6 best real-life stories of Roman Reigns

#2 The tattoo from a coat hanger

Roman's football coach told an interesting story about him from his youth

Before Roman Reigns decided to try his hand at wrestling, he was considered to be a football player with a huge amount of potential. Reigns played football at Pensacola Catholic High School under a coach called Greg Seibert, who shared an interesting story about the former linebacker.

Seibert stated that Reigns returned to training in his sophomore year with a letter 'L' branded on his arm. When asked how he got what was considered to be his first tattoo, Reigns revealed that he had done it himself with a heated coat hanger and the 'L' stood for his birth name which is Leati.

Seibert realised at this point that Reigns had something of a crazy streak if he was willing to burn himself. He recalled that the former World Champion was someone who instilled fear in others, which helped him throughout his career as a footballer.
