3. “WWE Has Been Proven Right About Roman Reigns” – Ric Flair
During a recent appearance on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” Podcast, 2 time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair talked about the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, Reigns vs. Styles & more. Below are the highlights:
On the great thing about having Roman Reigns:
“You really don’t know what the crowd is going to do until you go out there through the curtain, right? You can have something all planned out and they’re not going to buy it. I mean, that’s the great thing about having Roman Reigns. I think they struggled with him at first, but with Roman, they’ve got the best of both worlds. They’ve got a guy that one day can wrestle Seth Rollins and be the hottest bad guy in the Professional Wrestling business, which that match will be huge when they have it or he can go out and wrestle Hunter and whatever, right? He’s good! Yes, he is versatile, which is a good thing, I think.”
On WWE being proven right in backing Roman Reigns:
“Look at the match him and AJ Styles had at WWE Payback. Holy cow! What a match. Start, restart, start, restart. And you know, AJ flies around. Jericho should know. He works Jericho’s style of work, but Roman hung right there with him for 30 minutes. Roman has got legs. It makes him a better performer.
You can’t boo him anymore. But he just had to work hard to win them over. But the company just proves everybody right. They did the right thing. Bret Hart, I just saw Bret the other day, but Bret was hammering the company for the way they treat Roman. Roman’s as happy as can be. Bret’s fine now too! As long as he can put the Sharpshooter on me, he’s happy.”
