Booker T is a man that knows the WWE very well and understands the business of pro wrestling. He recently gave his take on the news of Roman Reigns getting a reduced schedule in the huge pro wrestling promotion.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast recently, Booker T explained why Roman Reigns deserved to get time off from WWE. The pro wrestling business is a tough one and the wrestler has been working a lot.
“It’s hard to make people happy, so I don’t think you should think about what people want in certain aspects, especially as far as this goes. For one moment, people are talking about wrestler’s work too damn much. And now, he’s gone to take some time off, they say he’s just a part-timer. Which one is it? You can’t have both. For me, as a promoter, if I can protect Roman Reigns and preserve him because he is a guy that I feel is a high marquee guy for the company, why wouldn’t I do that? As far as that guys, I don’t really care what people think as far as him being a part-timer.”
Booker T also addressed the concerns that fans would then turn on Roman Reigns because of the news. He admits there's a chance but there are examples out there where it didn't happen.
“You know what, they probably would because there again, the fans, a lot of times, they want what they want. Then again, maybe they won’t. Maybe WWE fans are different. Cody Rhodes, they hated him going out of AEW, and now they seem to love Cody Rhodes. With fans, it may just be a few thinking that way, but sometimes, the masses look huge these days when you see people on social media commenting. If Roman takes some time off, damn it, he deserves it. He deserves it. Bottom line.”
