Roman Reigns

I'm not a fan of Roman Reigns. I booed the living hell out of him even when he was good guy. I did the wave in person at two Wrestlemanias I attended and trying start bunch of random chants such as "We Want Cena!" and "This match sucks!" I pretty much loathe his main event existence because WWE gave me no reason cheer for him other than he's just the big dog and using hundreds of superman punches because its one of two moves he only got. All that change on Monday night of October 22. Something wasn't right when he came to the ring not dressed his gear. Then he addressed the crowd announcing after being 11 years in remission his leukemia came back. Wait did I just hear what he just said? He has leukemia? Is this real or some sick angle? He went up the ramp meeting with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins giving him hugs. The look on Seth's face told the story as he was balling with tears. Dean being tough holding back his tears as best as he can. After the break I can hear tears in Corey Graves voice. The news is true as leukemia return back in Roman Reigns body. I was floored and so was every wrestling fan in the universe. The stunning announcement sent waves as news sites such as CBS Sports, Fox News, ESPN, and Yahoo Sports made mention within first hour of RAW. Whether we like or do not like a wrestler we do not wish anything horrible happen from medical to travel. Every wrestler like him risk their lives to entertain us the fans. They have families to feed and look after. It's not a glamorous life but they enjoy it and do it for us, the fans. The year been rocked with shocking wrestling moments with 90% of it been bad. Reigns leukemia announcement shocked the wrestling world because he's the top guy in WWE. The fact he kept on working during his remission showed he got his heart in the business.

It's best to say cancers of any form suck. It's a life threatening disease people fight hard to beat. Some will win the battle against cancer but some will lose. I have lost a friend to cancer. Another friend, Texas woman wrestler, Ruthless Lala battled it as well. There been medical advances but no cure. We hope there be cure for cancer in the future. Watching friends go through it is hard enough and not to mention skyrocketing medical bills to battle it.

Best of luck to Roman Reigns. He beaten leukemia before. He will beat it again in round 2. The fans will wait for his return.

Another note if you want donate to American Cancer Society for cancer research. Also donate bone marrow to see if you are match for leukemia patients.

  1. That really stinks. I lost my father to it when he was only 54 years old.
