I've never liked him.

After a little more thought, that stupid Shield reunion, back in like August or whenever, probably did him more harm than good.

Latest example of everyone turning on a guy once they actually start getting pushed. Tons of people loved him a few months ago, now we're getting 4 page threads about how he doesn't have it as a babyface and people are even saying his matches aren't that good? Come on. Or, you know, it's possible that it could be different people saying those things, or that people may have reevaluated their opinions on him. I guess we don't like Lizuka now. Fickle.

People need to get beyond "I disagree with an opinion, so obviously there must be an ulterior issue at play".

Reading the thread title, for some reason my brain imagined "Seth Apathy" as his new gimmick, complete with altered vocals in his entrance theme.
*resigned sigh* "Burn it down ... I guess."

It derailed Braun, but it didn't really do anything to Dean and Seth, to me. They went from teaming to... still teaming, but in different gear, and probably making way more money on merch. It's not like their teaming wasn't already tied into Shield history, anyway.

Blame Ziggler. Dolph’s dullness rubbed off on Seth, and now Seth carries the same burden of bland as Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman.

Wasn’t Seth the hottest face in the company at one point? What happened? Was it the Shield reunion where he became Roman’s pet again that cooled him off?

I think Dean had only returned a few weeks before the Shield reunited. He came back looking like a beast and people figured he was looking at a big push. Instead he became tag champs with Seth.

Seth finally got some sort of edge again when he had that gauntlet match last year and after WM when he was defending the IC title in very good matches. Then they decided to give it to Dolph Ziggler for god knows why, and then we got yet another REMEMBER THE SHIELD!? thing that derailed him further, and then that crappy Ambrose feud didn't help at all.
I want to like Seth as much as I used to so bad. I'm glad he won the RR, I think he's a good choice to be champ, but I find his consistency to be lacking.

Apathy is the perfect emotion I have for Seth. He’s fine and all. But he’s there, he’s gone, he wins, he loses I don’t care.
Nothing wrong with him, it’s just meh.

Seth should have said "No thankyou" after Vince told him he won the rumble.

I also think "The Beast vs. The Demon" is the match a lot of us want to see, and think would tell a better story.
And it's a great f***ing tag line to sell your biggest show of the year on.
This is such a huge missed opportunity.

Daniel Bryan will be next.

This is such a huge missed opportunity. Hey now, "The Beast vs The Architect of The Shield, The Master of Burning It Down The Ascendant Athlete (off wwe.com) Seth Freakin' Rollins" has a ring to it. I mean sure, the ring is awfully close to tinnitus, but it's a ringing!

This is such a huge missed opportunity. I think it's that sentiment that's driving the whole "meh" reaction to the prospect of Lesnar vs. Rollins at WM. It feels as though Seth is playing Charlotte to Lesnar's Ronda and a somewhat milder version of Becky in her former mentor. If Finn wins the I-C title on Sunday, that shuts the door for him as a possible contender against Lesnar if WWE gets desperate to boost buy rates for WM. If Finn doesn't leave with the title, it _may_ be a clue that they're holding him back as their Hail Mary pass.
