Since when did this start becoming a thing since he was just real hot and people were on board with him getting a shot at Lesnar and beating him
Has he cooled down a bit, yes but considering they say he's got an injury i'm willing to write that off
I'm guessing maybe it's a Shield thing or idk but figured people be more hype for Seth/Lesnar as far as he's low key got the best shot of actually beating Lesnar and no one is really talking about it

Where are you sensing the apathy? Genuine question.
Granted there's not as much discussion of him on here as you might expect, but I wonder whether that's discussion of Becky rightly overshadowing everyone else at the moment.
As for me, put me down as hype for Rollins-Lesnar. Should be excellent.

I think it is just the story itself is a rehash. People are tired of Lesnar in general and even more of Lesnar vs Shield

Well it doesn't help that he's playing second fiddle to Becky/Ronda and now Charlotte.
Or that his opponent doesn't come to work hardly ever
And that's before you factor in him being hurt.
I could go on?
I am quite salty?

It's weird because he got a hell of a pop when he won the Rumble. And meanwhile Braun was getting booed pretty goddamned hard.

The year my guy finally is back in the main event title picture and its slowly turning to crap. It doesn't even feel like wwe cares.

Lame feud with Ambrose, lost the IC belt to Lashley in a forgettable match, and took a nap at the Rumble. And the feud with Lesnar is uninteresting, even though I think people are sleeping on that match, because that thing should be pretty crazy.

Live crowds still react to him pretty well? Mixed with his being injured, and Brock only appearing once every few weeks, there's only so much to talk about, I guess.

Personally, I'm getting tired of the stipulation of the Royal Rumble winner getting a title shot at Wrestlemania. Every Rumble is essentially decided before it starts, with, what, three or four wrestlers having a shot at winning. Then there's a tedious pattern that defers any true development until Wrestlemania, plus the Lesnar factor.
It's not Seth's fault but these attempts to make the new face of the company should have happened already. Want Roman to be the guy? Should have won the first time. Give Roman time as the true face of the company, then give it to Seth or Balor or whomever.
It just seems too little, too late to me. Seth's been a member of the main roster for seven years already. Either he's your guy or he's not. Imagine if you had the Rock or Austin or Cena wait seven years before getting the chance to be the guy.

The Ambrose feud cooled him off a bit and there are some things that bother me like his lack of selling sometimes, but I still like him and want to see him beat Brock.

Probably trace back to the Ziggler feud last summer that cooled him off a lot. He was red hot from about that gauntlet match in February last year till the Ziggler feud imo and that was the time to go with him. Or Braun who was still hot back then. But no it was Roman because of cause it was.

Despite the Ambrose feud, despite fitting inorganically as the top face, despite Brock not being around, Seth still gets okay crowd reactions..
So I’m gonna chalk a lot of this up to presentation. What the f*** is the point. What’s the story. Is this build gonna be weeks of the promo between Paul and Seth last night?? Cause if so, Yikes.

The live crowds are still very much into him though? If you’re talking on here? It definitely began at TLC. Other than that, I see no apathy towards Seth when it comes to the live crowds, and thank god for that btw

There are two ways the match works out: He loses, or he wins because Brock just decides to let him win.
Lesnar's so unbeatable, there is absolutely no way to convince fans Rollins can win on his own merits. It's hard to get excited about that.

His babyface promos are just terrible. He can't carry a 5-10 minute promo. As someone who grew up with Rock/Austin/Cena/Punk as top guys, I'm used to the top guy on the main show being super charismatic even if I didn't always like them. When Reigns, or now Rollins, come out to start a show though there just isn't that excitement.
I want him to win at Wrestlemania though just to get the title off Brock. It's the exact same as the main event last year. I don't care about the match at all. I just want the main title back on TV.

As ironic as this comparison is, he reminds me of a guy like Bret who isn't very flashy on the microphone(as a face) he just gets it done in the ring. I love all of those guys like Austin, Punk, Cena, etc. But WWE expecting all their top guys to be able to cut 15 minute promos has exposed alot of guys, where they should have played up to their strengths. Personally, I thought Seth had some great lines on Raw, his delivery could use a touch more confidence. Seems like alot of people were having an awkward night on promos.

Honestly I just think it has more to do with dealing with Brock. Seth is still over but I think people are tired of Brock

Taking a backseat to Roman during the Shield reunion and then the godawful feud with Dean derailed a lot of his momentum.
WWE just adamantly refuses to strike while the iron is hot on just about everything. He's still the best male babyface on Raw, in my opinion, but the Seth who beat Roman and Cena in one night is the Seth who should be taking on Brock.

I like Seth well enough, but for his talent and his fanbase, he's a bad top guy.
He does not know how to conduct himself in a way that won't potentially bring heat on the company. If, in a few month's time, he has the title belt and we hear about him causing problems of, oops, he hits on some married woman in a hotel bar and causes a big kerfuffle, will a single one of you be surprised? If a celebrity does something stupid, and Seth is rushing to their defense on twitter with half-formed opinions and looking like a dope, will any of you be shocked?
Seth's just not that bright.
Beyond that, in babyface promos, he just sounds perpetually whiny. There's just something about him that lends a pissy tone to most of what he does on the mic.
