The "I don't hate Seth's title reign" Cabal

[wallabylikeyou]

I'm not going to ask "am I the only one who thinks..?", because there's always going to be someone else who thinks the way you do, so consider this a nice, safe place to admit that you don't think Seth's World Title reign has been the total bust it's been written off as by so many. I'm not the only one...right?

[Milkman Norm]

Honestly it's so hard to say in this current environment because all of the indicators that have been used to prove boom or bust no longer matter. Wrestlers no longer drive ratings, ppv barely exist anymore and the network is promoted for the content not for any single talent. So while one can say that they don't like the booking of Seth Rollins in the period or that they do like the booking of Seth Rollins I don't think any of us can say his reign was a total bust.

The matches are good to great. His character is entertaining. I'm quite liking it.

[Big Poppa Pumpkin]

I have liked his matches, I just think the WWE 'he's a heel and not a hulking man-beast so we have to book him to look like the biggest pussy possible' style is so eye-rollingly played out. Like they had Cena say 'hey kid you are honestly really good' the other week but in terms of the way his matches have ended there's no evidence or reason for Cena to say that, because they refuse to book him in any way that makes him look like a serious threat.

I don't hate it,but at same time,it could have been better

[WWEedy]

I have loved it, I think he's the best heel in god knows how long and really enjoy his work. I also disagree with those who say he hasn't been booked strongly, he has been booked extremely strong as far as his character and the angles have allowed and for where it seems to be obviously leading.

The match at Summerslam with John Cena for example was a shining example of Rollins going balls to the wall and stepping up against "the best" in the WWE. Just because of the screwey John Stewart finish doesn't take away from the strength Rollins was booked to throughout the match.

Mark my words, if this does end in a faceturn and HHH/Rollins at Wrestlemania this title run will have been the catalyst to Seth Rollins becoming the biggest star in the WWE.

Better than Brock's was.

Low bar, I know.

[Deleted]

I don't really hate it. The Summerslam match with Cena and the ladder match with Ambrose were awesome. I think he's done a kick-ass job overall, with a lot of factors working against him.

[Mid-Carder]

I've enjoyed it. He's great. There's almost nobody I'd rather see as champion than him.

[comahan]

I've enjoyed it. It's very similar to how Bobby Roode's reign played out in 2012 TNA, and that reign was great. Both fantastic wrestlers whose ego has gotten the best of them, and they escape every month with their title due to a mix of cheating and pure luck, then go on to brag incessantly about how amazing they are. All while giving us great performances in the process.

[The Yes Man]

I have enjoyed most of it.

[Sephiroth]

Seth has been making the most if it. But he shouldn't have to do so-there are any number of stars Seth could be having great programs with, but WWE seem unwilling to break out of their same old same old.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

He's having good matches and he's entertaining enough. I just hate the fact that WWE have the mindset of "He's a heel so he needs to be a pussy."

The quicker they get out of that dated mindset the better. Cowardly heels are fine, but not every heel should be a coward or a cheat. Especially if in the past the wrestler has had success and looked tough (like Seth has) so him suddenly becoming a pussy who can't win without cheating or interference doesn't make sense.

[joey joe joe junior shabadoo]

he's booked like flair was in the 80s. what's not to like?

[Instant Classic]

I'm starting to like his reign a lot more now and if Sting doesn't win I hope Rollins carries the title until Wrestlemania.

[rapidfire187]

I'm happy with Rollins as champ but I've come to terms with the fact that WWE is just not going to have compelling main event stories very often. I try to ignore RAW and Smackdown and just watch the PPVs. Rollins has had an awesome run of PPV matches this year even if the booking was bad. I want him to keep the belt for the forseeable future.

[government mule]

I love Rollins as champ. Haven't been invested in somebody like this as champion for years. Reminds me of Angle's run from 00/01.

[ayumidah]

I've enjoyed it. I'm a big Seth fan, and it's not his fault if WWE just has tired writing right now. He makes the best of whatever he's given and it's hilarious to watch most times. His role on Smackdown this past week was fantastic, loved watching him sacrifice Sheamus in the tag match.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

I'm glad there are other people who like it! I love what a slimy, whiny, thorn in the side of EVERYONE no matter the alliance, pain in the ass he is. I honestly didn't think he had a good heel run inside of him when he originally turned. I thought once the shock of breaking up The Shield wore off he would flounder and fall down the card.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

I love it, and I love the character Seth has developed. He's a complete shitheel who IS good enough to make it on his own, but f*** it, he's gonna take every path of least resistance possible, because who needs that hard work bullshit?
