Seth Rollins Talks Whether WWE Wrestlers Resent The Rock, What The Shield Accomplished, His Fiance
Most wrestling fans have strong opinions on The Rock coming back to WWE whenever it's convenient for him and his schedule. During an in-studio interview with Mix 106.1 in Philadelphia, Seth Rollins offered his thoughts on the situation as it relates to him personally and some of the other WWE Superstars.
"Uhhhh...I mean there's a little bit of resentment there there's gotta be, but it's mostly envy because we all want to have the level of success that he has. We want to have the ability to walk into a room and um, ya know be as well received as he was," Rollins told Brian Soscia. "Although, he did take the cheap route I think by um just talking about all the boroughs and wearing his little Brooklyn jacket. But that's The Rock, that's how he does his thing."
From there, the chat shifts to football. We find out who his favorite NFL team is. Soscia then remembers a story that he heard about Seth's dreams to play in the NFL and wonders if it's true or not. The conversation comes back to wrestling as Rollins speaks on which wrestler influenced him the most as he was growing up. They also touch on who he enjoyed watching the most as a fan and why?
They then talk about how the style of wrestling has changed and continues to change.
"The style is getting faster and faster. The athletes are getting better and better. The future is pretty bright for WWE," said Rollins.
They also go onto talk about Seth's rarely mentioned fiancé and how important a support system is in a professional wrestler's line of work. He also reveals the extremely important part that she plays in his career.
Rollins is then asked how The Shield measures up to other factions or trios in wrestling history, such as the Four Horsemen, The Freebirds and D-Generation X.
"The Shield was only around for..what? Two years? And we did a lot in two years. I think the fact that people even take those two years and put them up against the reputations of those other groups really says a lot about what we were able to accomplish in that short period of time," said Rollins. "It's definitely something, two years I'm very proud of and I'm happy to say we certainly left a scar on WWE," said Rollins.
From there, they talk about the Shield's unique entrances and the problems that they may have encountered when the fans who try to get involved with it.
