Hating on former smark darling Roman Reigns for his unique combination of butchering live promos and being Superman Punched down our throats is the new hotness. No matter how much we hate, though, plans are for Roman to “look really strong” going forward and kinda sorta be the new John Cena.
In an interview with he WNS podcast, The Juggernaut (aka The Big Dog, aka The Epitome Of Power, aka The Powerhouse Of The Shield) spoke candidly about wanting to be the “first Roman Reigns” instead of the “new” anybody. He did so while wearing a neon green t-shirt and throwing his hat to a bunch of troops.
“When I first started wrestling, I got a lot of comparisons to a lot of different people. Razor Ramon, The Rock. I had a bunch of different qualities and characteristics of former guys. I’m not trying to be the next anybody. I’m trying to be the very first Roman Reigns that’s all I can do. I’m not out to be somebody that I’m not. I know who I am and I know where I come from and I know where I want to go. It’s very flattering to be compared to someone who’s worked so hard and been so successful. I don’t want what he has, I want what I’m going to get.”
He also spoke about his 2015, which has already been written in meticulous detail and bound in a small book of gold leaf pages bound in human flesh.
“I think so. I think everyone’s thinking that. I think everybody goes into these type of matches thinking they’re going to be the guy. It can happen. Whether it’s 30, 40, 100 people in this match. Everybody should be going in with that mindset. I’m the guy. I can change my whole career. I can change my whole life if I just dominate tonight and that’s what I’m going to do. Fortunately for me I have some experience with this match. I have a record of eliminations and I’m taking last year making it all the way to the end and coming up short as a mistake I can learn from. As a good experience. Hopefully, I can capitalize on it this year and correct that wrong and go onto the big one.”

Good luck with 2015, Roman.
