Seth Rollins Thinks The Wrestling Service Is Dead If Everybody Follows The ‘Logan Paul Design’
Seth Rollins continues to speak up on Logan Paul as the 2 construct to their reported match at WWE WrestleMania 39 in April.
While speaking on WWE After The Bell, Rollins was asked if he still thinks Paul is a traveler on the planet of professional wrestling.
” Yes and no,” stated Rollins.” There are apparent benefits to having individuals from beyond our world entered our world. Logan Paul is not a brand-new phenomenon. We’ve been doing this in WWE for years and we’re going to continue to do it for a long period of time after Logan Paul is gone. There’s simply a lot to be stated about having these kinds of entertainers on our program and whatever they might be doing. You take a look at the Rock N Wrestling Connection, all the method back to Cyndi Lauper, the very first WrestleMania with Muhammad Ali and Liberace, you had everything. It makes good sense. It’s a various monster, I feel, when you begin getting these individuals in the ring on a semi-regular basis. You take a look at Lawrence Taylor versus Bam Bigelow, ideal method to use these stars. Lawrence Taylor was a professional athlete ahead of time, among the best linebackers in NFL history, and likewise, a person who wasn’t calling himself a wrestler. He didn’t walk around getting a huge head thinking, ‘‘ I can do this, I’m so proficient at this, this is a cake walk for me.’ I do not desire individuals walking around believing that’s what wrestling is, that it’s paint by numbers, someone programs you and you’re going to be simply great. Now you’re the greatest star, you’re the very best thing that has actually ever taken place which’s what business has actually ended up being. There would not be a wrestling company since no one would be able to do the damn thing if every single one of us simply followed that roadway map. That’s not what it is. It is making the towns, having hundreds and countless matches in various cities in front of various sized crowds. It’s discovering your trade. This concept that you can, poof, get on a video camera, movie yourself, do some crap on social networks to end up being a star and have some worth worldwide, perhaps I’m an old crotchety male, however I do not comprehend what worth you’re returning to the world.”
Rollins continued,” In the Logan Paul circumstance, I do not comprehend what long-lasting worth he’s going to have the ability to return to us. It’s something if you are available in, do your thing, and leave, however this guy has an agreement with WWE. He’s expected to have a couple of matches a year. That does not make you an ambassador for business, that’s not what wrestling is. I do not desire my trainees, I do not desire the next generation showing up and believing that’s how you make it in wrestling. If everyone follows that design, business is dead.”
