5 current WWE stars and their childhood wrestling idols 

#4. Roman Reigns and Bret Hart

Roman Reigns comes from a family of professional wrestlers, but whilst the former WWE Champion was a late bloomer in the wrestling business, he has been a WWE fan for most of his life and was able to idolize one particular star.

With his own father in the wrestling business whilst he was growing up, it comes as a shock that Roman Reigns actually idolized Bret Hart. The Big Dog spoke to Yahoo Sports back in 2015 and was able to reveal his love of The Hitman.

“Every time he’d come out with that leather jacket and give his sunglasses away to a kid in the crowd, I used to dream about being that kid. That hair, all that gear. To this day I still think he has kickass gear. He seemed like a standup guy. A really nice dude. He is a very cool dude.”

It appears that Roman Reigns is one of the stars who supported Bret Hart over Shawn Michaels during their feud in WWE throughout the '90s.
