Are you serious?

I'm new to this community, is this something some people here might celebrate?
---

it was a hell of a speech from him. i've always been more of a roman fan than most online fans but... fuck. shouts roman.
---

Is he done?

Or temporary, or what?

Utterly terrible news. Wow. I had no idea he had battled it before, either.

There may be people here who ho to extremes with certain people
---

Also, this probably blows the doors off of whatever plans Vince had. I can't imagine where RAW goes from here.

One person in particular, yes.

As far as what they do with the title, I'm assuming it would be Brock/Braun now assuming Crowned Jewel still happens. They could also move Drew to the front of the line. Unfortunately Owens is out for a while. I could see them giving the belt to heel Lashley as well, but I'm hoping for Braun.
---

The irony is that if Roman recovers he'd actually get a face reaction.

If I was a bit more paranoid I'd even suspect that it was faked if that happened.

Good luck, Roman.

Return of the Balor megapush?

Return of Seth yelling "DEMON KING"?

The guy currently posting under the LetsGoPokemon### names commonly gets suspended/banned for wishing death on athletes/wrestlers/etc. that he doesn't like, and celebrates things like this, yes.

So he'll end up axed in a few hours since he can't control himself
---

Can confirm, cancer sucks.

I hated the character and the guy seems like a bit of an ass too, but damn this is not how I wanted this to go.

holy shit you're joking right
---

They are not joking.
---

thats pretty fucked.

i was just talking about it in the discord but i had a much more minor cancer and it still fucks me up now years later and i have an easy 9-5 desk job

he's a tough dude
---

Not joking at all.

You basically need to ignore or disregard anything he says. He's also has a ridiculous vendetta against Alexa Bliss, and will do whatever/make up whatever he can to make her look bad. For his sake I hope he does go out to get dinner, because I'll be ready to mark any bullshit post he makes, and hopefully the mods will take swift banning action should he start his usual crap.
---

This is so devastating
---

By the way, this increases the odds of Kenny Omega getting signed by WWE. Too many people are damaged goods on that roster. You need to start a new top guy from scratch at this point.
---

Like, this is taking Iron Man out of the MCU. And it feels so, so sudden.
---

Well yeah because basically feel whatever you want about Roman but he was fairly reliable.
---

Absolutely. He seems like a real trooper.

If leukemia returns after such a long remission, is it possible to really beat it back again? I've not really run into a situation like that in my life.
---

This is gonna sound like a really wild idea, and it'll never happen, but if I'm WWE, I immediately bring up Matt Riddle and push him to the moon.
---

Horrible news to hear. Regardless of how you felt about Roman, no one deserves to come down with any disease of that nature. Hoping he's able to get it treated and get better, even if he chooses to retire.

No need, we have DX and the Brothers of Destruction

I'm not really sure there. The closest I have to that is my uncle, he had brain tumors about 25 years ago, and after about 23 years they just came back and there was nothing they could do. I'm guessing/hoping Leukemia is different than brain tumors though, and he can beat it again.
---

undertaker is still wrestling. roman isn't. jesus. it's still setting in.
---

Roman kicked out of like 53 F5s if anyone can be booked to kick out of two runs with leukemia it's him.

Idk if I should be mad or laugh
---

I never had any problem with Roman except his overpush. I think he's a good worker who's decent enough on the mic when his lines aren't fed to him.

This is the worst I've felt about something wrestling related since Benoit's murder-suicide. Like a gut-wrenching feeling.
---

Im just going to get this out of the way

I CANT be the only person cynical enough to even just have the THOUGHT that this is part of Vinces attempt to get sympathy for Roman, can I?

Admit it.

Nope.
---

I thought it for a split second, but then quickly dismissed it when it showed Rollins
---

I never thought it wasn't legit, but there was a thought of, "finally Vince got his guy over".

Which is admittedly an awful thought to have in that moment.
---

Kenny Omega by all accounts loves living in Japan and cites how badly WWE treated him as a reason why. I don't think that one's in the cards
---

I like how everyone is wishing him well except Samoa Joe who wishes him well but then says "I'll be waiting."

Joe never breaks Kayfabe.
---

I don't actually think they sign Kenny, admittedly. I just think this is going to lead to another massive spending blitz as they try to figure out what the hell to do.

When you lose your perceived cornerstone, you start making rash and extreme decisions.
---

Btw this proves that cancer is the ultimate heel.

My gut reaction was "I'm probably being worked right now" and the outpouring of support on Twitter gushing over him as a locker room leader isnt helping with that.
---

Goddamn.

I dislike Roman and all but I've been a big believer that he's been largely hung out to dry by his writing and booking.

No one deserves this. Not even Kevin Durant.
---

I won't lie, that was my first thought and I'm disappointed in myself for it, even though it was only for a second before I realized that even Vince wouldn't be that low.

I considered it for a split second but being found to have faked cancer to get a guy sympathy could be company destroying. Nor do I think Roman would go along with it.

If they were working people they certainly wouldn't let the locker room in on it because word would leak out immediately since most people would be super pissed.
---

Wow. This is legitimately shocking. I guess the rumor that Roman might be out due to injury was half right.

But Jesus, I would never want him to go away like this. This is horrible and I hope he can beat it. No matter how much I don't like the guy as a character, this is just something noone should ever go through.

...And yes, I was paranoid this was a thing to get him over too, I admit it. But that speaks to the lengths WWE has gone for him.

This may be the only time I'll root for him, but I really am hoping he beats this thing.

I immediately thought that and then I was like that's too bad even for them, they surely wouldn't go that low
