Top WWE star Seth Rollins appeared on Club Shay Shay to discuss various topics, including whether he wants to wrestle as long as 17-time World Champion John Cena.
Rollins said, “Yeah, maybe. I mean, I’m 40 in a couple months and I feel great. I’m in what I would consider the prime of my career, where the physical hasn’t declined and the mental is as sharp as it’s ever been. And so I would — as long as I can continue to contribute in a way that’s positive for our fan base and for our younger talent, as long as I can continue to make the product better, then I think I would like to contribute — and my body cooperates, I would like to continue to do it.”
On his Mount Rushmore of wrestlers:
“Oh man, that’s so hard. Because you get into this trap of like, in-ring talent, guys who are just great wrestlers, and then you get into money, right? Who drew the most money. So like if you want to talk all-time draws, you got to start with Hogan, you probably got to put [Bruno] Sammartino on there, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and likely The Rock. That’s probably your top four. You want to go in-ring all0time, you’re looking at Shawn Michaels. You’re looking at Eddie Guerrero, you’re looking at maybe — oh man, after that it gets real hard. Because you know, Dynamite Kid was really good but he was kind of a jerk. Bret Hart was really great… and you could put Ric [Flair] in there as well. Flair was special. Dusty was special, but Dusty’s in-ring work wasn’t like — you know, he wasn’t blowing anybody out of the water. Brian Danielson would be up there. I think, I’d like to be in the conversation at some point. I think AJ Styles, who also just recently retired, is someone who’s one of the greatest of all time in the ring.”
