Vince Russo blames Rollins for cutting into other wrestlers' time

[Y2Jayne]

Seth Rollins is undoubtedly one of the top Superstars in all of WWE. He has been on a roll as of late and continues to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with. That said, it appears that Rollins was criticized for cutting into other pro wrestlers’ time.


Over the past few years, The Visionary has seen many changes in his character. From 2019 to 2021, his heel work ensured that fans hated him in a big way. That said, his stock rose a lot in the past year, thanks to his excellent feuds with the likes of Edge, Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul and more.


Fans also cannot help but sing along to his entrance song, which sometimes takes over the entire show for a while. This was very evident during WWE’s recent trip to Paris, France.


While speaking on Writing with Russo, former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized Seth Rollins for wasting time inside the ring. Russo pointed out how Rollins’ habit “elongates” his segments and eats into others’ screen time.

“I don’t know what Seth’s excuse is. I mean, my god, I would like to be in that dude’s head. I don’t understand the point of getting them just to sing four or five times, and it’s doing another thing others don’t understand. It’s cutting into other people’s times. You’re now elongating your segment so that other people’s match times are gonna cut down. And like I said, once or twice, we get it; I don’t understand the point three or four times.”

Seth Rollins is set to square off against AJ Styles in the finals of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament at WWE Night Of Champions in Saudi Arabia. We’ll have to see if The Visionary will come out on top and become the new champion.

Like WWE would be mad about having to skip a replay bc the crowd is actually into the show I'm pretty sure Dominick's segments have been.....elongated even more due to the heat he gets and not being able to cut his promo for like 5 minutes but that's a good thing too. It's a live show, play to your audience and adapt

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah this isn’t a story. I’m sure other things have cut other wrestlers time more than the crowd singing Seth’s song

 

[Sabretooth]

God what an idiot

Can't expect any less from that dude

Seth : ''sorry for being over losers''

I blame Russo for attempting to speak up and be relevant in 2023.

Same dipshit said those were piped in.

Does Russo have some personal problem with Seth or what's going on here? Russo can't really mean this... right?

I mean, my god, I'm sure WWE would probably kill to get even more, similar reactions from the live audiences for various talents on their roster. ...and "cutting into other people's times"... yea, because THAT is why WWE constantly fails to properly build characters and stories or fails to give people appropriate opportunities to make some steps forward.

I assume he's just not a fan of the character or the crowd singing gimmick which is whatever, that's an opinion I've seen a lot. He just has to make up a reason why it's bad to defend it so he can prove his opinion is the "correct" one and why everyone should agree with him

 

[Spider DKR]

Russo showing contempt for anybody cutting in to a wrestler's match time is my kind of swerve.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Like Vince Russo ever gave a shit about match times, you ever watch RAW from 1998-1999 and you'd be lucky to get a match that goes over five minutes. Seriously.

Eh not to defend him but I don't think that's his point, it's any time being cut not match times he means. And it makes sense thinking about it from his booking bc if someone went over on a segment by 3 minutes, Russo would have had to cut like 7 segments

im not the biggest fan of the gimmick overall but it's more personal taste/liking him more as a psycho heel. Id be foolish to to not admit I am in the minority and the crowds love it and go crazy for him though
