Disliking the product a person presents doesn't mean disliking the person behind it. Nobody sane or ethical would wish cancer on anyone, but that doesn't make you a bad person for not being entertained by him.

WWE pushed him as the next Cena but I never heard of him ever pulling backstage shenanigans and burying others like Cena did. He was also quality in the ring and had a good look. I don't watch wrestling much aside from highlights but he seemed quality to me regardless of how much Vince loved him

Hope he pulls through and comes back stronger than ever

That's pretty awful. I didn't really have an opinion on the character, but after watching him on the Sam Roberts Show I loved him as a person. Funny, down to Earth guy who absolutely lives for his children. I hope he beats this.

Just came to post this. Since I don't watch that garbage product's weekly shows, I just kind of read the results as they come in and I just heard the news. Shit sucks. I hope he can make a full recovery

He needs to use cannabis

I booed the piss out of Roman Reigns, but no one should be booing Joe Anoa'i right now. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I stopped watching WWE before this guy joined it, but I did know about his negative reputation. No one deserves cancer however, so I'm really sad for him.

He doesn't really have a negative reputation, people would love him if they didn't pushed him like he should have been pushed, a not a sympathetic babyface, but that's besides the point

Jesus -

In 2006, it was clear where wide receiver Calvin Johnson's was heading. The freakishly athletic Georgia Tech junior was dominating the college ranks, catching 76 passes for 1,202 yards and 15 touchdowns. He would ultimately end up being the No. 2 overall selection in the NFL draft and continuing that dominance as a member of the Detroit Lions.

On the other side of the ball, defensive tackle Joseph Anoa'i was the leader of the Yellow Jackets defense. The three-year starter earned first-team All-ACC honors as a senior. In that final campaign, he recorded 40 tackles (nine for a loss) and 4.5 sacks.

He had the character, the motor and even the production, but Anoa'i lacked Johnson's chart-busting measurables. The lineman would go undrafted.

As a free agent, Anoa'i got a shot with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars, but a serious illness forced him to take some time off. After spending a season in the CFL, it was clear the NFL dream wasn't going to happen.

Good thing he had a fallback option.

The Anoa'i family is royalty in the world of professional wrestling. His grandfather, father, uncle and multiple cousins have all been stars. One cousin -- Dwayne Johnson, who played college football at Miami -- went on to become one of the biggest names in the history of the industry as The Rock.

In 2010, more than three years after his college football career ended, Anoa'i inked a deal with WWE's developmental division.

You know him now as Roman Reigns.

The 30-year-old Anoa`i is currently one of the brightest stars in the wrestling world. His ascension has been meteoric. In a little more than two years on the main roster, he main-evented at Wrestlemania, the Super Bowl of wrestling.

Reigns attempted to get Johnson to come out to California to attend the event, but the schedules didn't work out. The Lions receiver is disappointed he couldn't make it, not only because he couldn't be there to support his former teammate, but childhood favorite Sting was wrestling his first, and possibly only match, for the WWE at the age of 56.

"I told him next time he's in town, either here or Atlanta (Johnson's offseason home), to let me know," Johnson said. "I'm looking forward to seeing him work with some ringside passes."

Of course, celebrities can rarely get away with sitting ringside and enjoying an event in peace. There's a long history of athletes who make cameo appearances inside the squared circle, from William "The Refrigerator" Perry to Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman to Pacman Jones.

Would Johnson consider jumping the guard rail?

"If I got him on my side, I'll do it," Johnson said with a laugh.

The Lions might want to add an addendum to Johnson's contract. Monday Night Raw will be in Atlanta next month.

Cancer freaking sucks.

This needs to be bumped

Horrible news. There is a huge chance that Roman will be gone within the next 5 years. He will never be back in the WWE
---

Don't know the guy but I did look him up.
Cancer is terrible. Been with two close family members as they struggled with it and died.

Yeah this will sound negative. But anytime I see someone who's younger than me like this guy is. Who clearly stays in shape. Has the money to assumedly eat right, exercise. Do everything right. And still get cancer.
It's very disheartening. It's like, what the hell chance do any of us have. That shit comes out of nowhere at any age.

Noooo

I want to fucking kill cancer with my own hands dammit
---

ok. everyone who has ever said or even joked that wrestling was fake needs to apologize right the fuck now!

I don't watch WWE and I'm saddened by the news. Fuck cancer
