Sometimes the best experiences are when I know nothing about this movie: I've never met the director, and I come and see something and I'm blank, because then it's coming at you in a way it would never come at you if you'd read the script, with an expectation.

People are willing to pay for the right to cheer or boo Roman Reigns. That is your job as a box office attraction.
