I'm sick and tired of Seth Rollins

I'm fu*king sick and tired of this piece of crap champion. Ever since his heel turn last year, he's been nothing more than a coward pussy heel and he's literally still doing it right now. After watching Raw's ending tonight, I'm sick of his gimmick and his 2 loser security guards who I should never see on my TV screen period.

His promos suck, his delivery sucks, even his wannabe heel laugh is annoying as fuck. He's truly one of the worst coward heel champs I've ever seen.

Let fucking Randy beat him on RAW without the 2 midgets interfering and Rollins escaping like a punk.

WWE sucks....NXT talent need to take over the show.

No one can deny Seth has improved greatly character and mic wise. Especially from his time in the indies and even NXT. WWE has given him ample time to improve and he has, you can't take that away from him. Hell, I was one of the few who was marking the fuck out when Seth turned heel. I knew he had a little cockiness and brat to him in real life, so I knew he'd knock it out the park. Gimmicks that come from within always translates better.

While I still adore Seth, it's time for another character development. I don't know what, but it needs to happen. I love J&J but it probably is time for Seth to really strike out on his own; especially as champion. Yeah, he's a transitional one so it truly doesn't bother me he's pretty chicken shit. But I can see why others hate his booking.

Maybe all he needs is a new opponent and fresh storyline. He pretty much has faced all the top babyfaces, so that's going to be pretty hard. Either way, everything with Seth and surrounding him is stale. No fault of his own since it's booking, but it's still true. Not trying to take the piss at him. Just stating my opinion of his current situation.

Can't believe the Rollins criticisms. The guy is a great cowardly heel, he's decent on the mic (he entertains me at least) and has wrestled some brilliant matches this year. He hasn't even wrestled his first proper PPV title defense yet and people are getting fed up? Some people are never happy! Rollins is a great talent. Genuinely surprised by the hate.

First of all, did my eyes decieve me? 2Slick is here. I seen you liking that comment on the first page, where are you mate? @2Slick :mark:

This thread is hilarious. I don't think I've seen a heel in recent years not being booked the way Rollins is. I'm a big fan of Seth Rollins, he's been fucking mint since his heel turn, and that's something I wouldn't have expected really. I enjoy his promos, his in ring ability is solid and for me has presence. Watching him in the ring with Lesnar and Cena, to me he belonged there. I haven't felt this way about a talent since CM Punk left really - well a heel anyway. I'm a Daniel Bryan mark, but look at the suffering that did me.

What wrestlers are you a fan of OP? curious

Honestly, I WAS a fan of Ambrose once the Shield split, was happy to see a fresh new look for him, but with creative sucking and they way the booked him, I kinda lost interest. I'm a fan of Brock when he goes Ape shit like 2 weeks ago after WM.

Seth's great. The single fact that he puts on great matches yet is still able to get heat (almost unheard of in this era) proves that OP is a nugget.
A Nugget?



I'm sticking with my statement in OP....he's not doing a great job. I would like it if he did the cowardly act by himself without having an entire squad of authority douches to attack someone (i.e. Orton back in November).

Like last night, rather than backing out of Orton's 2nd rope DDT, he could have came back in to beat up Orton. I'm sick of him doing that on a weekly basis.

And I probably cursed myself by pointing out his shitty laugh. I know he's going to run with that for a long time.

I think he plays a great cowardly heel, I'm enjoying it anyway. How boring would it be if everyone in WWE was a bad ass?
 
#139 ·
That's the one thing that surprised me. Even even got smarks to boo him. He got the crowd going crazy for Neville the week before and he actually got Kane cheered on Raw. Love when people say he isn't a good heel despite getting great reactions every week.

He's been a great heel but he could be a great face some day.

Rollins definitely isn't getting "go away" heat. There's been multiple times in which he's been cheered, including recently. Heels who occasionally get cheered and also receive "you sold out" chants don't get go away heat. Go away heat is reserved for guys like X-Pac. Gross mischaracterization.

Pretty much every character in WWE hasn't evolved in months. Reigns still wears Shield gear, has the Shield theme song still. He comes off as looking a scorned ex girlfriend who can't get over an ex boyfriend who dumped her ass and left her on her own to fend for herself, which hasn't worked out for her, to say the least. Rollins also gets more promo time because so many of the current full timers from the upper midcard can't even cut a decent promo. Maybe if those guys stepped up their game, they would get more promo time and Seth wouldn't be on the screen so damn much. I legit think that is a BIG part of the reason why Seth gets so much airtime. Even WWE themselves know while they like certain guys who aren't Rollins, that they desperately need to step up their game in a big way just to achieve the label of being "decent." Triple H cut the same damn promo every week in 2000, he became famous for it. And alot of those promos were flatout terrible. Droning on and on about being "The Game" and that awful delivery and tone he had. They were horrible watching them back now.

The Big Show gets "You Sold Out" chants. You've just proven my point. The post Wrestlemania crowd didn't even cheer Seth. They hijacked his match. If he was as over as you say, then they still would've cheered him despite the mundane match.

I've mentioned several times that Reigns needs to change. That still doesn't excuse Seth for being the most stale act on the roster.

They can't step up their game if they aren't given time. Reigns has been given more mic time and he's gotten better. No one else has, because it's necessary to have two sets of 20 minute promos for Seth to bore the crowd to death. Triple H didn't cut the same promo every week and he's one of the greastest mic workers of all time. "I'm the Game, and I'm THAT. DAMN. GOOD." is a catchphrase. "I'm the future." is not a catchphrase. It's a lazy copout for having shitty material and a moniker given to literally every relevant NXT talent. Seth is effectively saying he's on the same level as people who haven't even made their main roster debut. Since he's the champion, he should talk about being the NOW. Seth's delivery also sucks with his whiny voice, but of course you'll attribute that to being a coward heel instead of him simply being bad on the mic.

I think Seth's treatment could be better sometimes. I can do without the Authority in general. That angle should have been dissolved by now.

But Rollins himself is one of the (very) few things left about this product that I still enjoy. I get a real kick out of his laugh.

Seth Rollins is just doing his job as the cowardly heel in this role. When he does that laugh. Not only it is to annoy you but it also a troll laugh manner. You think he sucks on the mic and his delivery sucks? Okay look at his whole wrestling career. ROH, WSX, NXT and now. Each year he has improved on the mic and his delivery is getting an inch better from his early wrestling career. He stole the show at this year's Royal Rumble in a triple threat match. He stole the show at this year's WM during his match with Randy Orton and cashed in on main event match. Won it too in a heel manner. It has only been what now a few weeks and you are already tired of him as being a heel Champion? Good grief I would hate to read on your thoughts when Edge was a cowardly heel and heel Champion and Triple H as a cowardly heel Champion in the Ruthless Aggression Era. If you don't like him that match then the logically thing to do is just stop watching him completely.

Rollins is stale. The fact that others are stale too doesn't excuse that he is. It's ridiculous that Ziggler can beat Neville but the WWE Champ needs help from J&J Security.

The person who carried the belt after Brock Lesnar needed to have stronger booking. How do you go from a dominant force in Lesnar to more chickenshit heel antics from Rollins? The WWE needs to correct their booking with Rollins, scale back his overexposure and switch up his promo's.
 
#244 ·
I can understand that some people are annoyed by the chickenshit antics or the weak as fuck booking. I'm a huge fan of his and it kinda bothers me too but you can't question his improvements over the last year .
And they mean nothing to me since his stagnant booking won't allow me to enjoy anything outside of his in-ring work. He's been the same character for nearly a year, cuts the same boring promos, and gets weaker and weaker every month. And no, my frustration with him has nothing to do with him being a great heel. That's just a poor excuse since I'm part of an audience that can't be worked.

It is Vintage WWE, take something that is good, and drive it into the ground and make people sick of it. The WWE is so short-minded ALL the time it is laughable.

6 hours of weekly programming and instead of using it to give the entire roster meaningful storylines, character development, and reasons for people to care about the entire card, the WWE uses all this time to over expose their top guys and in turn make people care about almost NONE of the card instead.

This isn't a problem with Rollins at all, Rollins has been the WWE's MVP over the last year (outside of Lesnar and Heyman for the prior month) this is a problem with the WWE's booking, writing, etc.
 
#264 · (Edited)

It is a Rollins problem since he is the vessel of WWE's booking. Everyone blamed Ambrose for his poor delivery of Vince's shitty material, everyone blamed Reigns for his poor delivery Vince's shitty material, so Rollins should not be absolved of blame because he's a favorite around here. There needs to be consistency. It doesn't matter how good he is. The :fact is people are sick of hearing him cut the same promo and it's doing nothing for the product.

A heel is pissing you off? sounds like Seth is doing his job right.
 
#29 · (Edited)
Oh, God, THIS shit again. How many times does it have to be explained that some people just don't like certain TALENT? I can't stand Seth either, but since he's a heel, he's doing his job right. Ironically, you'll never hear anybody admit that he's doing his job wrong when I hate him as a babyface, then it's my fault.

I just don't watch his segments. Absolutely NO idea what he did tonight, not a clue, because I don't care, because he's insufferably boring. That's not the kind of heat they want, they want the kind that keeps people watching.

same people in here that are already tired from Rollins were the same that were tired by Punk doing the exact same role to a tee

guess both are pretty good in that regard
Not in the slightest. I would've been happy with Punk still being champion right now off of that 434 day run. He's a completely, completely different level than Rollins.

It's what a heel is supposed to do.
The problem I have with it is that Rollins' in-ring work doesn't really compliment the idea of the viewer is supposed to dislike him. It worked fantastically for a guy like JBL but when I see Rollins wrestle he's generally more entertaining than the person he's in the ring with.
