Roman Reigns Says Fans Can Boo Him If It Makes Them "Cooler," Says "No One Has Ever Been Like Me"

WWE superstar Roman Reigns appeared on Chris Jericho's Talk is Jericho podcast the week before Wrestlemania, and a transcript of his interview has been making the rounds on wrestling dirt sheets. During the podcast, Reigns talks about the boos he regularly receives from crowds,

"It's loud. But the thing is it's cool because they compete," Reigns said. "They compete. The people who like me, they're going to cheer. And the guys who don't… Did I say, 'the guys'? The guys my age who don't, they want to be louder, so, like, it becomes a thing. And that's what it's all about."

"As long as they're coming, as long as they're making noise, have fun, man," Reigns continued. "Boo the s–t out of me. Like, if it's making you cooler with this dude and that dude next to you and y'all are having a great night, please, say all you want to me. I'm a grown man. You're not going to hurt my feelings."

As to the possibility of turning heel, a wrestling term for "bad guy," Reigns doesn't see the need. "Like no one has ever been like me. This is an uncharted territory. It can be anything I want it to be, so why put myself on one side of it? Why not just dabble? Why not have the full range, do whatever I want, be 'The Guy'? Do you know what I mean? That's how I feel. I'm the one writing this at this point right now. We're in a position [where] we can do anything we want as long as they make noise."

On the last episode of Monday Night RAW, Reigns was brutally assaulted by opponent Braun Strowman during a backstage interview segment, then assaulted again and thrown off a loading dock after being loaded onto a stretcher, and then assaulted again after being placed in an ambulance, with the ambulance being tipped over. The crowd roared in approval.

Whatever this is, we guess it's working.
