WWE Hall of Famer Compares Roman Reigns to The Rock
Follow Us
Since Roman Reigns came back, donned a new attire and won the Universal Championship title, he has improved by leaps and bounds. In quantifiable terms, his new attitude has gained favorable crowd reactions, something he has struggled with throughout his career. His ebtire presentation has transformed, and Mick Foley agrees.
The WWE Hall of Famer and Hardcore legend recently took to Twitter and spoke about Reigns’ mic skills. Previously, Roman Reigns used to be criticized for his robotic delivery and lack of enthusiasm. However, Foley believes “The Tribal Chief” has improved exponentially.
I think you’d have to go back to @RealKurtAngle or @TheRock to find someone who improved as much, as quickly on the microphone as @WWERomanReigns
What type of role do you think @HeymanHustle has played in Roman’s exponential growth?#RAW

Foley compared Reigns to Olympic Gold medalist Kurt Angle and Reigns’ cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Both of those wrestlers started as an oddball in the company. However, they had a full character makeover, and a heel turn to become the legends they are today.
Mick Foley thinks Roman is headed down the same path. He also believes Reigns’ “advocate” Paul Heyman had a major role in his character evolution. Heyman is known to have “a guy,” and whoever is the “Paul Heyman guy” gains immense popularity and push from WWE.
Heyman only works with heels. Hence, WWE was probably waiting for this opportunity to bring Heyman and Reigns together after Brock Lesnar left.

Back in the day and still today, Mick Foley is a pro-wrestling god. Foley is from a rare breed of wrestlers(like Bray Wyatt and The Undertaker) who wrestled under three distinctive characters in the same company as Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack.
However, it was his immaculate skill on the microphone that really endeared him to the fans. Needless to say, getting a compliment from him would mean the world to Reigns.
