Seth Rollins Says WWE’s Audience Looks For Things To Complain About

[Buffy]

In an interview with the San Antonio Express News, Seth Rollins spoke about criticism from fans online, stating that WWE’s audience tends to look for things to complain about. Here are highlights:

On his 2019: “This last year for me, 2019, was the craziest year I could have ever imagined. Things happened that I never even thought were going to happen.”

On the Royal Rumble: “The Royal Rumble is a really cool thing to be a part of, and when you win, that’s the company’s stamp of approval. They send you to WrestleMania, and you know that you’re going to be in some sort of marquee matchup. It never ceases to amaze me that I’ve got an opportunity to perform in multiple Royal Rumbles and even win one.”

On his heel turn due to fan backlash: “It is a different era than it was back in the day. Now, it’s easier to be an antagonist because … anybody who consumes entertainment has a voice to be heard. They can get online and say whatever they want, and even if one or two people respond to it, that’s one or two people more than 20 years ago when they were just sitting in their living room talking crap to their friends. … Our audience looks for things to complain about, to dislike and to pick apart. It’s such a short, short lifespan. If you can maintain being in that hero role for a lengthy period of time, you are doing something incredible.”

Stop stealing my opinions Seth.

 

[Cwalker]

He’s not wrong

 

[Chris]

He's not wrong, but just because people are looking to complain about something also doesn't mean all complaints can be written off as petty. People are allowed to dislike things just as freely as they are to like something, I just wish people would spend more time talking about what they liked and ignoring the things they disliked.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Shocker, Seth Rollins being right about something.

 

[Cwalker]

I know it hits home for Seth for sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation where the fans were begging for someone to be the top guy at the beginning of the year and were begging to get rid of him by the Summer

 

[Deezy]

That's what fandom does.....it turns love into hate.....what is a fan by definition.....a fanatic.

Goes across the board for anything.....thank fuck in jaded about everything and have low expectations for the most times.....come out thinking a movie or show wasn't so bad....."what were people complaining about?" Is the first thing I say afterwards.

 

[Stellar]

It's easier for everyone to be negative than to be positive. Thats why the majority of discussion about wrestling on the internet is usually things that people dislike.

 

[Mox Girl]

He's right.

But myself, I try to focus on the people I like rather than the people I dislike. I spend WAY more time discussing my faves than I do talking about people I don't care for. I find the negativity draining.

 

[Petty]

All of you say he's right?

LMAO. 20 years ago he wasn't even in the business first of all. Second of all, 20 years ago people still complained online about when the product sucked ass. 20 years ago we had internet you dumb fuck (Seth). Rajah was around and places for us wrestling fans to comment was around. The difference "Seth" is 20 years ago the product didn't stink sometimes and you didn't have one big game in town like WWE is now.

Seth, you wouldn't have made it past mid-card twenty years ago.

So he's still right. His complaint is people will complain about the product irregardless of what's going on.

 

[Petty]

He's right but like before, it's the same ole argument I stated before when you guys got in your feelings for me saying it.

The product still doesn't consistently produce good content. If that makes him right, so I guess we the consumer should just pay and accept spending our time which could be spent elsewhere for someone who atleast wants to make an effort?

If that is what you guys want to be okay with, I've said it before. That's cool. However, Seth to me seems like a crybaby about how it is. Which is why I still resort to my statement, 20 years ago he wouldn't have made it past mid-card. I don't believe people are complaining just to complain. It's bad business to pay Brock the money he is and put titles on part-timers. Unlike when they did it for The Rock, he actually had a "legit" reason for his absence. Brock doesn't. I would say the same thing if John Cena did it. When they screwed up the streak, was we just complaining or do you lot just want to just take whatever effort they put out as good?

Again, if you want to do that. That is fine. But, to me, he's just being a crybaby. But, again that's just me.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Okay then.

 

[Petty]

Okay then.

I know right.

Okay then.
