A Quote by Paul Heyman

I'm not someone who concerns himself with whether people pay to cheer Roman Reigns or whether people pay to boo Roman Reigns. People pay to see Roman Reigns. They pay to react to Roman Reigns.
I don't think Roman Reigns should for one moment of his life be worrying about earning the respect of the WWE audience. Because what he has is their willingness to pay to see Roman Reigns whether they respect him or not.
So if you ask those people who say they're standing up to boo Roman Reigns because, 'We don't like him,' 'Okay, would you pay to see Roman Reigns get beat?' 'Oh, absolutely! I'd love to see him get beat.' He's doing his job because people pay to see him.
People are willing to pay for the right to cheer or boo Roman Reigns. That is your job as a box office attraction. Your job and the manner in which you feed your family is not dependent upon whether the audience respects you or disrespects you. It's dependent on the audience's willingness to pay to see you.
To say Roman Reigns isn't connecting with an audience means you're not listening. I've watched a lot of Roman Reigns, and every single time I see him, I hear noise. He connects very well with our audience.
I've been part of so many pay-per-views, and I've been in the ring with John Cena and Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton and Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns... all the top names. And I've been Intercontinental champion twice.
John Cena and Roman Reigns get insane reactions where half the crowd loves them and half the crowd despises them. When you're in the ring waiting for your opponent, whether it's John or Roman, you get hit by this crazy noise.
Whether you love him or whether you hate him, Roman Reigns has earned his spot, and I'm hot at all these little crybabies out there going, 'We just stand up and boo him because we really don't like him.' Oh, really?
Without the fans, there is no Roman Reigns.
I really want to face Roman Reigns again.
Roman Reigns never asked me for my help, that's not who he is.
I can't speak of anything but greatness for Roman Reigns. He's one of the all-time greats.
Really, Tanahashi belongs in the WWE. He can be the next Roman Reigns.
I'd love to teach Roman Reigns how to work. Just kidding.
I've known the members of Roman Reigns' family since I was 15 years old.
I feel that I am better than Roman Reigns, but you know what? He hasn't wrestled as long as I have.
To me, Roman Reigns was WWE's version of Superman, and he was our locker room leader on 'Raw.'
