Only in the wwe.

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.
