Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT. During the interview, he opened up on a variety of topics.
One of the most interesting parts was when he was asked about WWE potentially implementing an off-season. This is something that a lot of fans have been suggesting for a while now.
Here is what Reigns said about WWE possibly implementing an offseason:
“We do it the way we do it, and I’m never opposed to trying something new.
This formula has worked and Sports Entertainment is a ‘what have you done for me lately’ industry.
Unfortunately, we don’t have an off-season like most sports or other kinds of forms of entertainment or competition but, you know, I think if we could make it work, it would give a great benefit to our performers and our fans as well.
It would definitely give our performers another couple of months if not a full quarter to rest and recover, not only just from a physical standpoint, but creatively.
When you go year-round, we’re always trying to evolve, trying to grow as far as our stories and our character goes and when you’re doing it over and over and over it can be tough.
I think that’s what makes WWE and its superstars so tough and it’s an accomplishment to get to where we are.
Only we can handle this and we’ve proved it, so it’s just a part of the gig.
I don’t think it’s something that shouldn’t be looked into, but if the schedule stays the same I’m gonna be the guy that’ll run it.”
How would you feel about an offseason in WWE? Or, how about WWE rotated some of their stars, giving talent time off at different times? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
