ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer returned Busted Open this week and gave his thoughts on Monday’s RAW and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns.
Despite the mixed reactions Reigns has received thus far, Dreamer is convinced Reigns should be “the guy” and deserves the chance to carry WWE into the next era.
“I’m a huge Roman Reigns supporter and I’ll tell you why,” Dreamer explained. “I watched – I was there live in Florida on a house show – him and Sheamus, and I cannot praise Sheamus enough for being a great heel. Everyone’s talking about, ‘Oh, Roman Reigns and the Wyatts pairing together’, but you got to have great heels to actually work with that. Sheamus, Del Rio, and Rusev – who I’m big fans of, the bad guys. And, you think about it, the people are going to be on their feet for all of those matches. For the haters, to see AJ Styles win, and again, we work for the reactions and we work for people talking about it the next day… I watched [Reigns] and Sheamus work about 25 minutes on a Sunday show and they had a WrestleMania match and the people were so into it.”
It was that live experienced that convinced Dreamer that Reigns is ‘pure money.’ Especially when guys like Seth Rollins and Randy Orton get back in action, the fresh heel challengers will allow fans to get behind the champ even more.
Dreamer then pitched an out-of-the-box idea of how to fully get Reigns over – and how it relates to boxing legend Mike Tyson.
“I wish he went out there and talked like Mike Tyson, who couldn’t really cut a strong promo because of the way he actually spoke. You’d be like, ‘Oh, I could kick that man’s butt. Listen to how he talks’, but yet Mike Tyson was the baddest man on the planet. If they kind of went that way with Roman Reigns – because when you think about it, we loved to hate Mike Tyson and then we just loved Mike Tyson. It’s an interesting time for the Roman Reigns lovers and haters. I’m a Roman Reigns lover.”
