I have a 6 foot tall cardboard cut out of him in my office.
I have two different action figures of him in my office.
I have 3 shirts of his from WWE… 4 after tonight’s purchase.
I had a special “Roman Reigns KFDI” name badge made for him before he came to town back in September 2017.
I get goofed on for watching WWE. “You know it’s fake”; “You know it’s scripted”. I know. I’m not dumb.
It’s the fact that for a handful of hours each week I get lost in the WWE shows. I forget about my life and the things that bog me down. I’ve done my job for the past 23 yrs because I like to make people smile, make people forget about what bogs the, down daily. That’s why I watch WWE and smile when I do.
I got emotional tonight as I did back in October 2018 when my favorite wrestler, Roman Reigns, came on screen and announced that his leukemia had come back after being in remission for 11 yrs. CANCER SUCKS. Roman said he was gonna take time away from his career to fight cancer. Tonight, Roman came back for an update about his battle and announced that his cancer is in remission. And I’m man enough to say I sat here and cried tears of joy.
And to all that mock me for watching WWE, to anyone that mocks me for having cried tonight, to anyone who laughs at me for wearing my WWE shirts, posting pics of my Roman Reigns toys in my office or my goofy pic of Roman and me at Intrust Bank Arena back in September 2017, laugh all you want. I know what I like. I’m proud of what I enjoy. And if that bothers you, tough.
