Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Chuck Carroll of CBS Local Sports. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics from racial equality in wrestling to a potential rematch with Brock Lesnar.
Reigns was asked if he thinks it’s harder for minorities to climb the ladder of success in wrestling. Reigns’ response included a piece of advice that was given to him by Vince McMahon.
This advice has to do with being a good person. Here is what he said:
“I think I’m a great example of that. I’m a multi-racial man. I don’t think it has anything to do with your color or your background. It’s the man that you are and what you stand for, and obviously the performer that you are. That’s one thing that Vince [McMahon] deeply wants to be embedded in his guys, in his superstars, that they’re good people. That’s one thing he’s always told me from the beginning is, “I don’t care if you’re the greatest wrestler in the world. I don’t care if you’re the most charismatic talker in the world, but I do care if you’re a good person and I think that’s all that matters.” When it comes down to it, it doesn’t matter what you look like, how big you are, what color your skin is or hair or eyes, if you’re a good person, you’re a good person”
