So, looking back at his 2015, how do you grade Seth? He survived some scandals, hung out with some big names like Jon Stewart, put on great matches and all in all, probably had one of the best calendar years of any superstar.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I'll give him an A, due to the fact that he consistently brought the quality in the ring and put his all into everything, but he falls short of the real heights by virtue of him just having way too much material that was not for him being tossed his way. Nothing about that Shawn Michaels segment needed to happen ever. Were they giving him better mic material or even maybe not portraying him as a whiny coward, I would have no problem giving him a perfect mark, dude was a bright spot in a dark year.

[Mayonnaise]

A for the matches, C for the booking, so B overall.

[The Ichi]

Mostly booked with The Authority and Kane so I'm not gonna hold that against him too much. Ringwise, phenomenal. B+

F?

Damn, I have no idea what someone has to do to get a D then, with that criteria.

[MichaelMartini]

Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and New Day are the acts I'd give an A to in 2015.

[g1megatronfan]

Ok at best.

On the mic?...please God...kill me now! Spare me the horror of sitting through another 25 minute promo ever again. The only time he was tolerable is when he was laughing with the crowd at Sheamus. All for nothing as Sheamus sucks dick anyways. Rollins couldn't have got a very entertaining match out of him so it's probably best that match never happened. Back to Rollins though...I gave him a C. I would have given him a higher grade but those promos killed it for me.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

He was awesome. Shame that his booking was anything but.

I wonder when is the best time to return since Mania is out of the picture. Money in the Bank is an option, but please no case again.

Summerslam interfering in the title match makes more sense.
