Many are good, some are great, but there's only one
Roman! For this brash athlete, achieving success is a matter of choice and the wrestling world knows that he's a serious

ego, but opponents are quick to discover his self-exaggerations are the truth. You have been forewarned by Roman that,
"Breaking bones is my business, and business is good!"
