4. Bret Hart Says Roman Reigns Is Like Kevin Nash
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart gave his thoughts on former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. Bret went on to say Reigns is just like WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash and that he needs to be himself. Below is what he said:
“Reigns is just like Kevin Nash. If you look back at Reigns, his character was getting over really good on his own. Then they rushed him into a babyface turn and crammed him down everybody’s thoughts, and people rejected him. It wasn’t his fault. It was kind of like with Kevin Nash. He was slowly getting over, and I wrestled him at [the 1994] King of the Ring and we had a really good match.
All of a sudden, by August, they were ready to make him the new champion. And I’m going, ‘He’s not ready yet. Give him a little time and let him get even more over.’ Why is there a rush? Reigns got dealt a bad set of cards. It has nothing to do with his work rate–he’s a really good worker and his style is really good. He just needs to be himself.”
