Roman Reigns has become stale, but does Vince even want a way out?

At the top, I should state that I’m all for anybody making their bag with putting their body at less and less risk. If Roman Reigns wants to continue to make his millions by wrestling only 20 times a year, you get that, my friend. If he wants to do it by removing all risk […]

However you feel about pro wrestling, Bianca Belair’s Royal Rumble win matters on many levels
