WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently took to his podcast, The Ross Report, to offer his thoughts on several professional wrestling topics. Ross offered his take on fans booing Roman Reigns on a constant basis.
He believes fans boo Reigns, not because of their true feelings for the former WWE Champion, but because it’s the ‘cool thing to do.’ Ross compared it to Kurt Angle’s “You suck” chant and John Cena’s “John Cena sucks” chant:
“I just think it’s almost like when Angle comes out, it’s, ‘you suck!’, ‘Cena sucks’… I think people think it’s the thing to do and they’re not hip or cool if they don’t do it as evidenced by the crowd looking to do a hostile takeover in Pittsburgh [Pennsylvania] [at Extreme Rules]. I wasn’t too crazy about it.” Ross continued.
“I just think it’s a topical thing and people think it’s cool. That’s the best answer I’ve got for you. I don’t know why it would be. And nobody can tell us why exactly it is. We’ve all got a theory and that’s all it is. Let it play out.
“And I had a little experience in talent relations. I would have no issues hiring Roman Reigns today even if I knew what adventure it would be in head of us. He’s that big a talent.”
