I see sooooo many negative Rollins threads. Before he won at Mania people were practically BEGGING.for him to be the champ and I was at mania the pop his music got when he came out during main event and when he won was INSANE.

Since then people have turned on him,but I will just chLk that up to being a great heel. :) hell he got banned at a random music festival lol.

Anyway. IMO Rollins is the best heel of at least the last decade. I watch wrestling with my dad. And my dad knows it's scripted but sometimes he gets so invested into it he basically acts like it's real. Like when I first started watching me and my dad would curse HHH for using the sledge hammer. We hated HHH. But that's was the point. Now with Rollins my dad is at the same level and actually hated Rollins more than he did HHH back then. My dad has said "that's bullshit I'm not gonna watch anymore if he gets to have his buddies help him"which of course he does watch again lol.

People complain about his mic skills. Yet I honk he's amazing on the mic. He pulls off that cocky entitled prick character PERFECT.
Some say he doesn't draw. Well ALL of pro wrestling is in a down time draw wise. And outside of mania nobody can draw now a days really. HBK didn't draw in his era. Even lesnar couldn't spike ratings.

Skills wise I don't see any area that is not great. He just had the best ladder match since Jericho Benoit in 2001 IMO.

ANYWAY. I'm tired of all the Rollins bashing threads.So I decided to make an appreciation thread for him. Haters are more than welcome to come in hwee to DEBATE but no straight up bashing.

ROLLINS MARKS UNITE!

I'm a big Rollins fan. He makes the best of bad situations(never ending Authority angle, poor booking), can be hilarious, and is one of the best performers they have.
I simply don't understand the hate. He's a slimy chicken-shit heel who delivers in the ring.

Yeah. He's great. Absolutely one of the best performers the WWE has now.

The ones spamming hate on here are basically just parodying the fickleness of the "IWC" at this point...

So I guess he wasn't a great heel when people were begging for him to be champion then?

Edge, JBL, CM Punk, Triple H, Batista, Brock Lesnar and even Randy Orton at some points in his career were better heels than Rollins has been thus far, even during his better days(pre-WM). He's not been very entertaining ever since he's been champion and that all boils down to how much they dial up his chickenshit heel act to 11, to the point where it's downright embarrassing whenever he beats someone.

The only person that I'd categorize as amazing on the mic is Paul Heyman. Rollins is pretty decent but I wouldn't call him great or even good. He's serviceable when he has to talk for about 3 minutes but anything more than that and he usually puts me to sleep. Rollins doesn't draw but that's not something that many people do nowadays so it's all good, I guess.

Mic skills and star presence are his two biggest flaws IMO. He honestly doesn't exude a presence of someone that's gonna "shake things up" whenever he enters the arena.

-------> :bored That's how I usually am TBQH.

So yeah, I guess I'm done "bashing" Rollins. Now for things I appreciate about him:

-4th best in-ring worker in the company
-Plays his heel role effectively
-Has great chemistry with Dean Ambrose
-Would be awesome as a daredevil babyface

Appreciate that you actually have reasons and debated as opposed to bashing. Rollins was cheered at mania cuz it was a super smark crowd that would have cheered hornswoggle as long as it wasn't reigns.

And yes. The names u mentioned are great. However all of them were also cheered at points and Rollins is universally booed minus super smark cities. JBL would be a good choice but I said decade and that was 11 years ago :)

Aww, what's the matter, can't handle a little criticism towards Rollins? Too bad, he's trash - he deserves any criticism he gets. And on this site, he gets nowhere near enough.



They made him "the guy" because they hate wrestlers with charisma and mic skills - which precludes easily the best former member of The Shield, Dean Ambrose.
I disagree, he is the most over but I do not find him to be the best. I think Rollins has a more well rounded performance package.

He's trash? Ok. You didn't give any valid arguments so i can't even give a valid response. Good job.

Are you that sensitive OP? Do you "____ appreciation thread" every time somebody criticize a wrestler. Take Ambrose for example, 99/100 thread made concerning him is a bash one. Or you can also take Roman, Ryback, Salomon Crowe etc.. Do we act like it's the end of the world? Don't think we do. So just kick back man, it's not that serious.
