CHRISTA TOMLINSON: HOT WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: Roman Reigns

As I write my romance series set in the world of professional wrestling, I will be creating all original characters. But, I still like to look at the real ones for inspiration. I know that some of you know of who these guys are. But some of you are, as my friend Denise puts it, wrestling virgins. So each week, I'll do a hot wrestler of the week profile. That way, everyone can get to know some of these wrestling gods. This week, the 2015 WWE Royal Rumble winner: Roman Reigns.

STATS
From: Florida
Age: 29
Promotion: WWE
Height: 6'3
Weight: 265

Roman is, as the announcers like to say, a power house. As a member of The Shield, the greatest faction ever, (Oops! My bias is showing) he was the muscle that put an emphatic end cap on the beatings his brothers, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, dished out to opponents. He often puts guys down with a Spear, aka a running tackle. This move makes sense for him, since he played football in college.

Roman is also a member of the esteemed Anoa'i family, a powerful Samoan wrestling dynasty. Its members include The Wild Samoans, Yokuzuna, The Usos, Rikishi, and more. In fact, wrestling and Hollywood superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is Roman's cousin by marriage.

It's an exciting time for Roman Reigns, as he's chosen to be the next big thing for WWE. He'll have a bit of a struggle, since some of the fans aren't behind him. But that adversity is what builds a wrestler's character and makes their rise interesting to watch.

Roman is definitely gifted athletically.

But he's also very pretty! Thanks to his long, luscious locks, he's been given the nickname Samoan Silky. I think you can see why.

Unfortunately he's currently wrestling all covered up. But this is what he looks like when he stops being bashful and shows a little skin.

Well, I think my work this week is done. But before I go, put a bomb shield over your ovaries to keep them from exploding, because I've got a few more pics for ya.
