Mark Henry Comments on WWE Fans and Roman Reigns

“Royal Rumble” winner Roman Reigns has earned the right to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, much to the disapproval of many fans. While Reigns is taking it in stride at this point, it appears more WWE Superstars are coming to his support.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry spoke with Busted Open on SiriusXM, and gave his thoughts on the volatile reaction from fans towards Reigns:

“If Roman attacks Brock the way he attacked Daniel Bryan at FastLane, then he can do big things. People always run off at the mouth on what people should do. I believe people should sit back and enjoy and if they don’t like what they’re seeing, tune them out. Fans have to realize that as big of an impact that they have on the industry, they’re not calling the shots. They should just sit back and enjoy the show. When fans go to football games, they’re not the ones calling the plays. There’s a different mentality with the fan base nowadays where the fans are reacting before storylines even have a chance to play out. People are commenting before stuff even happens. There used to be a time where the anticipation grew so much and that anticipation superseded everything else. However, that anticipation has lessened in today’s day and age because of all the information and media surrounding the company. Roman Reigns can definitely be the next top guy in WWE but he has to have a thicker skin and not worry so much about what the critics are saying.”

Reigns is largely favored to defeat Lesnar at WrestleMania March 29. He recently teased Seth Rollins could cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase after the match.

Editor’s Note

As long as the support isn’t forced, which I don’t believe it is, it’s good. I like what Henry has to say, and more should be giving Reigns the rub.
