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.
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.
They put the belt on him so they could continue to push the Authority crap on everybody. Rollins isn't close to being THE guy he plays HHH and Stephanie's bitch FFS.

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

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
Seth Rollins is awesome. From wrestling in indys in front of 200 people to being on talk shows, getting his own commercials and holding the elite world title of the No.1 wrestling company.
Match could be great but likely will be booked to Lesnar suplexing over and over again with Rollins getting nearly no offense. I hope I am wrong though.
I appreciate Seth's growth on the mic. He's come a long way. His acting chops are pretty decent too as evidenced by his peerless performance selling abject fear when confronted with the presence of The Beast. His booking could be better, but that is true of so many wrestlers.
He's arguably the most talented guy on the roster. They are just booking him like absolute garbage and throwing him out there for 20 minute promos with no purpose.
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.
Rollins is great and it is a shame that they took the Curb Stomp away from from him. He has not had the best booking because he can never win a match clean, but beating Ambrose clean helped his case.
The guy is ultra talented. People talk about Reigns looks but Rollins is just as good looking (no ****)
They talk about Ambrose mic skills but imo Rollins has been cutting atleast as good promos on the mainroster atleast. Fcw ambrose or jon moxley is another deal. Plus he kills both when it comes to inring action. He,s phenomenal.
