...is there TOO MUCH Seth Rollins? Is he overexposed?

[thegame415]

Overexpose? He was completely exposed a few months ago.

[Rican]

I don't think it's quite as bad as Triple H's reign of terror. Seth looks way more vulnerable fairly often than Triple H ever did during that time (and often too vulnerable, jobbing clean to Cena on free TV). I also never feel like Seth is the MAIN focus of the show. It always feels like The Authority featuring Seth Rollins.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I don't think his overexposure has much to do with business but personally, as a viewer, I'm just tired of seeing dude with the title.

Batista needs to come back and wreck this dude(taking his girl is optional, but it's Batista...so probably)

[Deleted]

I just don't want to see him everywhere as champion. When he wasn't champion it wasn't as bad but these days we know this is a filler feud. We know this is leading to nothing. We aren't really interested in the champion everywhere doing random stuff for no reason. In that case, just give the belt to Reigns. He would at least have better feuds from a defense standpoint.

[H-Virus]

I'm far, far, far more tired of seeing the people he's constantly hanging out/feuding with (Hunter, Steph, Kane, Cena...). If he would just get away from the Authority and start feuding with some newer, more interesting people, he probably wouldn't look so bad. Hell, the two backstage segments he's shared with The New Day in the last few weeks were miles ahead of anything he's done recently with Kane.

Everybody is over-exposed.

He might not want to this time, with all the supremacy paraphernalia and everything.

He seems to be in the Cena-spot of all the eggs in a single basket.

[Chiral]

Overexposed in the sense that the house show booking leads to him doing the same things every night; complains about having a match at the PPV, complains about Kane to Kane, "UH HUH UH HUHUH AHAHAHAHA", complains about nothing for about twenty minutes (seriously the dude can really drag saying nothing for a long time), usually wrestles Cena, etc.

It sucks because he's just about the only new guy they've given a full push to in I don't know how long and they still quarter-assed it. It's like they're trying to do a new reign of terror while still saying "Triple H is so much smarter, stronger, funnier and sexier than Seth" which is asinine since Seth is full time and Triple H is the non-wrestling authority figure.

[Sicho100]

Uh, yeah?

Pretty much everyone they use is overexposed these days, with the guys on the top being the most overexposed. Seth has an opening twenty minute promo, and is in about 5 segments every. f***ing. show. And he's often wrestling. Cena's been that way for a decade, The Authority are in a bunch of segments - and often the opening twenty minute promo - each show, Kane's in many segments. Why should I be excited to see someone if they are never not on the show?

And the matches. My God, the matches. Every damn week, we need to see everyone use all of their moves against the same people. All that does is devalue the matches they are supposed to be building to. The way WWE books feuds, and the way the wrestlers work TV matches, make it so that the PPV matches are nothing special.

I feel like I'm a broken record, but, seriously, this shouldn't be too difficult. Step 1) Stop using the same f***ing people in 5+ segments per night. Step 2) Start using people that are constantly in 0 segments per night (Heath Slater, Fandango, Brad Maddox, etc). Step 3) Don't have people feuding face each other every f***ing week. Bring back squash matches (with local indy guys), have different levels of the card interact on a regular basis (for example, Dean Ambrose against Heath Slater). Step 4) Don't have every match be a kick-out fest. The reason kick-out fests have worked is because it's a big deal when people kick out of certain moves. If everyone kicks out of those moves, then the matches don't work.

They do that, and the shit that happens can actually mean something.

The main issue is he hasn't really had a good foil/counter point since Ambrose; and even then was written way weaker than it shoulda been.

I tend to agree with this. Seth needs a feud that people care about since he's a heel champion. I don't think he's overexposed at all though. He's the champion and should be in the main event regularly and featured regularly. He just hasn't been given anyone to feud with beyond Ambrose that people gave a shit about.

As much as people hate the Authority, I think they're the only reason Seth has the title in the first place. I think Triple H and Steph see their presence as a "safety net" of sorts to give them leeway to push younger talent without fear of a massive ratings drop. They probably think that without Seth's association with The Authority, he won't be as "interesting" and they'll be "forced" to put Cena back in the spotlight and no one wants that.

[Nr1Humanoid]

That's soap opera writing in 2015 in a nutshell isn't it? Endless focus on the same shit when you have an enormous canvas to choose from? Writers too much in love with writing for their personal favorites.

[The Ichi]

Maybe stop feuding him with dinosaurs.

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

I think that the real problem with rollins is that they really lost the focus on what he should be.

When he was the golden boy of the authority, with JJ as his boydguards, he really felt like a more complete character, but then, he just became that guy that held the title, which was also feuding with his patrons, and with the other wrestlers, making it boring.

When HHH was in the mcmahon helmsley era, he always felt like the final boss to beat the game (pun intended) but with rollins after a while you start feeling that he isn't really the last true boss and that he is just there.

Also, most of the time he feels like the underdog, like the triple threat match at the royal rumble, or lastly facing sting and cena in consecutive matches. even though one could argue that he deserved it, they did an awful job to sell that

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

At least he only started getting featured in 2014. They have guys like Orton and Cena who have been featured for a decade like Rollins is now, and are far more overexposed.

[Hit Girl]

Anyone in that role would be overexposed. I have absolutely had enough of the evil heel corporate champion persona.

[Instant Classic]

Its just the way he's booked.

I don't think Seth has been overexposed but I can see where people would get the idea. He's nowhere near 2012 AJ Lee overexposed. I honestly think Seth has done a good job with his gimmick that's pretty much a cocky mouthy spoiled brat. He's one of the better things in WWE right now, it's just every feud Seth is going to have will be against someone no one wants to see. I would like to have a new WWE champion but I'd rather have it be Seth than John Cena or Kane.
