He gave a tough fight to the Tribal Chief, but in the end Reigns emerged victorious – in what could be the Hall of Famer’s final match.
There is no doubt that he has been one of the biggest Superstars. Clearly, he himself thinks so and has gone as far as comparing himself to Mike Tyson. While talking to Dr. Beau Hightower he mentioned, “I was the Mike Tyson of wrestling. My goal was to be something completely different. Black tights, black shoes, I didn’t fricking talk for six months. I just squished motherf***ckers.”
