5 things learned from former WWE Superstar Paul Roma's Sportskeeda interview

#4 Paul Roma on why Hercules didn't get pushed in WWE

Paul Roma is perhaps best known for his time in WWE as part of the Power and Glory tag team, managed by Slick.

Roma partnered with Hercules Hernandez and feuded against the likes of The Hart Foundation, The Rockers and The Legion of Doom.

His tag team partner Hercules boasted an incredible physique, which WWE prioritized in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Paul Roma addressed why Hercules Hernandez was never pushed to a higher level in the company:

"Without a doubt [Hercules could have been a top babyface] because of the size and he could compete with anybody but you gotta remember something too. When you're in that business that we're in and you have people calling the shots, that's fine. I get all that. But also when you have other wrestlers that are Prima Donnas then there lies the problem," said Paul Roma.

Despite Roma being best known for teaming up with Hercules in WWE, Power and Glory never captured the WWE Tag Team Championships during their tenure in Vince McMahon's promotion.

#3 Former WWE Superstar Paul Roma on working with The Four Horsemen in WCW

Outside of WWE, Paul Roma initially competed in WCW as a member of The Four Horseman, teaming with Arn Anderson.

When discussing his time as a member of The Four Horsemen, Roma admitted that initially it was rough as Ric Flair was consistently critiquing his performance:

"Working with the The Four Horsemen started out rough. Again, I was tagged with Arn for the most part, my partner. In the beginning it was little hard to understand what they expected of me. Every time i came out of the ring it was Ric [Flair] talking in my ear, 'The horsemen don't do that.' And I'm like, 'Oh ok,'" said Roma.

The former WCW World Tag Team Champion discussed his frustration with wanting to find out how The Four Horseman are supposed to perform in the ring:

"And I'm like, 'What do we do? Just tell me.' So I'm not supposed to clap to get my guy going, you want me to go to the turnbuckle and hit the turnbuckle instead. Ok, so we're talking semantics here, little things and i just started getting aggravated," Roma recalled.

Paul Roma only competed with the faction for a brief period of time in 1993 before forming a tag team with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff.
