On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff talked about Roman Reigns potentially starring in the live-action Street Fighter movie, viewing it as an almost inevitable step for the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. You can check out some highlights below:

On Reigns going to Hollywood: “It’s just a matter of time, you know. It was, I should say, just a matter of time. Roman — you know, I don’t know how good of an answer he is; we’re about to find out. Like any other goal or aspiration, he’ll get better as he goes. But the one thing we do know for sure is he’s got an amazing presence.”

On Reigns’ presence: “He’s one of those people that when he walks into the room, no matter how busy you are or what the conversation happened to be that you were engaged in, you kind of stop and look over and ask yourself if you don’t already know, ‘Who the hell is that guy?’ He’s got an amazing presence, and if he could pick up the acting along the way and get some great coaching, who knows man? Because he’s got an amazing look. He looks like a Hollywood movie star.”
