He has a bad look, is meh on the mic, has the same spot monkey match every week, and is the least of the Shield.

I don't know what everyone else is saying because from what I hear every Monday, Rollins is the most popular male in the company right now. Last night when the crowd was chanting for him and just these past few weeks Rollins seems to have finally found himself with his current gimmick. The problem isn't him, the problem's what they give him to work with. You give him a lameass Lesnar, you give him Bobby "bitch lameass" Lashley, you give him Baron "bitch on the curb" Corbin, you give him this Roman exploitation stuff, you give him Dean "I'm a heel now and because you're f***ing with me I'm leaving so I don't care" Ambrose in that sad storyline, all of that has dragged Rollins down. That's bad material for him to work with. Let's not forget Drew "man I ain't it" McIntyre, ugh. He'll be fine once this Lesnar shit's over with and they give him some legit opponents but until then he's being pushed back in favor of this Becky/Charlotte/Ronda stuff. It says a lot when it takes that many months of work to push him back and yet the crowd's still chanting loudly. I mean, it's all true, but... Let's not forget Drew "man I ain't it" McIntyre, ugh. KO blow to the heart.

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 everAnd that's before you factor in him being hurt. I could go on? I am quite salty? That's exactly the problem I think. Roman is gone. Ambrose has a foot out the door. HHH is no longer an opponent. Brock just ain't here man. He's not in the top program on the brand. Seth as a character or as a performer doesn't have a whole lot to work off of right now to make people care. Dude needs some big interactions to feel big. But WWE can't seem to figure out how to concentrate on more than one large story at a time. It's one of those "he feels like an afterthought" things.

My absolute main problem with Seth Rollins is that he can't act for shit. Like, in a medium where nobody's exactly an amazing actor, it takes a special kind of bad to actually stand out for it and he is just terrible. Seth promos make me feel like I'm right back in elementary school watching rehearsals for our production of The Jungle Book.

Woulda been nice had they done a little swerve and do Rollins/Bryan. At least that's a little more fresh. Then maybe build towards Finn the Demon vs Brock at Mania

The biggest issues I have with Seth Rollins in this position are...
1. He might be the single worst actor in the company. 2. He has absolutely no interesting options to work with as champion. Every available match has been done to death. 3. I don't at all buy him as a threat to Lesnar. 4. His matches while often pretty good can easily fall into excess where he just does a bunch of stupid spots for no reason. This is compounded by the fact that... 5. The man cannot sell to save his life. 6. His WWE title reign, not counting the five minute one, was f***ing awful.
Granted I will still be pissed if he loses at Mania because this Brock shit needs to end and it needs to end NOW.

The feud with Ambrose really made me not to care too much about him, I thought this would be a big grudge feud, but it was a whole lot of nothing IMO.
Their match at the PPV seemed like two guys going through a regular match on a Raw in the initial stages, I figured Seth would jump Ambrose as he went down the aisle and not wait for some fancy introduction. I know they had some matches since that time, but I just didn't care too much and then when I heard he was in the Rumble, I was like meh. I mean, I don't hate it but I'm not raving about it either.

He naturally a heel. I just can’t root for the guy.

I think we're in for another long-ass segment of a title reign with Lesnar holding the title after Wrestlemania. I have, as of now, no real interest in the card and not much skin in who walks out with the titles. I have lost all faith in WWE's ability to present decent entertainment, quite honestly, except insofar as I'll be entertained by the exodus when it comes.

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. Its both his voice and the fact he was WWE biggest scumbag for years.

I feel the exact same I believe ive mentioned here his "the mind games are over dean" at tlc.. just. My god. So friggin bad. Its ALMOST endearing because it shows he is honest to a fault and cant lie... but his acting makes me very aware I'm watching a guy pretend to be someone. Match wise, yeah it can be entertaining but he is the epitome of 2005 roh videogame wrestling style with no psychology and random if any selling.

I don’t think he was born to be a babyface personally. He doesn’t have the Gargano/Ali/Bryan relatable underdog thing. He isn’t cool enough to be a badass face, he is kind of a dweeb. God forbid you see him in Street clothes, I imagine that is like a kid learning Santa Clause isn’t real, he looks the opposite of a larger than life babyface Champion. And I don’t mean size, I mean his style choices.

Maybe they should inject Charlotte into this feud too, just in case. Think of how historic that would be!

We've already seen Seth win the title at Mania, spot should have definitely gone to someone else.

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. I agree with all of this except the bit about Lesnar. Yeah he put more effort into the Finn match than his usual boring suplex city but I don't see him doing it twice in a row. That is way too much effort in one year for Brock.

I've been immensely apathetic towards Rollins since somewhere during his title run, honestly. All the Shield guys I liked better together in the early days. As individual talents, the one I love most is Dean and he was never used right. I don't think Rollins makes sense as a character/gimmick. He wrestles like a babyface but sounds like a heel regardless of what alignment he is, and it means he doesn't work for me in either regard. Plus, honestly, I just don't really have a hook for him. I say this about a lot of wrestlers, but I don't see anything that Seth can that other people can't. That said, he was MOLTEN hot a few months ago and they really should have had him kill Lesnar then. Yeah, if this was happening at Summerslam when it seemed like everything was clicking for him, they could have really made the guy, but it does really feel it like he lost some steam slumming with Ziggler and then this Ambrose turn gone awry.

I think I have seen like 5 good singles matches out of him in the last couple of years. They wont give him the title, he is not even close to a draw.
But still the best option.
