WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently spoke on his podcast, “Grilling JR,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including Seth Rollins’ status in WWE:
“We’d really come to take him for granted—a phenomenal worker. Last year, I don’t even know if Seth was in my top five, but this attention to character, which has been a slow build, because I remember there were people thinking it was the most embarrassing thing in wrestling, and I was like, ‘He’s on to something, and he’s trying. He’s sinking his teeth into it.’ It was so much fun to see him evolve and take to it where he reminds me of Edge at the peak of Edge’s character prowess, where he just bit into everything, he did it with gusto,” said Foley. “It didn’t matter how silly it was. He was going to make the very most out of it. In the beginning, the new Seth Rollins seemed a little silly, and he kept going with it, believing it. I don’t watch wrestling nearly as much as I used to, but I watch it enough to know that this guy is at a point where it’s the perfect marriage of in-ring talent and character.”
