Pretty shocking development in the fake/real world of WWE, not only that top star Roman Reigns dropped his persona during the opening promo of RAW to announce he had leukemia, but also the revelation that he first battled leukemia *eleven years ago* and this wasn’t public knowledge and/or exploited by the WWE who have exploited pretty much everything they could to make a buck over the years.
More discussion of this sad news on r/squaredcircle and (perhaps surprisingly?) MetaFilter which has this amazing in retrospect anecdote…
I’ve mentioned my daughter on here a few times because she had cancer and got to meet Bayley.
Well, in June, Bayley invited us to the MSG house show and took us backstage to meet a few of the superstars. We met Ronda and Matt Hardy and Seth and a few others. But before we left, Roman walked into the catering area that we were in. Sam mainly likes Bayley and doesn’t recognize lots of the wrestlers but she knew him.
So he came over and Bayley introduced Sam, he told her how proud he was that she had beaten cancer, and in a moment I didn’t think of until yesterday, mentioned how he had to fight something like her before he started wrestling.
