Top WWE star Seth Rollins appeared on ESPN’s This Is Football with Kevin Clark to discuss various topics, including which NFL star he believes would have been a big name in pro wrestling.
Rollins said, “Probably Deion. He had everything, that’s the thing. He was a supreme athlete so I have no question he could learn how to do it. He was also an elite psychological player, he was a guy who thought about the game. I know he made it seem super easy, like I just go out there and I’m a great athlete or whatever. Anybody you talk to will say Deion knew the game, he understood it. You see it now as a coach, he’s teaching kids how to do this in Colorado. He’s got the brand right out of the gate, prime, the gimmick is right there. Also, he can cut a promo.”
