WWE star “Big” Bronson Reed spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including who helped him create his Mr. Nice Guy persona.
Reed said, “It was basically, it was based on myself, to a degree, but I was working with Paul Heyman, and he came up with the ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ tagline, and basically, it’s just, in my life, I’m the good guy. I always say that. I’m a dad now, I’m a loving husband, I do everything I can to be a nice guy, but when it comes to being in the ring, I have to be a killer. So that’s sort of what that character is based on. It’s almost based on a hitman for hire. You see these hitmen in their everyday lives. They’re normal guys with families and stuff. They just happen to go kill people at night [laughs]. So that’s ‘Mr. Nice Guy.’”
