#no shade tho to most of c*dy nation

[acknowledge-reigns]

Somebody truly had the nerve to say Roman has never had to deal with or wrestle with injuries/set backs in his career and that he "could never power through like C*dy did with his torn pec". First of all, comparing how these two athletes deal with injuries is big fucking weird but since we're going there and I take my role of #1 Joe Anoa'i defender to heart what I'm not about to do is let y'all set up here on this internet and make it seem as if my Tribal Chief ain't ever fought through shit because this man is a WARRIOR, do you hear me???

(HE'S A TWO TIME LEUKEMIA SURVIVOR SINCE Y'ALL MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE TO FORGET HE KICKED CANCER'S ASS TOO.) Generally speaking, not just that situation but in many others in Joe's life, some of your faves would have folded. (especially those two yt men that run from company to company when they don't get their way) . Really this ain't shade to C*dy, I give him his props for powering through injuries and shit too. Most of these superstars have. And saying some of them would probably fold (hell, I would. Most of us would.) Isn't saying they're weak. I'm saying Roman is a badass on a different level and you can argue with your momma or with the wall on that one, not me.

This list does not include FCW injuries, football injuries or his 2007 leukemia diagnosis durring which he was unhoused with a child on the way. And these are just the instances we know of!

Say what you will about Roman in kayfabe but do not minimize the struggles Joe has been through or his resilience. And if you're a Roman "fan" buying into the the rhetoric that he hasn't faced any adversity then as my dear friend @love-islike-abomb says, Please "Go whistle in the woods". IYKYK.

Oh and while we all here...

Acknowledge him, Bitches ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾.

HEADCANONS

001. he’s taken over as CEO of his father’s entertainment company. however, he runs the place the same way his father did: from the background. he has people, whom both he and his father trust, handling the majority of things, but wonjae does need to sign off on all major decisions. he also has a say in who the company signs and keeps an eye on the financials.

002. he’s never been in a proper relationship or had a crush on anyone until settling down in seoul. growing up, he was much too focused on school and being the perfect son ( not because he HAD to be, but because he wanted to be )

003. tho he is very much a cinnamon roll, he doesn’t have an issue telling you off. disrespect is a sure fire way to get on his bad side, especially if he witnesses you being disrespectful to someone else. while on the subject of disrespect, i highly suggest you treat your parents VERY well when in his company, otherwise you will get an ear full.

004. he wants to cover up his back tattoo because it’s no longer true for him, however it’s a matching tattoo he got with his father and he just doesn’t have the heart to alter it in any way.

004.5. the tattoo on his wrist is the one he got in dedication to his mother --- some of his favorite memories with her include the times they traveled to korea simply to come look at the cherry blossoms.

005. he’s always been the type who was completely unfazed by death and gore --- he’s actually been kinda ... fascinated by it, so the WAY ( the intruders’ modus operandi ) his parents were killed never bothered wonjae, it was more so the WHY along with the fact that they were his PARENTS. but that is why dead bodies/murders/etc. have not become a trigger for him because he doesn’t see what happened to them, he only sees a story and something to learn for his novels.

006. 100% believes that the stars are our ancestors --- basically, when someone passes away, a new star is formed. and you cannot convince him otherwise.

007. not only does he write short stories and poems on the daily, he also keeps a diary where he writes letters to his parents every night. he lets them know how he’s doing, things he’s learned, he talks about his friends and troubles he’s encountered. he also likes to talk to them when he can’t sleep, so if you ever pass by and put your ear against his door at night, chances are you’ll hear him having a conversation with, technically, himself.

008. it takes a lot to make him cry and it’s something he won’t ever do in front of anyone unless he is extremely close with them. normally, he saves tears -- and all negative emotions -- for when he’s alone and behind closed doors.
