Former Universal Champion Seth Rollins has been on a roll. He's been squaring up to New Japan Pro Wrestling talent on Twitter by boasting about his bank account, claiming that WWE features the best pro wrestling on the planet, and taking aim repeatedly at his former friend Jon Moxley.
Now, though, he's made it clear that he only believes people criticise WWE because it's the "cool" thing to do.
"I have always been proud to work for the company," he says. "I just think it got to where it became cool to criticize WWE because we are so big and popular. It just sucks that this is the society we live in now where it’s much easier to point out all the things you think is bad as opposed to pointing out all the awesome stuff that is going on in the world."
"It just felt to me nobody was standing up for WWE when we have a lot to be proud of. If taking on a leadership role is what you want to call it, it’s something where I stepped forward and put my foot down. The fact I had people from different departments shoot me texts to let me know they had my back because they felt I had their back. That was cool and validating."
"I felt really good I was representing many people who felt the way I felt," he concluded. No one can blame Rollins for wanting to stand up for WWE but he comes across as being somewhat deluded and it's ridiculous to say that fans are only critical of WWE because they're an easy target. Even Variety has taken the company to task for poor ratings and creative.
