WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns' Special Counsel Paul Heyman recently spoke with Variety, for an in-depth interview covering all things professional wrestling.
During his chat with the site, Heyman explained why Reigns deserves an Emmy Award for his work as "The Tribal Chief" and "Head of the Table."
Check out the highlights below.
On Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief
“I will honestly state that I’ll put Roman Reigns and his portrayal of the Tribal Chief up against anybody right now in how he has approached a reality-based character of the top star of the industry and the fact that he’s not recognized by the people that are there to reward such performances with an award, to me, is disconcerting.”
On the reason why Reigns deserves an award:
“We’re trying to present a body of work that exceeds all boundaries and limitations that have been imposed upon this industry, either self-imposed or imposed by the predetermined notion of what this business is by the outside world, as evidenced by the fact that we’re sitting here today talking about the unfathomable concept of the Emmy Awards, because a year ago we would have been laughed out of the conversation, but this is what we strive for.”
