WWE likes to tout its social media numbers but with such a large following comes a lot of very vocal critics. That's particularly the case now that
RAW and
SmackDown Live have declined in quality somewhat but Seth Rollins is hearing none of it!
In recent days, he's feuded with Will Ospreay on Twitter and heavily criticised Jon Moxley for leaving WWE and then bashing the company. Now, though, the Universal Champion is making it clear that he's had enough of fans and sounds a lot like Vince McMahon when he notes that it's down to the current
"generation."
"You can only sit back and read people bashing what you love for so long and sit there and take it and try and take the high road so to speak. I'm real proud of what I do every single week. Not just Mondays but every single Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. I'm real proud of what I do and what our crew does and the effort we put forward. And I'm not just talking about just the wrestlers, the guys and girls you see out in the ring, I'm talking about everybody from creative all the way up to Vince McMahon.
"We put a ton of effort into making a product that I think is pretty darn good considering the amount of content we put out there. The fact that people want to sit on there on their soap boxes on their stupid social media machines and talk down about it really speaks volumes about the generation and where they're at. I figured if someone is going to fight back, might as well be me since I am the Champion and consider myself the top guy in our company."
Rollins does make some valid points here, especially as there really are a lot of people in WWE who work massively hard to make the shows we watch a reality.
However, tearing into fans who share their thoughts on the product online seems beyond petty and it almost comes across like he's telling people they should be grateful for what they get and shut up if they don't like it...clearly, being Vince McMahon's "guy" has had quite an impact on him, eh?
